Chapter 70

*Jocelyn, school’s about to start in a few days for you guys, right? Wanna come hang out at our place for a bit? Elise asked her warmily and kindly

Jocelyn quickly declined. Thanks for the offer, but the school sent a notice saying we should stay in town, ready to head back to school at any moment.”

Jocelyn leaned against the wall in the corridor, in an intense mood since the night before.

She just hoped that once Harrison and his family left, the immediate crisis would be averted.

“Why are you hiding out here? Harrison came looking for her and saw her troubled face.

Jocelyn gave him a half-hearted smile, “Just can’t seem to get a word in.”

Harrison stood beside her, “Am I causing you trouble?

Jocelyn smiled faintly, looking down.
