Chapter 252
Judys POV Things were awkward , to say the least .
Chester didnt bother answering her question ; I think he wie too stunned to even speak .
He wasnt prepared for Nan to ask that , and he wasnt 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 didnt 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 doesnt hate you .
Its not possible .
Shes 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 wont even look at me , Judy .
Ive 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 hes out with another woman and it drives Harper crazy .
When he is home , hes either in the kitchen cooking or in Harpers 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 .
Im 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 didnt 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 dont 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 Wasnt sure .
I dont know … Chester repeated .
I never thought I would ever have a mate .
I never thought Id 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 Chapter 252
her like this , Chester , and I hate that its you thats 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 didnt think he would end up being such a playboy , she murmured I sat down on the bed beside her .
Chester isnt so bad once you get to know him , I told her , Yeah , he has his moments .
But hes a really nice guy .
He went on a date with Becky from my favorite boutique , Nan muttered .
Thats 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 thats 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 … Im sure it wasnt 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 didnt want to just leave her .
