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.

I composed myself and drove off.

Life after returning home was pretty chill. I either visited Oscar in the hospital or hung out with Leila and Quincy at Stella Wallace’s place.

“Definitely.” I had this plan all along. If I treat Oscar as my brother, I should take care of him like a brother.

Raymon Homes CEO was named Raymon. We agreed to meet at Blissful Brews.

Upon reaching the cafe, I made a call first.

Raymon happily said, “Great, come on in. I have a business partner here. We can all chat together”
