The Woman From Hell

Chapter 262

When Jerome noticed the shift in my gaze, he hurriedly said, "Don't listen to Cecilia, nothing is going on between us. We're just friends, aren't we?"

Then, he glared at Xander.

"Yes, just friends!" Xander’s eyes were the only part of his face that could be seen, and they seemed less bright than usual as the light in them dimmed.

At the end of the day, these were their private matters. I smiled and changed the topic, saying to Jerome," You came at just the right time. I might be heading to Whaldorf City tonight and won’t be able to accompany you any longer. Help me take care of Cecilia these few days if you're not going to leave yet."

"Holy sh*t, how dare you! You made me come back here, and you're running off now? Then what am I supposed to stay here for?!" Jerome's reaction was a little over the top as he stared at me.

I massaged my temples and said apologetically, "I’m s o sorry about all of this. It all happened all of a sudden."

When I asked him to return, I had not expected Theo t o want to set out to Whaldorf City so soon.
