Chapter 0252 Judys POV  Things were awkward , to say the least .


    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 nces 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 yboy .


    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 n 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 shed 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 .


    Well , you better make it fast before you lose her forever , told him as I pushed the car door open .


    You already broke her heart .


    Either rip the band aid all the way off or you better start patching her back together .


    I hate seeing  Chapter 0252 her like this , Chester , and I hate that its you thats making her like this .


    Without another word , I left the car .


    I quickly hurried towards the mansion and inside .


    I looked around the vast space in search of Nan .


    She went upstairs , one of the maids answered my unspoken question .


    I smiled gratefully at her and hurried up the stairs and into my room .


    Sure enough , Nan was curled up on my bed , a pillow pressed to her chest and tears streaming down her cheeks .


    How long have you known ? Nan asked without even looking at me .


    I stepped further into the the door behind me .


    room a and closed Known what ? I asked , ying stupid .


    That Chester was my mate , Nan asked , rolling her tear filled eyes .


    You clearly know the truth .


    I sighed and nodded .


    After you left the other day , I told her , biting my lower lip .


    I figured it out because of how Chester was acting .


    She nodded and turned her face to look up at me ; her face was red and blotchy from crying .


    I always wanted to find my mate , I just didnt think he would end up being such a yboy , she murmured I sat down on the bed beside her .


    Chester isnt so bad once you get to know him , I told her , Yeah , he has his moments .


    But hes a really nice guy .


    He went on a date with Becky from my favorite boutique , Nan muttered .


    Thats how I met him the first time .


    I swallowed , remembering that Nan mentioned meeting her mate .


    But she was intoxicated when she told me that and never actually went into details .


    I also remember Nan mentioning going into the city to get a dress for the frat party we went to .


    My stomach twisted .


    She met Chester that night and thats what drove her to drink so much during the party .


    He saw me , and I knew he recognized me as his mate just as I recognized him , she continued, more tears spilling down her cheeks .


    But he still left with her .


    He chose her over me … Im sure it wasnt like that , I said , trying to reason with Her .


    He was probably just in shock , and he also made amitment to someone else that night .


    He most likely didnt want to just leave her .
