Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 792

Chapter 792: 792-Is My Husband Cheating On Me?

Helanie:

"Um, where are you going?" As I was about to leave the mansion again, I heard Charlotte behind me. I turned to her and forced a smile onto my lips, since we were still not letting her know that we knew her truth. I was just surprised at how long she had kept this from us. How long she had been pretending to be nice, when all this time she wanted to be her same stupid and vindictive self.

"Oh, um, I have some work. Why, is there anything you need to talk about?" I replied, wondering why she had to stop me at the door. It’s not like I had to tell them every time I left the mansion.

"Oh no, I was preparing food for you. I saw you come. Is there any specific demand?" she asked, holding a spatula in her hand, tossing it over her shoulder with her wrist turned and resting her hand on her shoulder.

I stared at her for a few seconds, wondering how to tell her in the nicest way that I wasn’t going to eat anything she cooked for me.

"Oh, I already had food. I’m so full," I said, letting out an awkward laugh, but when she didn’t laugh, I felt so odd. "Come on, Charlotte, you don’t have to do all that for me. And trust me, we had food. Kaye made sure I ate plenty on my way back home." Now that I used a genuine tone, she began to nod.

"Well then, I’ll cook dinner for you." The minute she said that, my body filled with goosebumps. It was as if she knew I was anxious around her, that I wasn’t comfortable eating her food. She must. I mean, I’d been dodging her cooking for a while. Did she really not know? Was she really that innocent?

"We’ll see," was all I said before I rushed out of the mansion.

I got in the car and told the driver to drop me straight at the academy. I needed to confront Norman. If he wanted me to believe he truly wanted me stress-free and not worrying during my pregnancy, he had to tell me what was going on. Otherwise, his words meant nothing.

Once I arrived at the academy, I realized he wasn’t at the hostel. There were stalls everywhere for students coming back from the woods after slaying monsters, either to change into new clothes or to drink and eat. They had also made a big playful board with everyone’s name on it. Below, it showed how many zharns they had slain. Gavin was leading.

I wasn’t surprised. I could tell he hated the zharns more than anyone else, and he had every right to. The fact that he wasn’t even an alpha and was doing so well made me so proud of him. It seemed like he had raised his rank through hard work. But I remembered he wanted to be the warrior for my mates, which meant he wanted to stay a rogue. No rank would ever intrigue him.

"Oh my god, Helanie, you’re back!" Jenny saw me from afar and rushed out of the woods, even skipping. She was still carrying a sword, so I laughed and gestured for her to be careful. I didn’t want her to stab herself by accident.

"Oh, trust me, now we are cutting those zharns like they are vegetables. I don’t know, but it’s so easy. I wonder why they’re not getting a hint? When are they going to send some solid monsters?" she said in a heavy fake tone, trying to be funny. She did make me laugh, though the worry stayed in the back of my mind.

"You seem to be enjoying it a little too much," I told her, and she nodded.

"Why not? Those things have been terrorizing our poor people for so long," she mumbled, nodding her head and giving me a pout.
