Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer by Diana Tenny novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162

After receiving that call, Simon ended the golf session early and invited Dariel

and Seth to have a fun time at the beach. It was unusual for him to arrange a

gathering since he wasn’t fond of them.

Dariel teased, “I know you don’t have to marry Lara, but do you have to throw

a celebration?”

Simon jokingly cursed his friend and drove the car with one hand. “Shut it. Get

Seth to join us. Someone asked for my help, and I have to see it through.”

Curious, Dariel asked for details. Simon remained tight-lipped and said

Resigned, Simon shrugged. “I’m not the main character today. Don’t keep

your eyes on me.”

“You’re not the main guy here?” Kate, lying in Harold’s embrace, sweetly

asked, “Then who is? Who managed to gather all of us?”

Just then, the roar of a supercar came from the road. The car skidded to a

halt, and the noise subsided. Everyone turned their gaze in that direction. A

wooden bridge connected the road to the beach. The newcomer slowly

walked past the bushes and into their view. He wore a black jacket that

Harold’s embrace. Quietly, she complained, “Why did you invite him, Simon?”

“Don’t be scared. He won’t bite.” Dariel’s eyes twinkled with a smile as he held
