Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 394

Chapter 394: 394-My Stepbrother Wants Me To Take Care Of His Kids?
Helanie:

“Is she okay?” I asked, watching Emmet shine light into Jenny’s eyes.

“Is she going to lose the memory of us?” I continued, rubbing my palms anxiously. If I could, I would trade eyes with her.

Lamar and Gavin stood beside Emmet in his office, while Penn was pacing around, hands on his head, looking anxious.

“Is she going to be possessed by the demon of the powder?” The minute those words left my lips, Emmet raised his head and stared at me in silence.

“What? Is she going to?” My breath hitched. Even Jenny started smiling. What was so funny about it?

Emmet then turned to one side, staring at Gavin, who instantly swallowed his laugh and tried to keep his posture straight, then looked to the other side where Lamar was standing. Lamar had the same reaction, but he hid his laugh by biting the inside of his cheek.

“Alright, tell me, which one of you told her that?” Emmet sighed, rolling in his chair. They both pointed at each other.

“Lamar did,” I frowned.

“There is no such thing as that,” Emmet turned to me and shook his head. He looked so serious most of the time, but the minute he looked at me, his eyes would shine so brightly that my heart would start beating loudly.

“Is she okay?” Penn definitely wasn’t part of any jokes. While I gave deadly glares to Lamar, Penn intervened to ask Emmet.

“I know what was put in her eyes,” Emmet said, “but I won’t tell any of you. Let the test pass, and then we’ll see.” We stared at each other in shock. “Trust me, it will be worth the wait.”

Of course, I would trust Emmet in a heartbeat, but Penn couldn’t agree with him, and I understood why. He was concerned about his sister’s health.

“What if it gives her any side effects?” Penn anxiously rubbed his palms, hunching over the table to question Emmet.

“It won’t. However, it will make her act up. So I’ll suggest you guys keep an eye on her during the test,” Emmet claimed, obviously upsetting Penn.

“I can’t let her go out for the test when I know something’s been put in her eyes,” the moment he slammed his fist on the table, we all stepped away because Emmet steadily stretched his neck and then gave him dead-eye contact.

“There’s nothing you can do about this powder. It fades away in a few days. So, either you make a fuss now and delay the test, or let her go out for the test and pass the test,” Emmet’s words were convincing. Even Jenny gently held her brother’s arm to stop him from resisting anymore.

“So the decision is yours,” Emmet said.

“I will go for the test,” Jenny explained, getting up from her seat and making a decision for herself. I could tell Penn wasn’t too satisfied, but as Emmet said, there was nothing we could do, so he had to bow down to the decision.

“Now go ahead and keep training,” Emmet dismissed us, and everyone started leaving. But just as I was about to leave, he said my name softly, “Helanie.”

I stopped and turned around to see him leaned back in his chair, rolling it slightly, watching me with such dreamy eyes that my heart skipped a beat.

“Come have a seat,” he uttered, looking so relaxed. With a gulp, I closed the door again and sat across from him.

While I sat there, I watched him just move his chair and keep staring at me. I suddenly felt so shy under his gaze.

“How good are you with children?”

His question was vague, and I couldn’t understand the reason behind it.

“I used to take care of my—” I instantly shut up when I recalled what I had told them about myself. But it was true that when Vani was little, I used to take care of her. Even when I was only four years older than her, I took care of her like a mother would. Of course, I couldn’t tell him all that since I had told him I left my pack when I was just a kid myself.

“I used to take care of kids of the rogues in the woods,” I made up a lie, and I noticed him closing his eyes and laughing a little.

“Why are you asking?” I asked, feeling curious.

“Just wanted to know. Say, if you have to take care of kids, can you?” My heart was beating so loudly now.

I knew these were normal questions, but somehow, my brain was processing them wrong.

“Will you have my children?”

That’s what I was hearing, even though he wasn’t saying it. I could blame it on my body’s heat, which was rising in the moment.

“Yes,” I replied shortly, taking deep breaths to calm myself down. I guess I needed a shower to get the heat off my mind. I wasn’t even sure how I would react to someone getting intimate with me at this point. My body might even reject the touch, just like it did with the first kiss after that incident.

“Okay, you may leave now,” he softly blinked his eyes and gestured at the door.

“Thank you, sir,” I quickly got up without wasting any time and rushed toward the door when I heard him say something one more time, but this time, his statement was very informative.

“It is pigeon eyes.”

I turned to him and raised my eyebrow.

“They put pigeon eyes in her eyes. You can research it yourself,” he replied, smiling at me, “but I would suggest you don’t tell anyone yet. Let the test pass, play mind games with your enemies, Helanie. Besides, there are only three teams that can win. If one gets disqualified, the others automatically win. Now I hope you’ll use this information wisely,” Emmet said in the most understanding voice.

I swear I could hear him talk for hours and never get bored.
