Chapter 415
Judy's POV
Nan walked back into the room with a dazed expression, and I narrowed my eyes.
I knew she wanted to spy on Chester and Harper to find out what they were saying to one another. But the look she had on her face was a mix of fear, pain, and maybe a bit of happiness. I couldn't really tell what was going on through her mind and before I could ask, Harper walked down the hallway with her things in her hands.
She paused once she noticed us all staring at her and her cheeks flushed red. She stared at the ground for a moment, nibbling on her lower lip before glancing up at me.
"I'll be seeing you," she said simply. "I'm sorry for causing such a scene."
I wasn't sure what to say in return, so I only nodded and watched as she left the mansion. A few minutes later, Chester returned to the living room as well. He ran his fingers through his blonde disheveled hair and gave me a small smile.
"It's been dealt with," he told me honestly. "She won't cause any problems anymore."
I nodded my thanks to him, my eyes fixed on Nan's face. Chester also noticed her expression and a worried crease formed between his brows.
"Are you okay?" Chester asked her, his eyes narrowed.
Nan bit her lip and nodded, though her face gave her away. She wasn't okay; she saw or overheard something that unsettled her. Chester didn't look as if he bought it either, but when he glanced over at us, he realized this wasn't something Nan wanted to share in front of him and that he should leave.
"Okay, well, I'm going to head to bed then," he murmured. "It's pretty late."
We all nodded and said our goodnights as Chester disappeared down the hallway. The sound of his door opening and clicking shut sounded through the room. Nan's body finally relaxed a bit, but she still looked tense as she lowered herself on the couch next to me.
"Nan?" I asked, my brows raised as I studied her face. "What happened? What did you hear?"
Nan was still processing her words, but she managed to speak so softly that I had to strain to hear her.
"He's in love with me..." she whispered. "He's actually in love with me."noveldrama
"What?" I gasped, glancing at Sammy who was also looking shocked.
"I overheard him telling her that he loves me and that he chooses me..." she whispered.
"That's huge," Sammy breathed. "Do you feel the same way about him?"
"It's too soon to tell," she said, shaking her head. "I don't know how I feel yet."
"And that's okay," I told her,
wrapping an arm around her
shoulders. "You don't have to know how to feel just yet. Take your timè. I doubt Chester is going anywhere. I mean, he confessed to loving you. He'll wait for you. He's your mate after all."
"When did our lives get so messy?" Nan whispered as she placed her head on my shoulder.
I let out a soft chuckle.
"I have no idea," I admitted.
"I vote that we get our minds off stupid boys and just enjoy girls' night," Sammy
suggested, lifting her glass of wine with a bright and hopeful smile.
I smiled in return, grabbing my wine just as Nan grabbed hers. We lifted our
glasses in the air and cheered before taking long and steady sips of our drinks.
"To girl's night!"

I walked towards Judy, brushing a strand of hair from her face. She was wearing her hair in a messy bun and had a long T-shirt on that covered most of her body, down to her upper knees.
She stirred lightly from my touch and when her eyes fluttered open, they widened upon seeing me. She sat up slowly, her eyes narrowed.
"Gavin?" She whispered, glancing around at the other two to make sure they were still asleep. "What are you doing here?"
