Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 123 Another Coincidence

I felt it was a familiar voice. As I turned my head, I saw Royce, who had just gotten out of his car. He was just a few steps behind us.

I had no idea what he was talking about, and I could barely care. Nevertheless, it was such a coincidence to run into him again.

When we were departing in the morning, Shannon asked me to invite Royce, but I rejected. Who would have thought he would be here?

As I was still hesitating how to reply to him, Shannon had opened her mouth.

“We’re invited by our friends, the one who asked us out last time. Mr. Horton, if you are not busy tonight, you can come over and have fun with us.”

I immediately cut Shannon a glare. How could you invite others if you have not figured out the situation?

With that, Royce flashed back a courteous smile. “Sure, I’ll stop by if I have time.”

Upon hearing that, Shannon’s grin grew wider. She pointed at me and told Royce to find me if he arrived later.

I was rendered speechless by her gesture, as I knew what she was planning. It looked like she had forgotten what I told her in the morning.

At that moment, my mind was trying hard to find an excuse to leave with her. But before I could open my mouth, Royce answered a call and left abruptly after that.

As soon as Royce left the scene, I started observing Shannon’s expression closely. I suspected if she was the one who invited Royce over secretly.

Noticing my suspicious expression, she immediately shook her head innocently.

“Don’t look at me like that. I didn’t invite him.”
