Alpha Hayleyโs Destined Mate
Chapter 218: Everyone Suggests Me To Pick Benjamin
Hayleyโs POV:
I had never once thought about asking Benjamin to pretend to be my boyfriend. I didnโt know why, but it just didnโt feel right. Immediately, I told Hera to keep quiet.
As I stepped out of the villa, Thomas quickly approached. โAlpha, when did you pick your mate? How come I didnโt know about it?โ I quickly covered his mouth, signaling him to stop talking. Thomas immediately understood. He quickly removed my hand from his mouth and asked, โAre youโฆ?โ
Before he could finish, I gave him a warning glance. He nodded repeatedly. โI understand, Alpha. Letโs just head back, shall we?โ
Thomas drove me home, and on the way he asked, โAlpha, are you looking for someone to pretend to be your boyfriend?โ The mention of it made me slightly irritated, and I just muttered a brief grunt. Thomas quickly added, โWhoโs lucky enough to have caught your eye?โ
I bit my lip and asked, โWhat do you think of Christopher?โ When Thomas heard the name, he looked surprised. โIs that really your type?โ
I replied, โHeโs a good option, but Iโm not sure how to approach him about it.โ Thomas shook his head. โI donโt think Christopher is the right choice. Youโre looking for someone to pretend to be your chosen mate, right? I think someone like Benjamin might be a better fit,โ Thomas said, echoing Heraโs advice to me to choose Benjamin.
When I heard Benjaminโs name, I immediately rejected the idea. โIโd rather not go there.โ Thomas was confused. โBut heโs the Alpha of the Midnight Pack. With his reputation in business, he could definitely win your godfatherโs approval.โ He continued, โPlus, I think only someone like Benjamin would truly be a match for you.โ
I cleared my throat. โForget it. Christopher is the better choice.โ At least with Christopher, I could treat him as a friend. But with Benjamin, I couldnโt completely see him as just a friend.
โAlright, youโre the boss. Do you want to go find Christopher now?โ Thomas asked.
Looking at the time, I said, โIโll give him a call first to see if heโs free tonight.โ I took out my phone and dialed Christopherโs number.
Meanwhile, Christopher was wrapped up tightly in layers. He was walking through the hospital lobby. He took the elevator up to the ward, where Caesar was waiting. โChristopher, what are you doing here? Didnโt I tell you I could handle it?โ
Christopher frowned. โI couldnโt just leave it. How is she? Is she okay?โ
Caesar replied, โSheโs fine. Itโs just a mild concussion. A few days of rest, and sheโll be alright.โ
Christopher sighed in relief. โIโll go check on her and apologize while Iโm at it.โ With that, Christopher pushed open the door to the hospital room.
Christineโs POV:
I was lying in bed, completely bored, watching a show featuring my celebrity crush, Christopher. My hubby looks so handsome! I sighed while watching him on screen.
Just then, the door to my room opened, and a man, fully bundled up, walked in. I was startled, almost jumping out of bed. I nearly gave in to my feelings and let him in. โWho are you?โ I demanded firmly.
He removed his mask, revealing a gorgeous face that could make any woman jealous. For a moment, I thought I must have been seeing things. I quickly gasped, โHubby, what are you doing here?โ As soon as the words left my mouth, I covered my mouth in shock. Great, I had called him โhubbyโ without thinking. Normally, I would say it casually, but nowโฆ he was right in front of me!
