Chapter 224
Sawyer''s face stiffened up.
"D*mn!" Monique entered after me. "Why are the two of you here together?"
"It''s not what you think. Can''t you let me exin first?" Ian snapped, "And can you girls not jump to the
conclusion?"
Monique looked at him and pointed at them, "This is what I''m looking at. How can I not jump to any
conclusion?"
I stayed quiet.
Monique''s bluntness had no boundaries.
Ian alsomented at her frankness, "Are you even a woman? How did you say that with no shame?"
I nodded in agreement and said to Monique, "You really should tone down a little."
Monique made a face and shrugged. "It''s already the way it is. I was only pointing out the fact."
Looking back at Sawyer, I felt awkward and mumbled, "You guys-"
Sawyer''s expression wasn''t amicable, and he even looked mad. He gave Ian a death stare and voiced
out, "You better exin this, or I''ll kill you."
With a flushed face and trembling voice, Ian tried to rify, "I went to the barst night and
unintentionally brought him back!"
"Unintentionally?" Monique''s eyes widened. "You brought back a man by ident?"
"He was drunk and even got beaten by a woman. If I hadn''t known him before, I would have ignored
him!" Ian red at Sawyer and continued, "You were dead drunk. If I hadn''t brought you here, you
would''ve gotten knocked out by that woman."
Sawyer''s brows knitted together, and he rubbed his temples. He seemed to not remember anything

that happened from the night before. He probably was really wasted.
He looked at Ian and asked, "Can''t you just send me home?"
"How would I know where you stay?" Ian answered nastily.
Sawyer was at a loss for words.
I took a look at Sawyer. The bruises on his face proved that Ian probably didn''t make the story up.
As tricksy as usual, Monique tried to add fuel to the me, "Both of you slept on the same bed, and
both were drunk. Are you sure nothing happened?"
"We''re straight! Stop trying to make things worse," Sawyer grunted at her.
Monique curled her lips, clearly unbothered. She directed her attention back to Ian and urged him,
"Can you get ready quickly? We''re heading out to eatter."
Simultaneously, Ian and Sawyer turned and walked to the bathroom. Monique burst into augh and
teased again, "And you''re still telling me nothing is going on between you two? Don''t tell me you''re
showering together to save water."
The hotel''s bathroom was actually very spacious, so it wasn''t odd for them to go in together. Monique
just never let go of any chance to make fun of Ian.
At that moment, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Hendrix, "Where are you?"
"The hotel," I replied with a text too.
Hendrix asked, "Meeting your friends?"
I said, "Yes."
Monique tilted her head over andmented, "Hendrix has been pretty strict with you recently, didn''t
he?"
"Probably because of the baby," I responded.
Right after that, another message from Hendrix came in, "I''ve signed up prenatal care sses for you. I
also sent the timetable and address to your email. Remember to go to the sses!"
Reading the message he sent, I massaged the back of my neck softly and could only reply, "Okay!"
I put away my phone and turned to Monique, "Do you want to attend prenatal yoga sses?"
"Not a chance!" She shook her head, "I''m nning to go back to the countryside once Ian goes back to
Mesville."
I nodded and said no more.
Not long after, Sawyer and Ian came out from the shower. Both of them have dressed up.
Sawyer looked at me and frowned slightly, "Do you know each other?"
"Yes. We''ve been friends since college."
"Let''s have a meal together," Sawyer suggested. From the way Ian talked to him, I supposed they had
known each other since college as well.
However, I was still curious about how they knew each other, especially since Sawyer was much
younger than us.
