Chapter 154 Sad Memories

My eyes immediately lit up when I saw that the caller was none other than Jake. Wow! Speak of the devil!

Nicholas grabbed his phone and walked away to answer it, leaving me to savor the cake on my own.

Just then, my phone also started ringing with WhatsApp notifications.

To my surprise, it was Dominic checking on me with a text: Where are you?

It was a simple question, yet I was completely stumped.

Should I say I’m home? But what if Dominic happens to be home, too?

Even though Dominic did say he would not be home that night, there was always the nagging feeling that he might have other tricks up his sleeves.

After what seemed like an eternity, I finally replied: I’m out shopping; I’ll go to the supermarket later. Are you home?

Dominic wasted no time with his reply: Head straight home once you’re done and don’t wander around. Just because I’m not with you doesn’t mean you can do whatever you like.

The more I read Dominic’s text, the more I rolled my eyes. Why does he always tell me not to wander around? Do I seriously worry him that much?

Annoyed, I texted back a curt response: Okay, fine.

Dominic did not reply after, but at least with his texts, I could now confirm that he wasn’t home.

That said, I could not deny how weird it was that Dominic had chosen to text me via WhatsApp instead of calling me like he usually did. Am I overthinking it? Or is there something amiss?

Nicholas had also ended his call and returned to the living room. “Well? What did your dear Jake say to you?” I smirked.

“What else but the same old things?” Nicholas said with a sigh. “Jake’s becoming such a nag, and that’s why I didn’t tell him that I was sick. If I did, it’d only send him into a complete state of panic.”
