Chapter 213 Thinking of the past, Taya couldn’t help but tear up. She was afraid that Jackson would see, so she quickly lowered her head, took the tea he handed over, and sipped it. Jackson smiled. This time, not only did she not refuse him, but she also drank the tea obediently. Did it mean that she didn’t ha te him so much? He looked at her quietly, his eyes never leaving her, as if he was looking at his beloved. As he kept watching, he gradually became more entranced by her. It was not until she finished drinking that he reluctantly looked away and picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of her mo uth. No matter how dim the light was, everyone present could see the deep affection in their Alpha’s eyes. They thought that Ms. Palmer was just someone who had helped with the Weston City project bidding. But it appeared
the frail human woman meant much more than that to their
leader.
When some of the Sterling pack members saw their Alpha’s actions, they couldn’t help but take out their phones and quietly take photos of the two of them. Taye felt a little uncomfortable with Jackson’s actions. She wanted to push him away, but with so many eyes watching, it would embarrass him. Alphas were not rebuffed in public, and she didn’t want to risk him losing face with his pack or risk him
becoming upset with her. Jackson’s smile deepened and his wolf preened inside of him when Taya didn’t reject him. He lowered his head and asked her gently, “Have you seen my brother before?” He felt that Taya’s resistance to him must have something to do with his brother, and he wanted to ask her directly about it to get to the bottom of the situation. Taya frowned. “You have a brother?” Jackson nodded. “Yes, his name is Michael Sterling. He used to be the Alpha of the Sterling pack. You’re sure you don’t know who he is?”
Taya shook her head. She had never paid attention to any news related to the Sterling pack. How could she know
Michael? It was Jackson’s turn to frown. Since Taya didn’t know who his brother was, it meant that Michael had never looked for her.
But there was another possibility: his brother had used Jackson’s name to deal with Taya. Thinking of this, Jackson hurriedly asked her, “Did I do anything bad to you five years ago?” Taya thought he was testing her again, so she was disgusted and replied impatiently, “No.” She answered decisively, without hesitation, which caused Jackson to pause in surprise. If his brother hadn’t gone to find Taya in his name, it could only mean…
She just didn’t love him anymore. When Jackson thought of this possibility, his heart ached. And this was just under the circumstance of him having lost
his memory. What would happen if he were to recover it?
Taya didn’t notice anything wrong with Jackson. She stood up and said, “I’m going to the bathroom.” She saw that Jackson was lost in thought, so she walked out of the banquet hall without waiting for his
response. The bathroom was huge and luxurious. Taya looked at herself in the mirror. She wore beautiful and heavy makeup, making her look even more similar to Tara. She hated to see herself like this, so she quickly looked away and walked into a stall. When she came out to wash her hands, the bathroom door was suddenly closed with a loud bang, followed by the click of the lock. Taya sensed that something was wrong, and she quickly turned around. Roman was there, sitting in a wheelchair. He was wearing a patient gown and a face mask, with his hands hanging limp on the armrests of the wheelchair. His eyes were dark and malicious, staring at her fixedly.
