Chapter 95
Chapter 95 Caden’s POV I have my work cut out for me. How do I make my mate fall in love with me in just two weeks? Today, she showed up at breakfast after only eating in her room for days. I’m taking it as a sign that’s she ready to start socializing with humans again. I’m also taking it as a sign to start my courting. Two weeks. She gave me two weeks to change her mind about rejecting me I’m losing my mind here. I’ve been thinking about the best thing I can do to convince her that I’m serious about changing but no matter how hard I think, I keep coming up with nothing. “F u c k!” I yell, not realizing that I said it out loud until Alex approaches tentatively and with concern in his eyes. “Is everything alright there?” He asks, narrowing his eyes at me when I answer his question with a groan. “Is it something that I can help you with?” I groan again but then stop short, thinking his words over. Alex is the only person in my close friend group who is happily mated and shackled with the baby. I almost slap myself on the forehead as an idea comes to mind. I can’t believe that I didn’t think of this sooner. Who better to ask for advice than someone who has gone through what I’m going through right now? Alex and Scarlett didn’t always see eye to eye. In fact, there was a time when I was sure that they would rather reject each other than even come within a hair length of the other. Yet, fast forward to two years later and I’m fighting to get Alex off her so he can do his duties. He’s perfect for what I need. “How did you get Scarlett to fall in love with you?” I ask and he stares blankly at me. I start second- guessing myself. Is it a good choice to ask Alex of all people for love advice? I mean, his mate had a knife pressed against his neck before and threatened to make him bleed to his death. I sigh, already regretting any decision, and sigh again when I hear footsteps approaching us. Great, Raphael has come to join in on the fun. 1
“Forget about what I asked,” I rush out but of course, Raphael catches it. “What should Alex be forgetting about?” He stands beside us and throws questioning glances at the both of us. “Why do you guys always exclude me? I’m starting to get jealous,” he pouts. I pin Alex with a death glare, indirectly relaying to him that he better keep his trap shut. If Raphael finds out about what I asked Alex, it will be the end of me. He will never let me hear the end of it and I can’t spend all my life avoiding him. I mean, the idiot stays in the same house with me and sits beside me when we eat. 1 Chapter 95 I forget that this is Alex that I’m referring to. The ba s t r d isn’t scared of anyone. He starts singing. He turns to Raphael, shock still written on his face, “Caden just asked me about how to make Alessia fall in love with him.” Raphael and I both let out a gasp of surprise. That b a t a r d twisted my words. That isn’t what I said but I guess it’s pretend obvious to figure out what I really asking when I phrased the question in such a way. “Why is he trying to make Alessia fall in love with him?” Raphael asks and Alex shrugs before turning to face me with a knowing look in his eyes. “You screwed up didn’t you?” He asks dryly and I answer the question with a groan, back to my no- word answers. Raphael turns to me. “Here’s what you will want to do. First, you will have to take her on a date, wine and dine her, and then when her defenses are down, you attack.” He smiles proudly and Alex and I exchange confused gazes with each other. Though I have to admit that not everything that Raphael said was cra p. Taking her on a date isn’t such a bad idea. I could take her to the new restaurant that opened in town and we could have a romantic dinner together. The more I think about it, the more it sounds like a fantastic idea. Dinner is. “Here are a few things that you will want to avoid,” Raphael says and I turn my focus back on himContent © NôvelDrama.Org.
which I instantly regret. “Don’t tell her that her dress doesn’t match her complexion and don’t ever think of saying that she looks fat in what she has on.” He shudders as if he just remembered something. ↑ Again, Alex and I exchange confused glances with each other. I know it isn’t wise but I find myself asking the question on both our minds. “Why would I do something like that in the first place?” I wait for my answer and I’m not exactly surprised when Raphael blinks up at me dumbly. “What if she asks how she looks in her dress?” “You lie?” Isn’t that a universal rule in the dating handbook? Rule number one on the first page- never tell a woman that she’s fat to her face. “How was I supposed to know that? She did look fat so I told her the truth,” he states matter of fact. Alex and I whine, scrunching our faces up, both of us able to imagine what happened after that encounter. No wonder he has a haunted look in his eyes. 2/3
I shake my head, pushing Raphael’s idiotic ways to the back of my head. My main focus should be on Alessia and our pending date. I just have to look for a way to ask her out and have her agree to go. I have my work cut out for me.
