Chapter 249

Jennifer and Keith were both dumbstruck by Joaquin's sudden confession. They stared at him unblinkingly as they tried to digest this bombshell.

"W-What?!" After a long while, Keith stammered, his face filled with disbelief.

Joaquin is such a nice guy. He wouldn't do something so horrible. No way, he's not that jerk! Is this a joke to you? It's not funny, okay? Don't make such a lousy joke!"
