Chapter 141

“I lost the game and had to run around shirtless.

Did I startle you?”

Sumner said, sounding a bit defeated.

He had just stepped outside when he spotted someone familiar.

To his surprise, it was Lindsey.

Moments ago, Lindsey felt a mix of fear and astonishment.

She was relieved it was just Sumner.

“You should head back and get dressed.
