Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 126 – Sweet? What?
(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
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 127 – The Other Door
(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
Confession 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
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 129 – Not Apologizing
(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.
Confession 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
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 131 – The Rightful Owner
(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 132 – It Didn't Matter
(Aiden’s POV) “You’re the best friend. Tell me, who’s Aiden’s first love?” Deborah chuckled, glancing at me and then Jessamine while I prepared the chicken.I didn’t want to show off, but Susan asked me if I could cook anything to match the pasta, her way of telling me to prepare her favorite dish. It seldom happened since I was not home much since I went to college, but I had to focus on something else before Susan could ask me questions I didn’t want to lie to. She may not be my biological mother, but she knew what had happened that decade I was away with Jessamine.“Why are you asking me?” Jessamine’s eyebrows knitted for a second.“Come on, Jess,” Deborah giggled. “This is my only chance to kill Aiden with annoyance.”“Laurie?” She answered in a hushed tone as if supporting her friend’s idea of killing me.As if it would happen.“Laurie?” Deborah repeated, copying her sound. Unsure.The corners of my mouth lifted as I remembered the pretty girl in class. Laurie was every guy’s dr
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 133 – Hot Seat
(Jessamine’s POV) There were only six people seated at the table, but it was as if it was our last day on earth. If it were only Deborah and me, we would make fun of our situation and say our lives would end because a meteorite would hit the ground, aiming us directly.I was wrong.It was the silence that would kill us all. It was a déjà vu of the dinner last night; no one dared to talk. My eyes flickered on Theodore Knight. He looked calm… but mighty. I may be a dinosaur, but he is a dragon. He breathed fire, and me? I could eat a lot of cupcakes.“I love this,” Teddy said, taking another ham and cheese biscuit stack from the platter. “I heard you made this, Jessamine.” “Y-Yeah.” I cleared my throat and let my trembling lips curve into a smile.He was probably trying to break the ice, but he didn’t see that he was trying to break an iceberg. It would take years or forever before we all calm down. Or maybe it was just me. It was hard to be ourselves when his presence was intimidati
