Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 658

Chapter 658: 658-The Demanding Mate

Helanie:

"Lord McQuoid, you still love tofu so much?" Azura said, smiling at Lord McQuoid, who had filled his plate with grilled tofu skewers. After Emmet gave me an option, he left to bring Azura for dinner.

"You remember that?" Lord McQuoid looked so amazed. She had been very talkative with him and others too. She even knew my mother, but my mother barely spoke with her.

Emmet sat in the seat next to hers, while I was right across the table from him.

"When are you two getting married?" she asked my mother, who shrugged.

"Actually, they can only date now. Because her daughter has married Lord McQuoid’s son," Emma jumped in to tell her I had ruined my mother’s happily ever after.

Azura looked shocked for a moment and then looked at me, her finger pointing at me and then back at my mother.

"She is your daughter?" she asked, looking very confused.

"Yeah, she is my daughter," my mother spoke up for the first time in the last few minutes. She looked so proud when admitting I was her daughter. She hadn’t done that before. Even Emma did a double take at my mother because she had been reminding me nonstop how I am not a good daughter to my mother.

"Yeah, sadly. I’m not saying Helanie is a bad daughter or anything. But sometimes some kids are born with too much burden," Emma muttered under her breath, and I noticed my mates straightening their backs at her.

"My daughter is the best. Even when I wasn’t with her, she grew up to be a perfect woman. The fact that she is the Alpha Queen of the North should tell you how amazing she is," my mother responded, shocking me once again.

I didn’t understand her sometimes. In the beginning, she acted like she hated me, and then slowly, over time, she changed her behavior toward me. I failed to understand her completely.

"Oh, that is amazing. I feel like I have missed a whole world," Azura let out a little laugh, but her eyes betrayed the smile on her lips. She had tears in her eyes.

"So what are you going to do now? I mean, you previously told us you had no home," Charlotte asked, making Azura look down and sigh.

"I don’t know," she replied before Lord McQuoid gave a hand gesture to Charlotte, politely telling her not to ask Azura any more questions.

The dinner went by in silence afterward, and soon everyone was off to their bedrooms. Everyone except me, Norman, and Maximus.

"That’s crazy. He is kind of forcing her to listen to him," Maximus complained to Norman, who looked extremely uncomfortable when he found out what terms Emmet had laid out.
