As Williain had some very important matters to attend to, he flew back to Redwood the day after our engagement party
He had originally wanted me to go with him to help create romantic headlines about hove reluctant we were to part. But that platt fell apart when Grandma somehow found out about the scene Mom had made at the engagement party
She learned that Moin had slandered me publicly and tried to min the good match I had made for myself. Because of this. Grandma was furious, and her blood pressure had skyrocketed dangerously. Our family doctor was so alamed that he called me nonstop.
I didn’t feel at ease leaving her like that. So, instead of going to Redwood with William, I stayed behind to take care of Grandma. The day after William left, Irvin came to see me. He said he had something he wanted to discuss with me. Since I had been meaning to talk to him anyway, I got dressed and went downstairs
I spotted Irvin standing at the entrance of my villa compound as soon as I stepped outside the main house
We had just seen each other two days ago at my engagement party. But for some inexplicable reason, right now, he felt like a stranger.
It was hard to explain what I was feeling. All I could say was I felt as though the man standing in front of me wasn’t Irvin. And yet, he was. Be it his posture or the way he carried himself, everything about him screamed Irvin.
Isquashed down the uneasy feeling in my gut and walked toward him. But the closer I got, the harder it became to suppress that feeling.
“Emi…” he called.
His voice was undeniably Irvin’s. He even had the same scar on his wrist.
All of that made me question if there was something wrong with me. It had to be why I felt something strange about the Irvin before me and even thought he wasn’t him.
