Lahat ng Kabanata ng HIS RELUCTANT MATE: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

STEPHEN I stared at the doctor with amusement in my eyes, but the little bit of smile died down again. After leaving Jared worriedly, staying at my side for an hour, why would the doctor expect me to joke around with him? Honestly, even though Jared could not understand why the doctor wasn't eager to treat me, I knew it. In a society where only alphas and omegas were important, betas like me sometimes seemed like a waste of space. When things happened, people would care about omegas more and then ask about the Alphas. But betas? We were more like weeds. Most times, unwanted...But it still annoyed me at times. The only reason I hadn't lost my mind all these years was that even though Jared was a beta, he had never had to experience the cruelty betas experienced in our society. Mainly because of his physique. Jared was born beautiful. He had a small physique, though tall, he was lean and with lean but exquisite muscles. With a glance at his tender face, anyone would think he was

JAREDI stood by the roadside, lost in thought. The only thing that came to mind was that I needed to wait for Sterly. He'd said earlier that he was on his way, and this was the only thing that kept me rooted to a place since Stephen left. I watched as cars passed by. My mind swirled with thoughts. Right then, a silver-colored car stopped before me, and the window wound down, revealing a stunningly handsome face. Seeing the man in the car, my lips slowly pursed, and my eyes reddened. Tears welled up in my eyes, threatening to fall. Without waiting for him to say a word, I opened the door and stepped in. Our eyes met, his heterochromatic eyes revealed all the worries he might have tried to hide, and right then, my chest clenched. I wrapped my arms around his waist, hugged him tightly, and began crying. "Stephen... he's pregnant. My friend is pregnant." I cried out loud. Sterly seemed to tense up for a moment as my body trembled against him. My tears stained his shirt, and I

JAREDThe next morning, I woke up earlier than usual. Had a short bath and immediately dressed up for class. I tiptoed downstairs, inwardly praying that Sterly wouldn't notice my action. Fortunately, everything worked well, and even after I left the compound, no one stopped me. I swiped up my phone and booked a ride down to school. Twenty minutes later, a yellow car parked in front of me, and the driver quickly recognized me. Fearful of being caught, I entered the cab and told the man the address to my school. Only when the car started did I breathe in relief. The heavy weight in my chest seemed to be loosened. Looking at the phone which had been silent for a while. I decided to send a message to Sterly to let him know that I had something to do in school. Typing the lies, I felt guilty. But then again, what was I supposed to do?Having spent a sleepless night, thinking about so ma

JAREDStephen and I walked out of the exam hall with bright smiles on our faces. I threw my bag into the air and caught it again. The fresh breeze hit differently as the suffocating days of reading for exams were finally over. No more waking up earlier to go to classes. No more reading for tests. Most especially, no more assignments!At least for a whole month. Beaming, I threw the bag back into the air and caught it again. Stephen stood beside me, staring at me with his fingers roaming around his chest. Seeing his expression, I caught my bag, put it on my back, and approached him. "Feeling nauseous again?" I asked worriedly. Stephen nodded, sighing weakly. "Now that the pregnancy is almost two months, the nausea is becoming unbearable. I really can't wait to pass this phase." He grumbled, rubbing his still flat belly. I patted his shoulder, understanding his plight. He'd been throwing up randomly for the past two weeks, and there were even times he would excuse himself from t

JAREDSterly entered the car and sat beside me. I held my breath, waiting for him to say something, but even till the car started, he still didn't say anything. My lips trembled, and my thoughts became a mess. Staring at his face, which was colder than I'd ever seen before, I couldn't help but purse my lips as my eyes reddened. Without saying, I knew what I did wrong...I shouldn't have kissed him outside there, especially not with such obvious and heavy emotions. He must have read my thoughts and got mad at me for trying to breach the contract. I bit my lower lip as if that would stop the ache in my chest and lowered my eyes to hide the pain within them. The drive home was quiet. The usually comforting cedarwood seemed to have gone extinct, and only a suffocating pressure remained in the air. Sterly refused to say a word to me. He didn't even go as far as looking at me. Throughout the drive home, his gaze only stayed on the other side while his hand, which was placed on his
