Chapter 158: Chapter 154: Uninvited Guest (*)

"B-but why," Ryder muttered with confusion when he heard the doorbell ring.

"Oh Fuck!" he exclaimed as he hurriedly got off the bed and ran towards the door. He didn't want Alice to open the door.

As soon as he stepped out of his room, he remembered something. His eyes fell on the clock that was in the hallway, signifying that Alice had already left for school.

Still, just to be sure, he checked the kitchen and her room. Her bag was missing, as well.

"She probably left. Good," He muttered as he breathed in relief.

He walked towards the door in comfort and opened it, only to become shocked again as it was Alice standing outside the door.

"You?" he asked in surprise.

"Why are you acting weird?" Alice asked as she looked at him suspiciously.

"I thought you left. I was just wondering why you were back. Did you forget something?" he asked Alice, acting all casual.

"I forgot something important. My phone is in the room, I think."
