Chapter 252

Chapter 0252 Judy’s POV +25 BONUS Things were awkward, to say the least.

Chester didn’t bother answering her question; I think he wie too stunned to even speak. He wasn’t prepared for Nan to ask that, and he wasn’t prepared to make that kind of decision. Despite her trying to keep the pain out of her eyes and voice, it was still there. It was clear to me, and it was probably clear to Chester as well.

The car was quiet; Nan refused to sit in the front seat, so I sat in the front seat while Chester drove. He kept stealing glances at Nan through the rearview mirror and she was trying everything she could to not meet his eyes, but I knew she could feel his gaze on her for most of the drive.

Chester parked his car in his usual parking space on the side of the mansion and waited a moment before turning off the engine.

Nan didn’t waste any time.

The second the car was in park, she was jumping out of the vehicle. I waited a moment to see what Chester would do, secretly hoping that he would go after her. But he just watched her as she hurried towards the front door.

“She hates me,” he whispered, his eyes clouded.

“She doesn’t hate you. It’s not possible. She’s your mate,” I assured him. “Give her some time.”

“How much time?” He asked, pulling his eyes away from the now–closed door to the mansion and turning to face me. “She won’t even look at me, Judy.”

“I’ve never seen you so torn up about a woman before,” I teased, trying to lighten the mood.

It was no secret that Chester was a playboy. He liked having fun; almost every weekend he’s out with another woman and it drives Harper crazy. When he is home, he’s either in the kitchen cooking or in Harper’s room.

I always thought that once Chester decided to get his head out of his ass, it would be Harper that he settles down with.

I’m sure Harper was feeling the same way, at least she had hoped that it would be her that he settled down with.

None of us predicted that he would find his mate and I certainly didn’t predict that it would end up being my best friend.

“What do you plan on doing?” I finally asked.

Chester sighed and stared down at his hands.

“I don’t know,” he admitted after a short pause.

“Are you going to reject her?”

A low growl escaped his lips before he could stop himself and for a second, his wolf flashed in his eyes. One thing was for sure, the thought of rejection upset his wolf. So, it was clear that his wolf wanted his mate, it was the man who Wasn’t sure.

“I don’t know...” Chester repeated. “I never thought I would ever have a mate. I never thought I’d have to make such a decision.”

“Well, you better make it fast before you lose her forever,” told him as I pushed the car door open.

“You already broke her heart. Either rip the band–aid all the way off or you better start patching her back together. I hate seeing +25 BONUS Chapter 0252 her like this, Chester, and I hate that it’s you that’s making her like this.”

Without another word, I left the car. I quickly hurried towards the mansion and inside. I looked around the vast space in search of Nan.

“She went upstairs,” one of the maids answered my unspoken question.

I smiled gratefully at her and hurried up the stairs and into my room. Sure enough, Nan was curled up on my bed, a pillow pressed to her chest and tears streaming down her cheeks.

“How long have you known?” Nan asked without even looking at me. I stepped further into the the door behind me.

room a and closed “Known what?” I asked, playing stupid.

“That Chester was my mate,” Nan asked, rolling her tear–filled eyes. “You clearly know the truth.”

I sighed and nodded.

“After you left the other day,” I told her, biting my lower lip. “I figured it out because of how Chester was acting.”

She nodded and turned her face to look up at me; her face was red and blotchy from crying.

“I always wanted to find my mate, I just didn’t think he would end up being such a playboy,” she murmured I sat down on the bed beside her.

“Chester isn’t so bad once you get to know him,” I told her, “Yeah, he has his moments. But he’s a really nice guy.”

“He went on a date with Becky from my favorite boutique, Nan muttered. “That’s how I met him the first time.”

I swallowed, remembering that Nan mentioned meeting her mate. But she was intoxicated when she told me that and never actually went into details. I also remember Nan mentioning going into the city to get a dress for the frat party we went to.

My stomach twisted.

She met Chester that night and that’s what drove her to drink so much during the party.

“He saw me, and I knew he recognized me as his mate just as I recognized him,” she continued, more tears spilling down her cheeks. “But he still left with her. He chose her over me...”

“I’m sure it wasn’t like that,” I said, trying to reason with Her. “He was probably just in shock, and he also made a commitment to someone else that night. He most likely didn’t want to just leave her.”
