Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 762

Chapter 762: 762-The Truth Before Us

Helanie:

Last night, I had the best sleep. The steak Kaye made was so good and full of energy that I felt completely full. I finished all of it, then went back to sleep. All I remember is Norman cuddling me. I woke up early when there was a knock on the door. I heard it was Kaye, but I couldn’t focus on it. Norman kissed my forehead before he left the room, while I was still in bed. About fifteen minutes later, I started to wake up too.

I guess the thought of Kaye showing up so early in the morning must have meant something important, and that stuck in my mind. So I got up, took a shower, changed into loose-fitting blue jeans and a white top, and tied my hair in a high bun. Once I stepped out of the room, I looked around to see if I could find the two brothers. I walked over to Maximus’s room, but it was locked, so I decided to check the basement.

Halfway there, I ran into Charlotte on the stairs.

"Hey, Charlotte," I said.

She smiled brightly. "I was just bringing you a glass of milk," she said, holding it up. "You’ve been sleeping a lot. Are you okay?"

That’s when it hit me, not everyone knew I was pregnant. So had Darcy not told anyone? And that reminded me of Lord McQuoid. I was supposed to take care of him. Since I’d be staying home more now because of my condition, I figured I should take care of him myself.

"Oh, yeah. Actually, is breakfast ready?" I asked.

She nodded. "Yeah, everyone’s just coming down now. Do you want to join us?" she asked sweetly.

But there was always this emptiness in her eyes when I looked at her.

"Yeah, sure," I said, walking downstairs with her.

As soon as I stepped into the living room, I saw Lord McQuoid, Darcy, and the other girls, but none of the brothers were there.

"Where are Norman and the others?" I asked Lord McQuoid, ignoring everyone else except Jessica, to whom I gave a small nod.

"I guess they’re in Norman’s office," Lord McQuoid replied. "It’s fine. They always talk about meetings and stuff. You should have breakfast with us."

"Oh, how about I bring them over?" I said. "I want the whole family together. I have an announcement to make."

I felt nervous, but I didn’t want to hide my pregnancy anymore. Darcy already knew, and she was the biggest monster of them all. If she knew, everyone else should too. That way, if anything strange happened, people might remember that Darcy had something to do with it. Even thinking that way, that someone might hurt my child, just showed how scared I was.

"Yeah, that’s a good idea," Lord McQuoid said, thankfully not disagreeing.

I quickly left the living room and made my way to the second floor. From there, I took the elevator, and within seconds I was outside the office door. I knocked gently, and everything inside suddenly went quiet. I had heard strange voices just before that, so I wasn’t sure what was going on.

Maximus opened the door. The moment he saw me, he let out a deep breath, like they had been expecting someone else.

"Guys, it’s just Helanie," he called out.
