Chapter 258

The next morning.

Kieran suggested taking Julie out to a restaurant. But Amanda, lounging on the sofa, said, “Why bother going to a restaurant? It’s not like it’ll fall apart without the boss.”

‘There’s a new dish at the restaurant, and I thought Julie might like to try it,” Kieran sat next to Amanda, holding her arm.

Amanda was clearly not pleased. “Just for tasting a new dish? Couldn’t Karl do that?”

“Seems like I’ve turned into a weirdo, wanting you guys around is too much to ask,” Amanda said with a sigh. Kieran had no comeback to that.

“You haven’t been out since you got back. Whispering Pines has changed a lot. How about trying the new dish at the restaurant with Julie and then letting her show you around?”

“I’m not going. I’m not as strong as I used to be, can’t wear myself out. If you’re worried about me bullying Julie, then take her with you!” Amanda turned her back on Kieran, giving Julie a threatening look.

If Julie didn’t say anything now, it would be disrespectful to Amanda.

So Julie stepped forward, smiling at Amanda. “You misunderstood Kieran. He wants me to stay home with you.”

Pulling Kieran out the door, Julie looked back at Amanda. “I’m going to see Kieran off.”

Once they reached the door, Julie said seriously, “It seems Amanda really doesn’t want me to leave. I guess I’ll stay home. If anything comes up, let me know on WhatsApp. I think Amanda will confiscate my phone, but I’ll find a way to contact you on the computer.”

Kieran had no choice but to leave. He needed to figure out Amanda’s true intentions.

Just as Julie was about to watch Kieran leave, a motorcycle suddenly parked between them, startling Julie.

Payne, the rider, took off his helmet, revealing his face.

“Kieran, Julie.” Payne held his helmet, winking at Julie.

Kieran kicked at the motorcycle tire. “Watch where you park next time!”

“Why are you kicking my motorcycle?” Payne quickly got off and patted his tire, looking hurt.

“Your bike?” Kieran looked at the motorcycle, coughed, and murmured, “Isn’t this the one you won during that drinking bet?”
