Bedding My Vampire Mate-Chapter 553 Amos Came To A Conclusion
Mr Fin ran up to him and held his hand.
"Kay, what is wrong? What happened to you that your men couldn't get a hold of you...," Amos brushed off his hand and tried to stroll away for the second time but Mr Fin grabbed his hand tighter this time around.
"Kayden Greyson, will you stop acting like this and get a grip on yourself?" Mr Fin shouted when he could no longer handle seeing his friend and King this way.
"Finley, I have just confirmed that Joan wasn't lying when she said she no longer loved me," Amos spoke up.
The sadness he once felt for his best friend vanished the instant he heard that the reason he was on the brink of crying was because of Joanna.
"Don't tell me that is the reason you are this way?" Mr Fin questioned coldly.
"She doesn't love me...,"
"Kayden, if not for your identity, do you know that I would have slapped you so hard to get you back to your senses?" Mr Fin retorted.
"Kayden, I know that you love her with your whole heart and being but do you know that she is not the only thing you have to worry about... no in fact this topic right now should be the least of your worries, especially after what I told you on our last phone call earlier," Mr Fin stated.
He let go of Amos' hand and moved to stand in front of him.
"Apart from Joanna, you have this precious Kingdom to worry about and your safety included. Have you forgotten that?" Mr Fin demanded in a stern tone.
"Kayden, pardon me for saying this but there are many things which are more important than love and your feelings. And the sooner you start to set your priorities the better for everyone," Mr Fin chose to be blunt with his words at these moments despite knowing how much Amos must be hurting.
He believed that Kayden needed to hear this notwithstanding how he felt. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Who knows he might be able to wake up his hurting best friend to the harsh reality.
The sooner he wakes up, the better for everyone.
"I know you might say I am talking this way because I haven't been in love or a relationship. I admit you are right about that but this doesn't mean I am blind to see the length you have gone for this particular girl," Mr Fin whispered while staring into his eyes.
"I don't think there is any man out there who is in love with a woman who would do all you have done for her. You have done your best to singlehandedly bring your relationship to where it's now. Everyone who has eyes can see this so there is no need to beat yourself up because things didn't work out as you wanted...," Mr Fin trailed off.
He raised his hand, placed it on Amos' right shoulder and give a gentle squeeze to it.
"Anyone in your shoes would have gotten exhausted and given up long ago but you didn't. You have given you all to make a future with her possible even though everyone in the Kingdom had thought otherwise so why don't you leave things to fate at this junction?" Mr Fin spoke in a calmer tone this time around.
"Fate?" Amos muttered. He finally lifted his gaze and looked into Mr Fin's eyes.
"Yes, fate," Mr Fin replied. He released Amos' shoulders after he confined that he was a lot more stable than earlier.
"Don't forget unlike other mates who located each other after a certain age you and Joanna were prophesied to be mates even before you came into this world...," Mr Fin started in a serious tone.
"This means you both were fated to be together... and if that is the case why don't you let fate take its course?" He asked reluctantly. He didn't look away from Amos' black eyes for even a second.
"From what I know no one can fight fate. None who tried in the past succeeded so I am sure yours won't be different... if she was meant to be yours like it was prophesied nothing will be able to stand in your way of being together," Mr Fin added.
He turned to a relationship expert overnight just to help out his suffering friend.
"I know you are right about this but don't you think I will be making a grave mistake by returning to the palace?" Amos was still hesitant despite all Mr Fin had said to convince him that going back to the palace was the best option.
"Of course not," Mr Fin remarked. He tried hard not to show how happy he was that Amos had the thought of returning to his palace at last.
"Instead, I believe that staying away from her will give her the time to think properly and sort out her feelings... from what I recall you said she needed space right?" Mr Fin didn't forget to nail the bull on the horn.
"Maybe this the perfect opportunity to give her that space she desperately wanted," Mr Fin added.
He watched as Amos paced about the open field in an attempt to come to a decision.
After walking about for close to five minutes, he halted in his tracks and directed his gaze on Mr Fin's face.
"So have you made up your mind?" Mr Fin asked. He shook his hands into his trouser's pockets so Amos won't see how hard he was trembling.
"Yes," Amos asserted, his hands balled into a fist.
By the time Joanna got home she was too sleepy to do anything including taking a bath or making up for her skipped meals.
Because she fell asleep on the couch in the sitting room, she didn't even realize that Audrey slept outside.
In the morning Joanna was awoken by her cellphone's ringing tone.
With sleepy eyes, she stretched forth her hands towards the centre table where she had thrown her phone when she returned the previous night.
She raised herself to a sitting position after she answered the line.
"Hello," she said in a dreamy voice.
"Don't tell me I was the one who woke you up?" A lady's cool voice could be heard at the other end.
