Chapter 224

However, the next morning, when he groggily opened his eyes, he was startled to find himself lying next to Kate, both of them stark naked! In that moment, it felt like his whole world had come crashing down. How could it be Kate? Last night, it had definitely been Allison.

Overwhelmed with anger and embarrassment, he snapped at Kate. But instead of getting upset, Kate gazed at him with tear-filled eyes, her lips trembling as she cried pitifully.

"Shawn, if you like someone like Allison, I can be her. Didn't you say I look a bit like her? I can copy her style, her makeup, her hair-anything you want, just please don't send me away."

As the events of the previous night replayed in his mind, he hesitated. Last night, Kate really did resemble Allison!

Sensing his silence, Kate gently shook his hand, her voice soft and sweet, "Shawn, you enjoyed yourself last night, didn't you?"

"Please, let me stay with you. I'm willing to be Allison's stand-in," Kate pleaded, her voice barely above a whisper.
