At this point, I don't know whether to be happy or jealous. He's showing her way too much affection now. Is he doing this on purpose just to make me jealous? Get it together, Evelyn. What are you even thinking? I was never like this. What's happening to me? I began questioning myself.
"Love, that's what. You only get jealous when you see other women around the one you love. It's the natural mate possessiveness. It's already manifesting despite the fact that we haven't even mated with him yet," Tara explained, and I sighed.
I should be happy, not jealous. It's not like they're going to get back together just because Margallo turned a new leaf, right? It's just so ironic that my self-comfort did not help in the least; if anything, it made my fears worse.
"Just calm down, Evelyn. Why are you always so self-contradictory? You encourage yourself one minute and entertain doubts the next chance you get. Kayden is only loyal to you; you should know that by now," Tara opposed.
'I know it's probably foolish of me, but I get anxious knowing that they're still mates. And it's true that anything can happen. I have the most unpredictable fate ever. But I trust Kayden completely, though a little assurance would be uplifting,' I said with a nervous smile.
"You're impossible, you know that?" Tara said, and I sighed. I'm starting to think I've developed a dual personality of some sort. One is this courageous girl that's ready to stand up for herself and do anything for her family, and the other is this scared girl with so many negative emotions and never sees anything good about herself. And I just can't seem to control both my personalities or help myself.
"I'm just glad that I can finally set everything right. I know that we're not meant for each other. You love Evelyn, and I have to find my own destiny, so the plausible thing would be a rejection," Margallo said, the tone of her voice depleting at the last part of the sentence. And I found myself feeling guilty. I've been rejected. I know exactly how it feels, and it's something I wouldn't even wish upon my worst enemy. So isn't it selfish that I wish for Kayden to reject Margallo just so we can be together?
"A mutual separation, not a rejection," Kayden corrected, and Margallo smiled.
