Chapter 214

He raised his eyebrows at me.

“I think she enjoys playing with me. Do you think that’s true?”

I was just tired of it all. Even I deserved a bit more respect than that; don’t you think?

“Well, yes, of course,” I responded. “But maybe she doesn’t want to play games with you anymore. Perhaps that’s what she’s been trying to tell you since last night.”

He looked at me with a focused expression.

“I understand,” he said slowly.

“I don’t think it really matters,” he said. “We don’t have a future. This was only meant to be fun. There’s nothing more to it.”

“I don’t think that’s true,” I replied, giving him a knowing look. “You…”

“I wouldn’t be so upset if you didn’t care about her at least a little,” he said.

I smiled as I took a bite of the delicious omelet, savoring the taste and letting out a satisfied moan.

“I like sex,” he admitted. “She knew what this was.”

Chester always had a casual approach to relationships. “I’ve been sleeping around a lot lately,” he said. “I’m not ready to commit to just one girl. She’s not the only one I’ve been with this week.”

I scrunched my nose in disgust at him. “Gross, Chester,” I replied.

“I told him.”

He laughed and took an olive from my plate. Then, he tossed it into the air and caught it in his mouth without any trouble.

“Well,” he said, “when you decide to be serious about a relationship, you should keep Harper in mind.”

“I told him,” I said.

He smirked at me while pouring a cup of coffee. “I’ll think about it,” he replied.

I smiled, happy with my little interference.

After breakfast, I decided to find Harper.

She wanted to make sure Chester was okay. Just like him, she felt confused and upset. I thought she really liked him and wanted more than just a physical relationship. She had been thinking about it all night, and it was clear that her feelings ran deep.

Last night, she tried to find him to share something important. Unfortunately, she couldn’t locate him, so she had to wait until this morning. When she finally saw him, he completely brushed her off.

This left her feeling really heartbroken. When I found her, she was still upset about everything that had happened.

She was crying. We had a quick heart-to-heart before she went off to do her duties.

I spent the rest of the weekend alone, like a hermit. I wasn’t surprised that Gavin didn’t come back to see me at all.

Over the weekend, I was surprised when he showed up. I didn’t really expect him to come.

On Monday, I went to school and met Nan in the student lounge. We caught up while studying for our upcoming exams. I wanted to ask her something.

**Chapter 214**

As I watched her, I could tell she was thinking about her mate and what she knew about him. However, she was avoiding the topic completely. Her body language spoke volumes; it was clear she didn’t want to discuss it.

In fact, she might not have even realized that she had already shared some details without meaning to. It was interesting to see how she dodged the conversation, almost as if she was afraid of what would come out if she talked.

With every glance and gesture, she showed me that this was a sensitive subject for her. I wondered if she would ever be ready to open up.

I didn’t want to embarrass her, so I decided to stay quiet until she spoke up. But, unfortunately, she never did.

At the end of the day, Leroy came to pick me up.

I arrived at the mansion and was surprised to see Gavin waiting outside.

Was he waiting for me?

“Hey…” I said as I stepped out of the car and walked towards him. He looked so…

He stood on the front porch, boyish and cute, looking at me like a lost puppy waiting for its owner.

“Hey,” he said as I approached.

“What are you doing here?” I asked. I tried not to sound upset, but I knew he could sense my unease.

I was feeling a bit upset. It had been two days, and I still hadn’t heard from him. I didn’t blame him, but I couldn’t help but feel worried.

“I brought Matt,” he said, pointing inside his house.

“He’s waiting for you inside,” she said.

I nodded, feeling a sharp pang of disappointment in my chest.

“Oh, right,” I replied softly. I had forgotten that Matt was training here until the filming started.

finished at the villa. “Thanks,” I said.

As I started to walk past him, he suddenly grabbed my hand, stopping me in my tracks.

“About the other night,” he said quickly, making my heart race in my chest. I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness.

I looked up at him and noticed his eyes fixed on mine. It made my cheeks feel warm. “I’m sorry,” he said softly.

I frowned at him. “Why are you sorry?” I asked, confused.

“I… I just feel bad about what happened,” he replied, avoiding my gaze.

“I shouldn’t have left like that,” he told me. “I’m sure you were confused when you woke up. You were drugged and—”

“I know,” I interrupted quickly. “I remember everything.”

He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“I remember,” he asked.

I nodded and bit my lower lip, thinking about how he made me feel that night and how he helped me through my struggles.

“Yes, and I never got a chance to thank you… for everything.”

“Uh… help me,” I said, looking at the ground as if it held all the answers I needed.

He paused for a moment, studying my face.

“I’m glad it was me,” he replied, surprising me with his warmth.

I lifted my gaze to look at him.

“Yeah,” I breathed. “Me too.”

A smile crept onto his lips as he stepped closer to me.

“Next time you…”

“Whenever you need help… make sure you call me,” he said to me.

I felt my cheeks heat up, and I nodded quickly.

“Okay,” I replied, trying to catch my breath. “I will.”

He wrapped his arms around me, and in that moment, everything felt safe and warm.

He pulled me into his arms for a hug, wrapping me up in his warmth. We stayed like that for a moment, enjoying the closeness, when I suddenly heard Matt’s voice from the doorway.

“Judy! I’m ready for tutoring!” he shouted. “Stop hugging my…”

“Father, come inside!”
