The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 252

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 .
