Chapter 292
Chapter 292:
He didn’t look satisfied. “Where are you going? We should go together p>
What p>
“Why? Are you going to see another male?” There was a colder edge to his voice.
What the hell? My brows creased in confusion.
His eyes suddenly grew soft. He shut them, let his head fall back, and released a long breath.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with me. You should go.” He walked away.
I stood still for a moment, replaying what had just happened.
I finished with my hair, grabbed my car keys, and went out to meet him in the living room. He was on the couch, staring into space.
“You could come with me. But please, promise me you’ll stay in the car when we get there p>
His eyes were cold as they pinned me with a stare.
A lot could actually go wrong here. What if he suddenly became blood-hungry and hurt me or someone else?
“I will,” he muttered, rising to his feet.
Walking to the door, he grabbed the keys from my hand.
The mood got better between Jaris and me when we hit the road. It looked like he only wanted to be around me—which was cool but unusual.
I was devastated when he told me Caden had hacked into my phone, which was how he got to know about the diner. I felt so stupid for not thinking about it.
But then, it wasn’t something common. The guy was just a psychopath. I made a mental note to get a new phone tomorrow. Thank goodness Jace and I hadn’t shared any texts concerning our location. After five excruciating hours, we reached the location.
“Still won’t tell me who’s in there?” Jaris asked, staring out the window at the house.

“It’s just someone I need to ask some questions. I’ll be quick, don’t worry.” I left the car and went to meet Jace, who also got out of his own car when he saw me. I had already told Jaris that Jace and I were visiting someone. As we walked toward the house, I kept glancing back at Jaris. I really hoped he’d keep his promise and stay in the car.
We knocked several times on the door until Cora opened up.
“Why the hell won’t you leave me alone? Do I have to involve security?” she rasped.
“Ms. Cora, please,” Jace pleaded. “I already told you we’re not dangerous. My friend and I only have a question for your sister. I know she was the one I saw through the window. You know it too p>
“Fine! You already proved you’re not dangerous. Still, I told you my sister can’t help you. Why won’t you just listen and back off p>
“Because we can’t back off!” I stepped in, my heart teeming with wrath. “It isn’t that easy, you know? Considering the kind of information I need from her. Not to mean any disrespect, Cora, but if you don’t let us in, we might have to break in ourselves p>
