Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 72 A Pleasing Choice

I shot the police officer a perplexed look. My goodness! Who would have thought that they would question me about this? Could it be they suspect me of being involved in something illegal just because a large sum of money was transferred into my account out of a sudden?

I was about to explain that to him, yet Benjamin held me down abruptly to stop me. He then explained to the police officer the entire situation on my behalf.

After that, the police officer asked me some other questions. I was allowed to leave after a while.

Even so, the police officer mentioned that they might still need my co-operation on the investigation for the matter. Thus, I might receive calls from them to attend other rounds of interrogations. Other than that, they reminded me to keep them updated once I have any clue on Julius’ whereabouts.

Furthermore, my bank card was frozen temporarily. It only struck me then that something must have happened to Julius. There must be something wrong with the money he transferred to me!

I checked with Benjamin helplessly, yet he sounded relaxed. He eased my anxiety by asking me to stay at home and wait for the latest update. As for my bank card, the bank would automatically unfreeze it once the truth was revealed.

I had no idea how long the investigation would take. At that moment, I only had about a few hundred in cash. To my relief, I paid my rental quarterly. Thus, I estimated that my current funds should be sufficient for my daily meals for quite some time.

Julius is indeed a self-centered and manipulative man! He has the heart to put me in a tight spot under such circumstances! Damn it!

Since I had a tight budget, I made up my mind to prepare my meals from now on. After all, it was a lot more cost-saving than ordering food delivery.

I only prepared a simple dish which was just enough for myself.

Unexpectedly, Dominic dropped by. I let out a deep silent sigh. What now? It seems there’s no way to shrug him off but to entertain him today!

Making himself at home, he strode into my house, closed the door, and sat on my couch.

“Come over here.” He waved at me and patted the seat next to him.
