Catherine felt like crying out of embarrassment.
She quickly glanced around after the kiss finally ended, only to realize the others had already gone off t o one side to play a game of dice.
Chase laughed cheekily. "Come on and join us now that you’re done kissing. We've already completed a few games since."
She felt her cheeks flushing once more. "No,” Shaun replied lazily and buried his face into her long hair. " We're heading home."
"Not yet. Freya’s been drinking. I need to give her a ride home."
"Get a taxi.”
She hesitated briefly before refusing. "No, she just had a fight with her boyfriend and I promised to send her home. I can’t ignore her because I’ve got you."
A look of displeasure flashed across his face again. " What do you mean? Am I less important than your friend?"
'Of course, friends are important too.'
Despite that, she kept the thought to herself and
replied in a cutesy voice, "Hey, stop overthinking things. We don’t come out and have fun that often. There's so much more I want to tell you."
Without holding back, she told him everything she learned from Aunty Wendy in the past few days.
The corners of his lips twitched into a cold smile as he understood the big picture now. "It appears my getting injured at the construction site last time wasn't an accident either but a set-up from the Jones family. Well, well, well, how dare they trick me?"
The last person who caused him harm was no longer i n this world. The Jones father-and-daughter duo was too ambitious.
He pulled out his phone to search for Hadley’s number.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Taking care of the Jones father-and-daughter duo."
