Chapter 347

She turned to me and said, “When you see him later, do you intend to say hi?”

That was a strange question. “Why not?” I responded.

She shrugged. “Have you ever considered why they’re all in J City, but they lie to you about being in M Country?”

“Maybe they don’t want me to worry!”

“If that’s the case, what do you think their reaction would be when you appear out of the blue? I have an idea. Would you care to listen?”

“What do you have in mind?”

Stacey sat up straight and faced me. “You’ll see them tonight, but don’t go up to them first. Wait until tomorrow. I’m taking you somewhere to have the whole story sorted, and then we’ll deal with this calmly, alright?”

I was taken aback by what she said. It felt like she had overestimated the seriousness of the matter. I wanted to ask for more information but she silenced me. “Look, there they are!”

I looked in the direction she was pointing and saw two men, both about six feet tall, pushing a stroller as they talked.

There was some distance between us and them. I was a bit short-sighted anyway, so I could not make out exactly who they were but based on their silhouettes I could tell they were Nick and Jackson.
