章 270: Don't Look For Me

My heart pounded when the man didn't answer. I felt uncomfortable and awkward when he just stared at me.

I took a deep breath to muster the courage to speak again. Although I pitied the man when he told us about his family, I had doubts ever since we walked inside the house.

"Talk now. I know you're not telling the truth."

The man didn't blink and was just looking at me. Then I was startled when Jayden suddenly stood by my side.

"Did you call them?" He asked.

I frowned. I couldn't understand what Jayden was asking. I was more confused when the man nodded.

"Love, who did he call? What's happening?" I asked, looking at Jayden.

Jayden turned to me and smiled.

"I need you to stay here and don't go outside." He said.

I frowned again. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Peg, please promise me." He pleaded.

I got anxious and my heart couldn't stop pounding.

"No! Tell me what fuck is going on?" I exclaimed.
