Hello 391

Chapter 391

Jace's face was cold, like way colder than I'd ever seen it.

"Huh?" The guy next to him blinked at me, totally confused. "Mistaken? No way, your fiancée is gorgeous, how could I—"

"My fiancée's at home with my parents," Jace cut in, already walking off, his legs moving like he couldn't get away fast enough.

"What? But..." The guy's eyes darted between me and Jace, completely thrown. "They look so alike... practically the same person."

I stood there, frozen. He didn't lie to embarrass me, which, honestly, I didn't see coming.

Jace, of all people, could've called me out and made this painfully awkward for Hayden and me. But he didn't.

Even when he walked past, he acted like I wasn't even there-like he didn't recognize me.

This version of Jace? He wasn't the guy I used to know. No more fiery temper over dumb stuff. Now he could just walk by, emotionless, like I was a total stranger.

He's over me....right?
