Echoes of Unrequited Love (Xaviera and Hogan) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 

Yeah, with Hogan’s icecold vibe, no one in their right mind would dare to butt heads 

with him

But would he really kiss Cecilia in front of everyone

Doubts began to creep up from the bottom of my heart. I lifted my eyelids slightly, and my gaze involuntarily landed on a spot diagonally opposite

And, as luck would have it, I locked eyes with him again

Our eyes met, and I felt a tiny quiver in my heart, smoothly averting my gaze without batting an eyelid

When I looked up again, Hogan was gazing tenderly at Cecilia sitting beside him

His eyes were soft as water

Cecilia, with a bashful smile, glanced at Hogan and then quickly looked down

She was the picture of a shy young girl

Kiss her!someone egged them on, Timer’s set for three minutes, start the clock!” 

The atmosphere got rowdier, but amidst the noisy crowd, I felt an inexplicable heaviness in my chest

Must be the booze talking

When Cecilia boldly hopped onto Hogan’s lap, I quietly stood up and slipped away from the crowd

It wasn’t until a gust of cold air hit me in the neck that I snapped back to my senses

I’d seen enough of the show; it was time to get down to business

I pulled out my phone and, sure enough, there was a missed call from Wallis

Figuring there was a new lead on the FreeMan case, I called back immediately

About time you picked up, my god,Wallisvoice was loud and excited, An hour ago, FreeMan posted two pics in the group. I’ve sent them to your phone. Check out the second one, there’s a cufflink in the shot, super unique, rare find. Compare them one by one.” 

After hanging up, I opened my phone and saw the photo with the distinctive mechanical cufflinks

They looked eerily familiar

I rubbed my temples, now a bit fuzzy, trying hard to recall everyone I saw at the party tonight. Lost in thought, I overheard a couple of guys arguing

Dude, I already promised the gal two FreeMan autographs, come on, help a brother out.” 

FreeMan

My heart skipped a beat. I followed the sound

Look at you, acting like you haven’t seen a woman in ages,a crisp voice tinged with annoyance, I’m warning you, three strikes and you’re out, or you’ll have no face left to save.” 

This voice was familiar

It was Timothy’s voice

But what’s his deal with FreeMan

Was I just tipsy and seeing things

Xaviera, what are you doing here?”
