NovelEnglishChapter 161 Chapter 161 And to think that I couldn't even call Claire to give her a message to him madeeven more worried and sad.
She would have been the only solution right now if Kester wasn't tracking my phone. Now that he's finally hadwhere he always wanted, one would think that he'd stop prying into my personal life. But it only got worse. Kester had always and will always be my stalker, June sighed, her expression soften with pity. "I'm sorry, Kasmine. But... you'll get over this. In a few more weeks. I hope you find your mate on your birthday, she encouraged, and sincerely, I didn't know if I should be happy, sad, scared, or even terrified of that day.
I only gave a hollow smile and nodded, "Kester is certainly waiting for us. Let's go." KESTER.
I had watched her swallow the 'birth control' pills this morning when she woke up.

It filledwith so much satisfaction knowing that she wasn't on birth control in the actual sense.
My grip tightened on the steering wheel as I glanced at her reflection in the rearview mirror. She sat by the window, absentmindedly staring at the blur of palm trees and the sunlit ocean beyond the glass. Her lips were slightly parted.
I wished I could know what she was thinking about this fucking minute. I want to be the only one she thinks about at all times. A sharp, possessive heat licked up my spine.
I couldn't help but picture her with a soft, round belly, carrying our child. Her skin glowing, her curves fuller, and her body marked in every way by me. And years later, tiny 1/3 Chapter 161 feet pattering against marble floors, little hands reaching for me, little voices calling out Daddy.
The image was so right that I barely noticed the noise June was making from beside me.
"You're not listening, are you?" she sighed, rolling her eyes. "You seem way too distracted." Of course, I was distracted. How could I not be? I was in the sspace as Kasmine. Breathing the sair as her without to And it was torture..
I forced a slow inhale through my nose, smoothing the irritation from my face. Tm listening. June." Her eyes narrowed with suspicion. "Oh, really? Then what was the last thing I said?" ber.
She folded her arms across her chest, and for a second, my stomach clenched. Fuck. Kasmine did that a lot. That slittle motion-arms crossed, eyes sharp, lips slightly pouted-that made my insides warm up every time.
My grip flexed on the wheel.
"You were saying that your father is willing to helpsecure the contract with Blackthorne Industries," I said smoothly. "He has connections with their board members and believes he can convince them to move forward with the deal. You also mentioned that their CEO has concerns about the stability of my company, considering the recent... unrest among my investors." A flicker of surprise crossed her face. "Oh." I smirked. "Still think I wasn't listening?" She shifted, uncrossing her arms, her posture relaxing slightly. "Well... I just thought you weren't paying attention. You looked so lost in thought." She was wrong. I wasn't lost in thoughts. I was lost in Kasmine.
I stole another glance at the mirror, but she still wasn't looking at me. Instead, she stole a small glance at June and averted her gaze again.

She barely acknowledgedsince she got into the car. Barely spoken to me. And it was drivinginsane. And what the fuck had she been imagining when she stared at June like that, like she was comparing herself? As if she wasn't the most intoxicating thing in this car.
I forced my attention back to June. "Tell your father I appreciate the offer. I'll meet with him as soon as I return from the trip." June smiled, seemingly pleased with my response. 'I'll let him know." I barely heard her.
Because Kasmine shifted in her seat, tucking her legs beneath her, hugging her arms around herself as she stared out at the rolling waves.
I killed the engine and stepped out, taking in the grand sight before me.
The beach itself. Ved endlessly beyond the glass walls of the reception area, its turquoise waves
rolling g gently against the shore. But before anyone could reach the sand, they had to pass through them luxurious entrance-marble floors gleaming under golden chandeliers, soft instrumental music humming in the background. It felt more like stepping into a five-star resort than a typical beachfront.
