Chapter 168

I made a U–turn at an intersection, trying to catch up with Kate for a clearer look, but she was nowhere to be found.

I felt a tinge of disappointment, but quickly shrugged it off–after all, I had no intention to get tangled up with them again, so there was no reason to be disappointed.
