Chapter 166

Shawn broke down. He shouted angrily, "Shameless couple! How dare you!"

Felicia's face darkened. Nothing was going on between her and Stephan, but his outburst made it seem like they had some unspeakable relationship.

Felicia glanced at Stephan quickly and was surprised that he wasn't mad about it. She felt a little relieved and was about to find some object to keep Shawn quiet. But just then, she heard a rustling sound behind the bush. Shawn exclaimed, "Help! Help-" He was instantly silenced, spitting and choking as a clump of grass was stuffed into his mouth.

Felicia picked up her flashlight from the ground and shone it in the direction of the noise.

The dense grass parted, and a small figure appeared, calling out cheerfully, "Felicia! It's me!"

Felicia rushed over and inspected him from head to toe. She sighed a sigh of relief when she saw him unharmed and his clothing still clean. She asked, "Lucas, where have you been all afternoon?"
