The Runaway Groom
Chapter 961

Zachary was speechless. He wondered if Stan could stop scaring him —his heart was not strong enough for such a thrill!

Stan was literally killing him here!

"W-Well, whose is it?!" Zachary exclaimed.

“lan Jefferson's,” Stan replied, his voice flat just then.

Zachary almost breathed an expletive right then. "Him?! How?!"

It was absolutely unexpected. He would never have thought it possible! “I don't know the details either.” Stan sighed.

"Oh, never mind. It's fine as long as it's not James. F*ck me, I almost had a heart attack!" Zachary exclaimed cheerfully. "Alright, I'm hanging up now. I have to tell Isaac about this."

"Yeah," Stan replied and hung up.

Zachary then slid his phone into his pocket but jumped in surprise when he turned to find Erin standing behind him!

"W-What are you doing here?!" he exclaimed.

Erin simply stared at him in silence while Zachary felt guilty from the stare. Did she overhear something?

He searched his memory but did not find anything suspicious about what he and Stan spoke of.

With that, he confidently returned Erin's gaze and asked, "What are you staring at me for?"

"Who were you speaking to?" Erin asked with a serious look.

She appeared so stern just then that Zachary avoided her gaze again and slowly answered, "Stan."

"Oh," Erin said, and pressed, “And you were talking to him about James?"

Zachary was speechless. Was he?

Wait, he did do so... but only once.

"And what did you mean, 'it's fine as long as it's not James?" Erin asked then.

“You misheard," Zachary tried to explain. "I wasn't talking about him—" “You were," Erin said confidently.

Seeing that he was not going to fool her, Zachary said, "Well, I might have mentioned him once to Stan. What's wrong with that? Aren't you getting paranoid here?"

Erin certainly was.

Even after Irene explained to her that they could not reach James, the whole thing just felt fisher to her.

She just could not explain what it was.

As such, she leveled a coercing glare at Zachary and said, "No, you didn't mention James for no reason. There was clearly something up with what you said."

Zachary felt even more exposed right then and made to leave. "Don't ask me!"

Erin caught his hand. "Don't you run away from me!"

Zachary wheeled on her and cried, "W-What are you doing, holding on to me like that?! James would be jealous if he sees this! It's sexual harassment, y'know?"

Erin knew he was just making a scene so that she would let go. “Tell me what you said about James and I'll let you go."

"What? What are you talking about? I have no idea!" Zachary kept trying to play dumb and give her the slip.

However, Erin was much sharper and less naive these days after what happened before.

As such, she did not buy Zachary's excuse at all.

And she was determined! "You know what I'm asking about. You can stop pretending and understand that I won't let you go as long as you don't tell me."

That was when Zachary suddenly looked behind Erin and said, "Irene?" As Erin turned, he seized the moment to pry his hand off her, and he made a run for it.

He might have to tell the truth if she kept bugging him!

Even so, Erin was relentless and promptly gave chase. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
