Chapter 846



‘I can’t believe it.’

Lacey simply said, ‘I know. It’s hard to believe. But you should move on. Maybe she doesn’t feel the same way about you anymore. Sometimes people grow apart. That’s life.’

Jake’s eyes turned red, and his gaze filled with determination.

‘She wouldn’t love someone else.

Anyone in the world could betray me, but not her.

Never her.’

Lacey was shocked.

She wanted to ask Jake if he was blinded by love.

Despite all this, she still trusted Kallie.

‘Do you really love her that much?’ she asked him, trying to understand.

‘Yes,’ Jake replied, nodding.

‘I love her, and that’s why I trust her.

I won’t believe it until she tells me herself that she doesn’t love me anymore.’

Lacey’s face went white.

Without warning, Jake turned around.

Their gazes met.

Jake saw a glint of something unwavering in Lacey’s eyes, and his brow furrowed in confusion.

Lacey averted her gaze immediately.

‘I’m just surprised at how strongly you feel it,’ she said, her voice carefully neutral.

‘But as for finding her, I can’t help you.

Do what you think is best.

𝔤𝓪𝓵𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵𝓼.𝓬𝓸𝓶 – more stories here Just don’t cause trouble for Jeanette and me.’

Jake’s frown deepened.

He hoped he was reading too much into Lacey’s complicated look from moments before.

From the moment they’d met, Jake had thought of Lacey as someone who kept her emotions in check.

Now his main focus was to find a way to see Kallie face to face.

He needed to find a way to gauge her true feelings for Clayton.

Jake didn’t think Kallie was fickle in her affections, but Clayton’s persistent pursuit of her filled him with trepidation.

It wasn’t long before Jake found an opportunity.

Kallie had founded a charity dedicated to helping children in need, and he made sure to attend her monthly events.

Reporters often asked Kallie about her personal life, hoping for a juicy scoop.

Jake decided to find a way to blend in with the crowd and reach out to Kallie.

With renewed determination, he returned to begin making his plans.

Once Jake was out of sight, Lacey stepped out, Jeanette’s hand firmly entwined in his.

Jeanette looked up at Lacey, her brow furrowed in worry.

‘Lacey, what if Jake finds out we were behind this, won’t he be mad? He’ll hate us, won’t he?’ she asked, her voice small.

Lacey let out a tired sigh.
