Capítulo 283: Chapter 283 R + J - 7

••• Jaxon’s POV •••

I kept glancing at Rosa from the corner of my eyes throughout the meeting.

I wanted to speak to her.

I wanted to feel her in my arms, which I did the moment I laid my eyes on her.

I wanted us to be the same way we were before, with all our bantering and me teasing her.

Would it be impossible to do anymore?

I had tried to reject Lillian, but who would’ve thought it nearly caused my death?!

For that, I resented the matebond.

To make matters worse, even if I hated my matebond, I still felt attracted to Lillian and couldn’t stop being gentle with her.

I even cursed myself and Rhun for pulling the chair for Lillian to sit on.

Even though Rosa acted distant and polite, I could still see the hurt flashing through her eyes when I was gentle to Lillian.

Now I knew how Max felt when he wanted Ari to show her vulnerabilities and depend on him.
