pter 0253 So , instead , he left me ? His mate ? Nan asked , her eyes growing wide as she stared up at me .<\/p>\n
How does that make sense , Judy ? I was quiet for a moment , not really sure how to answer her I dont know , I admitted .<\/p>\n
Its all too much right now .<\/p>\n
Im sorry you have to deal with this .<\/p>\n
She sighed and threw the pillow to the side .<\/p>\n
I just dont want to think about it anymore , she said , shaking her head as she wiped at her eyes .<\/p>\n
Lets talk about you instead .<\/p>\n
1 smiled .<\/p>\n
What about me ? I asked .<\/p>\n
She rolled her eyes .<\/p>\n
Oh , please .<\/p>\n
Im not stupid , Judy .<\/p>\n
You are living in his mansion .<\/p>\n
You already told me youve been sleeping -together , but I think theres more to it .<\/p>\n
You have actual feelings for him and its obvious he has feelings for you too .<\/p>\n
What are you talking about ? I asked , feeling heat creeping across my cheeks .<\/p>\n
We are just having a bit of fun .<\/p>\n
We both agreed its just a show .<\/p>\n
Its not that serious .<\/p>\n
A bit of fun ? Seriously , Judy ? Hes letting you live in his mansion , she said , waving around at the vast space .<\/p>\n
You are pretty much a princess right now .<\/p>\n
I couldnt help but laugh .<\/p>\n
Im not a princess , I said , swatting at her arm .<\/p>\n
And Gavin has barely been here in the last few days .<\/p>\n
I couldnt keep the bitterness out of my tone as I spoke ; the smile slowly faded from my lips .<\/p>\n
What do you mean ? Nan asked with a frown .<\/p>\n
Is everything okay ? I shrugged and nibbled on my lower lip .<\/p>\n
I dont know , I admitted .<\/p>\n
One minute he cant get enough of me and the next , he doesnt want to spend any time with me .<\/p>\n
He keeps canceling our plans whenever Irene cries for him .<\/p>\n
Irene is causing problems again ? Nan asked , her brows raised .<\/p>\n
I nodded and then I sighed .<\/p>\n
Shes his daughter , so I cant fault him for choosing her .<\/p>\n
But its just constant .<\/p>\n
Every time shes in a bad mood or has sniffles , he cancels our plans to tend to her .<\/p>\n
I havent seen him in days and when I do see him while Im tutoring Matt , he blows me off .<\/p>\n
Claiming hes too busy to talk .<\/p>\n
I dont even think hes sleeping at the villa .<\/p>\n
Which makes me wonder wheres been sleeping if not at the Vill and not- with me .<\/p>\n
I was rambling , but I couldnt help myself .<\/p>\n
I was so confused about what was happening that it was making the words spill from my mouth .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Hes Gavin Landry .<\/p>\n
Hes probably just busy , Nan suggested , a worried frown marring her lips .<\/p>\n
Im sure its .<\/p>\n
hothing to worry too much about .<\/p>\n
Dont stress over it .<\/p>\n
I could say the same to you , I teased .<\/p>\n
You are worried about your mate , and Im worried about a guy Im sleeping with .<\/p>\n
What happened to us ? ~ Chapter 0253 Is this what growing up is ? Nan asked , her nose crinkling Because I dont like it .<\/p>\n
Too many emotions .<\/p>\n
I laughed and wrapped an arm around her as she rested her head on my shoulder .<\/p>\n
Im not a fan either , I admitted .<\/p>\n
But I dont think what Im doing is grown up .<\/p>\n
This is my own fault for thinking I can separate my feelings .<\/p>\n
Nan sighed .<\/p>\n
I wish I could separate my wolf from me sometimes because its her feelings that Im conflicted over , she admitted .<\/p>\n
I knew exactly how she felt ; when Ethan left me for Irene , wanted nothing to do with him .<\/p>\n
I wanted to walk away , but my wolf was the one who kept me grounded and waiting for him to come around .<\/p>\n
She held onto the hope that our mate would return , but I didnt want him to return after what he did .<\/p>\n
Our wolves only know one thing and thats our mates belong to us and only us \u2026 they would never want another .<\/p>\n
Focusing on Nan and Chester was a good distraction from my own problems .<\/p>\n
I should tell you something , I told her , breaking the long stretch of silence .<\/p>\n
She lifted her head to look at me .<\/p>\n
You can tell me anything , she assured me with a warm smile .<\/p>\n
It was nice to see her smiling again , despite all she had gone through these last few days .<\/p>\n
I was nominated to participate in the Gamma Competition Her eyes grew wide .<\/p>\n
Judy , thats incredible ! She gasped .<\/p>\n
Congratulations ! Thats everything youve wanted ! Thanks , I said .<\/p>\n
This was the first time I said these words out loud to anyone .<\/p>\n
I wanted Gavin to be the first one 1 told , but hes been MIA for days .<\/p>\n
Its across the country , so Ill be gone for a few weeks .<\/p>\n
Her face fell suddenly .<\/p>\n
Oh , she breathed .<\/p>\n
So , youre leaving ? I nodded , nibbling on my lower lip ..<\/p>\n
I leave next week , I admitted .<\/p>\n
She nodded , her shoulders sagging .<\/p>\n
Im going to miss you .<\/p>\n
Im not sure what Ill do without out , she murmured .<\/p>\n
But maybe some time away would do you some good .<\/p>\n
That was when I had an idea .<\/p>\n
Yeah , it would , I told her , then I turned to look at her .<\/p>\n
And it would do you some good too .<\/p>\n
Come with me .<\/p>\n
