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.”

“No worries, then we’ll wait for next holiday” Elise didn’t suspect and said with a beaming smile, “Actually, my husband wanted to come over and see Jocelyn too, but something came up at work last minute and he couldn’t make it. He told me that just by looking at you, he can tell you’re a sweet and sensible girl. Harrison is lucky to meet you”

Jocelyn felt a mix of embarrassment and guilt, not daring to look up.

Harrison knew Jocelyn was feeling uncomfortable, but he wasn’t in a position to say anything.

‘People say it takes five hundred glances in a past life to earn a simple brush past in this one. Harrison and Jocelyn must have a destiny that ties them together, Daisy chimed in cheerfully

Both sets of parents were very pleased with the other, but the two in question couldn’t muster much enthusiasm.

Jocelyn sweated through the meal and excused herself to the restroom outside.

Once outside, she didn’t want to go back in. The joy in her parents’ eyes was something she couldn’t bear to shatter

She regretted agreeing to Harrison yesterday and didn’t know how heartbroken her parents would be once the lie was exposed

One lie needs countless others to weave it. Once started, it’s impossible to stop.

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.
