Chapter 0254
Judys POV You want me to go with you ?? Nan asked , her eyes wide I nodded .
Yes , I told her .
We would only be gone for a few weeks .
And I think it would do us both some good to get away for a bit .
Are you sure ? She asked , worry and fear in her eyes .
I dont want to impose .
I You could never impose , Nan , I assured her .
Plus , I dont want to go alone .
A grin spread across her lips .
I do have a ton of PTO I havent used , she told me .
And its during school vacation so you wont be missing anything , I told her , nudging her gently .
Come on , Nan .
Say yes .
She laughed and then nodded .
Okay , yes ! For the remainder of the night , we talked about everything we had missed these last few days .
It was nice to have my best friend back , and the more we talked and planned for our getaway , the more excited we both became .
I read to her the email that I received about the place where the competition is being held .
Its a tropical location and it looked so nice .
We were staying at a nice resort , completely paid for by the sponsors of the event .
The only thing Nan needed to do was get a plane ticket and a new bathing suit Thankfully , the seat right next to me was available and she was able to book the seat without any issues before the night ended .
Chester hadnt bothered us for the rest of the night , and I couldnt help but wonder if he was okay .
I went to check on him at some point during the night while Nan slept , but he wasnt in the kitchen and one of the night warriors mentioned seeing him leaving not too long after we returned .
I figured he needed some space , so I left him alone for the night .
Nan ended up leaving early in the morning so she could get home and shower before her late morning classes .
I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen only to find Chester and Harper in a heated argument .
How could you choose her over me ? Harper asked through her teeth .
After all weve been through together ? Ive waited for you for long enough … I never asked you to wait for me , Chester said , shaking his head .
I thought you wanted to keep our relationship , and our work separate .
Why are you bothering me in the kitchen ? Because you wont talk to me otherwise , Harper cried .
Is not fair , Chester ! You arent acting fair , Harper , Chester said , turning to face her .
I found my mate .
You were once my friend , Harps .
You should be happy for me .
Im in love with you , Haper said , folding her arms across her chest .
I thought you were feeling something for me too .
But I guess I was wrong .
Η Look , I enjoyed hooking up .
But it cant happen again .
Not while Im trying to figure out what to do about my apter 1254 mate .
Well , you have a bit of time to figure it out , I said , interrupting their conversation .
Harper tensed when I approached and then I sat at the counter , grabbing the coffer that Chester had waiting for me .
What do you mean ? Chester asked , a frown decorating his lips .
I was nominated for the Gamma Competitions , I told him after I took a sip of the coffee .
Im leaving in a week .
Its across the country and Ill be gone for a few weeks .
And what does that have to do with Nan ? Chester asked , His brows pinching together .
Shes coming with me , I answered .
His face paled immediately Shes what ? He asked , nearly shouting .
Why ?? She needed to get away and clear her head , so I suggested she come with me .
She bought her ticket last night .
I could see the struggle in Chesters eyes as he battled with his wolf .
for her own He didnt like the idea of his mate running away to a different country , but I think this would be good for her and soon , Chester will think so too .
Its whats best for the two of them as a pair .
They need to figure out their shit separately before they join together , So , you have time to figure it out , I continued .
Dont worry , Chester .
Ill take care of her .
He looked as if he wanted to argue , but he pressed his mouth in a thin line and nodded .
Deep down , he knew it was for the best .
I had never seen him look so serious before .
It made me chuckle .
I didnt have any classes today , so I went to the Landry Villa a bit early .
I was hoping to be able to speak with Gavin and tell him that I was leaving for the Gamma competition in a week .
A part of me hoped hed want to go with me as well , but there was another part of me that knew that he wouldnt .
Is Gavin here ? I asked the butler , Adam .noveldrama
He shook his head .
He hadnt been here all night , he told me .
I think he spent another night at the office .
My heart fell into my stomach .
Why was he avoiding coming home ? Was it because of me ? Oh , I was going to tell him that Im going to be gone for a few weeks .
Im leaving next week for the gamma competition , I told him .
