Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 124 – What Was The Mistake?
(Jessamine’s POV) “Just admit it, Jess. You’re still in love with him,” Deborah chuckled, finding my decision to stay in the Knight’s mansion funny.“Ha! Don’t be ridiculous, Deb.” I rolled my eyes, wandering the bedroom the size of my apartment, maybe twice.I would stay here only for a week, and despite my deal with Theodore Knight, which included providing stuff for us, he still bought everything Kyle needed, from the crib he would only use for a while to diapers and clothes.“I honored our deal,” I remembered Theodore saying, then looked at his wife. “But you can’t stop Susan from shopping.”“Should I have known he’s rich, I would have taken advantage of him.” Deborah laughed giddily at her joke.“Deb!” My eyes widened, still gasping unbelievably at my friend and housemate.Glancing at my wristwatch, I realized it was time to feed Kyle. As much as I didn’t want to leave my son in the family room, I could not say no to Susan when she pleaded to hold Kyle, saying she missed Simone

(Jessamine’s POV) Susan said dinner time was sacred to Theodore Knight whenever he was home because it seldom happened. After that harsh encounter with Aiden in the hallway, I wished to hide and say no to the invitation, but then I realized my stay here was not about him but my deal with Teddy. My hand was on the doorknob, but I looked over my shoulder, not wanting to leave my son to Anne. Susan introduced the forty-three-year-old woman as the nurse-nanny who would help me look after my son. I told her I didn’t need one, but she insisted and told me it would only be for a week.“He’ll be fine,” Anne chuckled softly, glancing at my sleeping son in the crib.I forced a smile and nodded, taking a deep breath to open the door.“Umm…”The ‘Umm’ made me turn. My eyebrows raised, my eyes full of questions more than worry. Anne smiled apologetically and stared at my clothes.“Don’t look at me like that, Anne,” I said, hoping my heart would calm. I was nervous already, and the way she looked

(Jessamine’s POV) The steak was juicy and tender, and another dish was delightful to the taste, but it was not based on my bud experience. It was an earnest comment from Theodore Knight, tasting every dish on the table. He continued to express his thoughts about the food on the table, but I didn’t listen much. “Adam,” Theodore called.He wasn’t calling me, but I raised my head and turned in his direction. I must be imagining it, but there was thoughtfulness in the way he looked at his son.“How was your day, son?” he asked. “I saw the rise in the stock price today.”Aiden only nodded, not answering his father’s question.“Investors have confidence in Adam,” Neomi commented, smiling proudly at the man beside him. “The implementation of his latest AI program was a success.”I lowered my head, focusing on the broccoli on my plate. I had read everything about Adam Knight, and though Aiden was smart… really smart when we were in school together, I didn’t know he could be this genius to

(Jessamine’s POV) Aiden’s bedroom door opening startled me as I returned to my bedroom.My thoughts were too focused on the contract I signed in Teddy’s office. After dinner, he invited me for a private conversation in his office to sign the contract, and I was glad he honored every request I had and stipulated it on the paper. In front of Susan and their family lawyer as their witness, and without consulting Aiden about it, although he was the father, and Xavier as my lawyer, I signed the document.“Aiden, are you trying to kill me?” I hissed, pressing my palms in my chest. I thought my heart would jump out of my body.“Jessamine, please, I want to see my son,” he sighed, scanning the empty hallway.I shook my head and continued to walk. I didn’t know why he had to ask permission when he could have sneaked out and asked Anne when I was not around. He was one of the masters of this grand mansion, so I was sure that even if I told the nanny-nurse that he was not allowed to get near my
Last Updated : 2023-10-30Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 128 – Locked and Closed
(Jessamine’s POV) Aiden is 6’1 feet tall, but he raises his heels and stretches his neck, trying to have a chance to see Kyle, but the elephant-stuffed toy blocks his view. He didn’t argue with me, but he stayed on the side of his bedroom.He heaved a sigh when he couldn’t even have a glimpse of Kyle’s face. Sadness filled his face as he tried again. He attempted another step but glanced at the foot of the doorframe, making sure he did not cross the line.My heart was stung when his lips curved into a gloomy half-smile and breathed out.“For the love of God, Aiden, don’t make me look like the villain here,” I hissed, clenching my hands into fists. “You have a minute to see Kyle.”Aiden’s face lifted up, beaming like I had just announced it was Christmas.“Five minutes?” He was hopeful, carefully stepping into the carpeted floor as if it were a trap.“One minute! That’s all you can get.” I frowned and sat, almost slumping into the chair. Aiden was acting suspiciously, and I hated it

(Jessamine’s POV) Aiden’s return to Carterville was the only thing I ever wished for to be happy, but as I stared at the serene lake in Adilene’s, it hurt so much to think that seeing him again would drift us apart forever. Teddy told me to consider taking the property, a gift that could be Kyle’s someday. Since Aiden put it in my name, only I could decide what to do about it, and last night, I told him I did not want anything from Aiden.“Jessamine!”I turned around, hearing Luke’s call. A big grin curved his lips as he raised his left arm high and waved at me.“Luke!” I smiled, stepping toward him.He opened his arms wide, and I ran to him, accepting a tight hug. “How are you?”I moved back, all smiling but sighing as I thought of how to answer his question.“I’m… fine?” I chuckled, shrugging and sounding unsure. “This motherhood thing is still new to me,” I added before he could think there was more to my answer. “Word of advice, Luke, don’t give birth,” I joked, rolling my eyes.
Last Updated : 2023-10-31Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 130 – Heart Not For Sale
(Aiden’s POV) My heart hammered hard in my chest, anticipating Jessamine’s soft lips on mine. Kissing her yesterday was a mistake, not in a wrong way. I missed my bubbly, innocent, and sometimes terrifying best friend.Jessamine placed her hands on my shoulders, slowly grazing her palms down and stopping on my chest.“In your dreams, Aiden,” Jessamine said in a hushed tone, pushing me.She stood and went straight to the stairs, climbing up without looking at me. I breathed out, leaning on the backrest, taking the cold compress, and pressing it back on my cheek. I snorted, hearing Deborah’s mocking laugh, her way of telling me she won the bet.She bet I would have to die first before Jessamine would give me the kiss I wanted. She even added that I was lucky I was allowed to hold and be with Kyle today, assuring me that Jessamine was serious about kicking me out of her life.Yet I was so sure of myself that I didn’t have to die to get what I wanted. Jessamine kissed me back yesterd

(Aiden’s POV) ‘I want an intimate lunch,’ Dad said earlier, causing Deborah to panic.‘What does it mean?’ Our friend’s eyes were wide, unsure of what my father meant.Susan smiled gently, assuring our friend to relax, and explained that her husband wanted a homey gathering with the family members. When my stepmother told her it was easy-peasy, I believed her because not only did she bring five housekeepers with her today, but she was also willing to participate in the cooking in our old kitchen. She somehow convinced me to cancel a meeting to take revenge on the onion that hit my cheek. While Kyle was with Dad, Jessamine joined us, and for me, it was worthwhile watching them have fun.“Is this your first time to Carterville, Susan?” asked Deborah while mixing the vegetable salad.She glanced at Susan, plating the tuna pasta, a task she never missed doing at home. Whether it is breakfast, lunch, or dinner, she always finds time to make the dishes more than presentable and exciting fo

Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 148 – Three Plus One
(Aiden’s POV) Two years later… “Go!” Deborah chuckled and gestured her hand, telling me it was okay to leave. “We’ll bring Kyle to the hospital later,” she promised. I nodded, picking up the bag Jessamine and I prepared last night. I walked toward the couch, kissed my son, sleeping soundly on the seat, and patted Charlie’s head. He wagged his tail but didn’t bother to follow me. Kyle and Xyla had become his new best friends. Wherever they were, he would be there. Xavier brought Deborah and their daughter, Xyla, last night when Jessamine told them she was in labor. I didn’t know if it was because Jessamine was carrying our second child that everyone seemed relaxed. Only I was panicking, unsure what to bring or how to take my wife to the hospital. “We have a driver, Aiden. Why are you panicking?” Jessamine asked calmly last night as she climbed the bed. Benedict and Xavier raised the same question. Perhaps it was not the reason why my heartbeat was pounding fast. I would love to h
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 147 – Crossing The Line
(Aiden’s POV) “I don’t know, Aiden,” Jessamine murmured sadly. “You love lying to me.”I shook my head and lifted my hand, gently wiping the tears on her cheeks. “I was honest when I told you I broke up with every girlfriend I had in the past, including my engagement to Naomi. Our dads set our marriage up, not me.”If I had to choose freely whom I wanted to be with for the rest of my life, Naomi would never be on my list. She was part of my rebellion, which I regretted when she got pregnant.“Eliza,” The tears streamed down my face as I struggled to speak through the lump in my throat.My heart ached for the little one when I heard her call Jessamine ‘momma’. Eliza didn’t deserve a mother like Naomi. I opened my mouth to explain but closed it again. “You named her after your grandma’s name,” she said.I shook my head. “She named her after my grandma’s name. Not me,” I corrected.If only Jessamine knew how we fought that day but gave in because Naomi was still weak in the hospital.“
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 146 – My First and Last Love
(Jessamine’s POV) “Ha! Ha!” I raised my eyebrows and glared at Aiden. “You know what? It’s too late for that. Whatever you want to say, I don’t care.”I could walk away, but I didn’t move.“Jess, please,” Aiden begged.“Fine! Go ahead with your confession. Let’s get this over with. I just want to go home.”Yet, it would be my biggest lie. For almost a month of staying here in Adilene’s, I knew I was home. Leaving here would scar my heart. Forgetting Aiden would be hell. However, he is getting married, and I don’t want to be the best friend in his love story who hinders his happiness. My sarcasm didn't appear to bother Aiden. He inhaled deeply and fixed his gaze on me. It was for a while, then he turned around, pointing at the lake.“On the other side of the lake is St. Rose Property. I bought it and opened a new business there, a law firm, and I invited Xavier to head the company,” he said, ignoring what I said. He turned to me, blinking once while waiting for my answer.I opened my
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 145 – Here To Confess
(Jessamine’s POV) Awkward? Yes. Angry? No. Maybe.I stood on the porch, staring at Aiden as he kissed our son. He took him from my arms, and my trusting son didn’t even cry. My baby continued to babble ‘Ba-ba’ba’, and guess what? Everyone found it adorable. “Yes, he’s Dada!” Mom muttered excitedly, not considering the feeling of her hurt daughter.I was invincible to Sasha and Aaron. I wanted to scream that it wasn’t their house, but they greeted Deborah and my mom, said something nice to Kyle, and eagerly went inside when my friend invited them for a coffee. They should have at least waited for me, and then I pouted, remembering it wasn’t mine either.Aiden turned to my mother. “Is it okay if I talk to Jessamine alone?”“Of course,” she muttered. “You have all day,” she chuckled with her joke.I opened my mouth, wanting to protest, but I closed it again because it was also the same thing I wanted. Deborah was right. Every time he returned, something happened. He would sweep me of
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 144 – I Was Right, I Was Wrong
(Jessamine’s POV) I inhaled to smell the sweet scent of fresh air in Adilene’s from the porch, but instead, I caught the whiff of the aroma of the coffee bean Mom was grinding from her hand-cranked grinder. I glanced at the crib, checking on Kyle. A while ago, he played with his toes, putting them in his mouth. Perhaps he thought of them as built-in toys. This time, he rolled over, reaching the tail of the giraffe stuffed toy.Kyle just turned four months, but he could do many things—normal baby stuff. He could bear weight on his legs when sitting upright, rolling over, grabbing toys or Charlie’s fur, and babbling a combo of vowel and consonant letters. When I asked him something, and he didn’t cry, it was up to me to decide what it meant. Deborah and my mom thought differently. My friend bet that when Kyle reached the age of six months, he could count numbers and recite the alphabet. Mom proudly told her he was probably like me, a history of my life she now loved to retell.‘Jess
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 143 – He Rejected Me
(Jessamine’s POV) I caught Aiden wincing when I hissed, cringing as Colleen pressed her finger on my scalp. My sister must be waiting for us to be alone. I knew that my crying didn’t help, but she would understand why I wailed like a baby on the staircase. I would explain everything to her later.Colleen sighed and turned to Aiden.“Don’t worry, Aiden. She’ll live. Long enough that the two of you will probably see your ten to fifteen great-grandchildren, in case you get back together,” she muttered jokingly instead of giving him her prognosis of my condition.“When did you become a fortune teller?” I arched my head to see her face.Colleen shrugged and grinned. “It’s one of my many talents, you know,” she said, turning around and walking toward the crib. “Want to see the garden, Kyle? Let’s give mommy and daddy some privacy. What do you think?” she asked gently, scooping my son from the crib.As if it was Aiden’s cue, he held the door open and closed it gently as soon as my sister an
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 142 – The Last Straw
(Aiden’s POV) My heart was still racing, and my breaths came in ragged gasps after sprinting all the way from the driveway to reach Jessamine. My body was still buzzing with adrenaline, but when I saw her crying, I was like sucked into a vortex, returning me to the first time I saw my best friend.I was nine years old again for a split second, seeing a cute little girl in a braided pigtail, curled up in the swing, holding the same math book I had in her arms. At first, I thought she was hurt, but when I approached her, she was perfectly okay and told me, between hiccupping and crying, that she didn’t know how to answer her homework.Of course, she couldn’t. I doubted if she could even read the sentences in the book. She must be five or six years old. She should be in the preschool building, enjoying learning the alphabet or numbers instead of worrying about the word problems in the book.What was a little girl doing in front of the classroom of the third-grade class? She must have mi
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 141 – The Price of Falling In Love
(Jessamine’s POV) I reached for the doorknob, but before I could grasp the exquisitely crafted knob, I clenched my hand and immediately concealed it behind me as if opening the door was a sin. I was reluctant to leave the bedroom for a few reasons, but Anne informed me that Susan was waiting for me in the family room and wanted to speak with me.If only there were another way to the staircase without passing Naomi’s bedroom.“She went out to see her doctor,” Anne muttered.“Huh?” I turned around, lifting a brow, pretending not to understand what she said.Anne’s lips curved into a shy smile. “If you were worried about seeing Ms. Naomi outside, she left to see her doctor,” she said, repeating the message, perhaps thinking I didn’t hear her the first time.“Ah,” I chuckled and sighed in relief. “Thank you for telling me, Anne. I don’t want to have part two of our encounter in the garden,” I joked. Partly.She laughed briefly. “Don’t worry about Kyle. I’ll ask someone to get you if he c
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 140 – A Change of Mind and Heart
(Jessamine’s POV) “Ouch!” I winced when Aiden pressed his finger on my scalp.It was a light touch, but the tingling on my scalp worried me that I would go home bald or I might be wearing a wig on my wedding day. Maybe my hair would have grown an inch or two at that time. Still, I would feel bad. I imagined having my hair loosely braided vertically and horizontally on that big day, but after what happened, I should think of another hairstyle.Aiden clucked his tongue, sighed, and sat on the edge of the bed, turning the chair I was sitting on to face him. I was still mad at him, but sometimes I tend to forget whenever I get stunned by his gorgeous face. I hissed, cursing inwardly and lowering my head to avoid his gaze.“Does it hurt?” He asked worriedly, lifting my chin to meet his eyes. “Tell me, Jess.” When I didn’t answer, he continued, “I’m bringing you to the hospital now.”I squinted, shaking my head. “I’m okay. This is nothing serious. Why don’t you check on Naomi?”He scoffed,
