Chapter 257 Knox

• I was headed into the packhouse to my office when I saw Jake coming out of his office, crossing to the kitchen, likely for a coffee, and going off the look on his face he needed it. He looked fucking awful! I hadn’t seen him a few days, I knew that, but I had been busy helping Lilah look after Cleo who had been unwell, so we had been taking it in turns looking after her and both staying home. Plus, I had been giving Jake some space after he had been a little sharp with me after I said Rose didn't seem to care about him.
• No, maybe it wasn't the kindest thing to say, and maybe I should have held back, but it had slipped out before I had a chance to stop myself. The way he had responded told me he was either pissed off, hurt, or a combination of the two. And I have known him long enough to back off and give him space. I can't help my mouth sometimes. I say what I am thinking and it pisses my friends off. I easily offend people, but this is my friend, he is like a brother to me and I swear the way this girl is treating him seems unnatural to me. When Lilah told me what happened, it bugged the shit out of me. You don't walk out on someone in the middle of a coffee date and not say goodbye.
• Yeah, I get she was called away for a business emergency like he explained, which meant she had to leave the country early. That I can understand now she has explained that to him. But it is the part where she didn't tell him she was leaving, nor say goodbye. Knowing that he is her mate, knowing she is flying off to the other side of the world, not knowing when she will see him again, and my gut instinct here is questioning if she would even see him again. It does not seem right. I don't think she wants him. No, I haven't met her, or seen her with him, but from all I have heard, I don't think she wants him.
