To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 Stephanie’s Lie

“Stephanie? Didn’t she come here with you?” Mr. Walker looked bewildered. “A few days ago, she said she was going to stay over at your place. You didn’t know?”

Jenny was stunned. Stephanie hadn’t mentioned anything like that.

“Something happened to you, right? Once you got back, Stephanie said she was going to keep you company for a few days. I figured that since you’d been through an earthquake, you’d need the support. So I didn’t think too much of it and let her go,” Mr. Walker continued.

Jenny didn’t answer. She remembered how Stephanie had called her to check in on her but had not come to see her. Jenny thought that she was busy, but that wasn’t the case, apparently.

Her silence made Mr. Walker nervous. “What’s wrong? Didn’t she go to see you?”

“No. She gave me a call but never visited. I thought she was busy, so I didn’t think too much of it.” Who would have known that Stephanie told her father she was coming to see her? Wasn’t this a blatant lie?

Now Mr. Walker was truly nervous. He called Stephanie at once, but the robotic voice coming from the other end made his heart sink. “The number you have called is unavailable.”

“Where would she go if she didn’t go to see you?” Mr. Walker was worried that something had happened to his daughter.

Jenny comforted him, “Don’t panic, Mr. Walker. Maybe she’s just busy, and her phone happened to be turned off.”

“But why did she lie to me?” Stephanie clearly hadn’t gone to Jenny’s place, yet she had told him she had.

Jenny couldn’t think of a reason, either. She was quiet for a bit, and then she suddenly remembered Stephanie’s secret boyfriend, whom she had never met.

Technically, he wasn’t her boyfriend because Stephanie had mentioned that he didn’t put a name to their relationship.
