The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame (Donald and Jennifer) novel Chapter 855

“I... went out with a friend. I have a very close friend who just arrived in Pollerton yesterday. He phoned me and asked me out for a meal, so we chatted for a while,” Donald fibbed.

“A friend? What friend, Darling? Why didn't I know that you had friends?” Jennifer questioned with puzzlement etched across her features.

The corners of Donald's mouth twitched. “What are you saying, Darling? Can't I have friends? You're not acquainted with that friend of mind, so you won't know who it is even if I tell you his name.”

Jennifer was easily duped. Since he had said as much, she nodded without any intention of pressing further.

However, Hannah sneered and retorted, “How do you know that if you don't say his name? After all, our circle of acquaintances is small. What if your friend is also our friend?”

When Donald heard that, he knew she wanted to expose his lie by using the Nixon family's connections.

He pondered for a moment and said, “That friend of mine is known as Raphael Carr. Are you acquainted with him?”

Hannah scoffed, “Who knows whether the person you mentioned exists or otherwise?”

Gosh, she's the one who asked for a name. And now that I've satisfied her, she doesn't believe it. Such are women!

Donald was a man, so he did not plan on taking offense to Hannah and the others.

Most importantly, he had no idea why they were angry. He had no way of appeasing them. In truth, he had always been a person who was inept at making girls happy.

In the many years he had been with Jennifer, he had almost never done something nice for her.

He went to the bathroom and turned on the hot water for a shower. No sooner had he started showering than a beautiful figure appeared outside the door.

In a flash, his nerves stretched taut.

Is Hannah up to her tricks again? Jennifer is still outside, and she might misunderstand things. Worse still, she's easily jealous!

Following that thought, he felt that he needed to do something.

Hmm, the best solution is probably to lock the door, right?
