The Established Siblings Of The Pack

Chapter 100

solemnly. “I’m sure, and for the record, I know you’re a million times stronger and better than Shane!” Her fingers intertwined as she asked cautiously, “You’re not going to say no to being my pretend-boyfriend, are you?”Scratching the back of his head, Kingsley replied hesitantly, “I’m not against it. If this is really what you want, then of course I’ll help you out.”He had been wanting to meet Matt in person anyway. This was the man who had killed his parents, and he would be remiss to turn down Cecilia’s suggestion that they enter a ruse.“That’s great!” Cecilia beamed at once. She clutched his arm and said earnestly, “I owe you one.”“And how do you propose you repay me? Are you going to offer yourself up to me or something?”He was only joking, but she unexpectedly nodded without even stopping to consider this and said, “I can do that.”She looked at him so seriously that he knew he had to put an end to the joke. He cleared his throat awkwardly and reminded himself that this was no time for him to be playing footsie with a girl, even if the girl was a temptress like Cecilia.

He can’t risk being humiliated in front of his in-laws tomorrow, so he wants me to bring my boyfriend home so that he could give him the once-over.”Kingsley couldn’t bring himself to say no when he saw the pleading look she was giving him. Sighing, he said in resignation, “Alright, whatever. It’s not as if I have anything better to do for the rest of the afternoon, anyway. Come on, let’s go get me interrogated.”…The Larsons’ family villa was in an above-average residential community in Cleapolis. There wasn’t much difference between the area and property prices here and those where the Wynns stayed.Cecilia and Kingsley had only just walked into the front
