Chapter 208-Hard To Resist
Jenny:
"He had promised me not to tell anyone. Gavin said if I did, Lucy would break up with him. So when Lucy cheated on him, he told me I still shouldn’t say anything because their relationship was already hanging by a thread. He claimed he’d just move on and win her heart again. I didn’t want to be the reason they fell apart. But then he rejected her, and the guilt started to drown me. I felt like maybe I should have told her earlier. I was under the illusion they’d eventually work things out," I said, pouring my heart out to Lamar for what must’ve been half an hour.
Lamar was such a good listener. He didn’t judge me, not even once. He didn’t flinch at my words or make me feel worse.
My brother had left when he noticed how uncomfortable I was talking about all this with him around. I had asked him to find Rayden and make sure he didn’t come looking for me. Penn understood and left, leaving Lamar and me alone in the cabin.
"You know it wasn’t your fault, right?" Lamar said, tilting his head slightly.
"I don’t know," I murmured, lowering my head even further under the weight of my guilt.
"Jenny, are you afraid of how Rayden will react?" Lamar asked softly. I lifted my head and shook it silently.
"I don’t care about him," I replied with a grunt, rolling my eyes. "I bet he cheated on me long before I did. Probably more times than I can count."
Lamar leaned forward, his attention locked on me, his focus unwavering. It made him seem even more attractive. Confident, sure of himself, yet patient and kind. There was something magnetic about him; his presence always had me sneaking glances.
