Chapter 352 Chapter 0352 What are you doing here? I asked, staring between him and Nan.
Nan had a slight blush on her cheeks, and I had to fight to keep from smiling.
What do you think Im doing here? He asked, raising his brows.
You gavean address; did you think I wouldnt use it? You couldnt wait until we returned? I asked, folding my arms across my chest.
I approved of him being here, but at the stime, I knew Nan chere to escape him and get sspace .
I tried to gauge her reaction, but she was hard to read.
No, he said, his eyes meeting mine.
It couldnt wait.
I stared at him for a long time, seeing the sincerity in his eyes, before turning to Nan.
Can we talk? I asked her; she lifted her gaze to meet mine and then nodded; a flicker of relief went through her eyes, and I knew she was grateful for the distraction.
I told Sammy Id be back before I grabbed Nan by the hand and pulled her along withto a private area, away from wandering ears.
The second we were alone, I turned to face her.

She waited no time, huggingback, her shoulders shaking as she cried.
I cant tell whats happening, Nan.
Are you happy or sad? I dont know, she admitted.
Im terrified.
Im not sure why hes even here.
He saw Tyler put his hands on me, and then he lost it... nearly killed him.
I brought him to the suite so I could clean up, and we started talking.
I asked him if he wanted to reject me, and he straight up said he doesnt know.
My eyes grew wide as a wave of anger washed throughHow could he say such a thing to her? I pulled away from her but kept my hands on her arms; tears were spilling out of her eyes.
Oh, Nan, I whispered, not sure what more to say.
She sniffled and wiped the tears off her cheeks with the back of her hand.
After that, the conversation kind of got awkward, and we were both having trouble breathing.
I found this garden the other day, and I thought it would be a nice place to continue this conversation.
So, here we are ... making awkward small talk and not discussing the real problems.
Thats pretty much when you arrived.
Im so sorry, I whispered, my heart breaking for my best friend.
I was going to kill Chester for doing this to her.
He might have been my friend, but right now, he was the guy who was destroying my best friend, and I wasnt okay with that.
He also felt the need to tellthat he slept with Harper before coming here, she added, rolling her misty eyes He what? I asked, my mouth agape.
Theres no way he had that much audacity; seriously, what was wrong with him? She nodded, giving a pathetic excuse of a laugh as she shook her head like she was trying to shake away the tears.
At least hes honest, I tried to make a poor attempt at a light hearted joke.
Yeah, I guess, she sighed But still... I nodded, understanding what she was saying and where she was coming from.
There was a long stretch of silence Chapter 0352 where we were both lost in thought for a moment.
Can I ask you something? She suddenly asked.
Of course, you can askanything.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf I do reject him, or he rejects....
do you think I would ever find love again? She suddenly asked.
Or would it always hurt like this? Because it really fucking hurtsright now and he didnt even rejectyet I nibbled on my lips and stared at the ground.
I knew she was truly askingbecause I had gone through a rejection, although mine was different.
Itll be easier for you because he didnt mark you yet, I told her.
In my case with Ethan, I had been marked by him for 2 years.
Then, he cheated onand leftfor another woman.
It was devasting for my wolf, and because I was marked I could feel it every the was intimate with her or anyone. It was painful, and my wolf went away for a while.
Shes back now and stronger than ever, though however, whenever Im around him, it still hurts her.
I dont know if thatll ever go away, but when Im not around him, its like he doesnt exist to either of us. I dont know if that helps you or anything, but you arent marked, so it shouldnt be as difficult.
As for finding love again....
Yes, I think its possible to love someone who isnt a mate .
She pondered my words for a long while, nodding and sighing in response.
And then she asked another question, one I wasnt really expecting. Do you believe in second chance mates ? mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
