Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 650

Chapter 650: 650-Having Issues With My Mate

Helanie:

"You told me about a well that will help you heal," I said, slightly concerned by the way he was staring at me with a blank look on his face.

"I don’t understand," he shook his head. "I mentioned a well?" He then looked rather unsettled.

"You don’t remember?" I asked, and he kept looking down, as if he was genuinely trying hard to either remember or figure out why he had told me about the well.

"No," he replied, half absentmindedly.

"Do you know any well you could be talking about?" I asked, and noticed him taking a deep breath. He must have forgotten about the well. It’s not like he doesn’t forget, his memory was still a problem because the curse hadn’t been fully broken.

"Anyway, do you know Sage?" I asked, trying to act casual about his answer.

"Sage Milan? Is this a test? If I remember, are you going to get mad at me?" He sounded so cute, looking genuinely worried after remembering her.

"No, that’s not why I asked. I actually saw her with your mother the other day. I’m not saying your mother shouldn’t hang out with other people, that’s fine. But Sage, the one who has a crush on you—" I shut up when I saw him snap his head up and stare at my face.

"Who told you that?" he asked, and I started chopping the vegetables.

"I heard people talking about it," I said quietly.

"She’s told me how she feels a few times, and I’ve told her every time that I’m not into her. There’s nothing going on between us. And even if my mother is planning something with her, she’s going to be disappointed," he replied firmly, making me chop the vegetables more roughly.

"So she has told you how she feels," I didn’t say it out loud, just kept chopping the vegetables until I suddenly felt the urge to argue with him. "Does she not know that even when you forget everyone, you still only remember your lost love?" I instantly bit my tongue and froze, watching his face with wide eyes after realizing I had messed up.

"Right," he said, nodding slowly.

"I didn’t mean to," I felt so guilty for my outburst. Even though I didn’t raise my voice, my words were harsh.

"No, it’s okay. You have every right to be upset. I did mess up. As for Sage, she doesn’t need to know anything. She’s not important. The one who is important is giving me attitude," he mumbled. "Helanie, I want to know, when did you get so comfortable showing me that it bothers you when someone flirts with me or tries to get close to me? I remember before I was in the cage and the whole mate-eclipse thing, you didn’t want to be with me. Was it because you didn’t want to hurt my brother, or what?"
