Chapter 31 "Well... It was Mrs.

Stewart who told me," Chayce answered hesitantly, scratching the back of his head.

"Really? I didn't know you two were so close," Lindsey commented innocently, blinking her big, bright eyes at him like a child.

Upon hearing this, Kendra's hand trembled, and she almost knocked down the glass on the table.

Chayce stammered, "Well, I-I mean- I happened to run into her yesterday, and she toldall about it.

That was a blatant lie.

Truth be told, Kendra had told him about it on the phone.

To avoid any unnecessary trouble, Kendra decided that they ought to avoid going out together, lest somebody catch them together.

"Oh, I see," Lindsey nodded.

Then she looked at her father meaningfully and exclaimed, "What a small world, huh?" "Indeed!" Chayce interjected hurriedly, worried that Benny would get suspicious.

He picked up the coffee pot on the table and fawningly poured him another cup.

"It seems that Lindsey and I are meant to be together.

Benny was very pleased with this kind of flattery, so he scolded Lindsey lightheartedly, "You should've told Chayce sooner! You made the poor boy wait anxiously.

Lindsey pursed her lips, pretending to be aggrieved.

"Dad, I wanted to surprise him this weekend.

I planned to invite him to dinner at hand break the news to him, but I didn't expect that Kendra would tell him before then!" Hearing her explanation, both Chayce and Kendra secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

They were beginning to suspect that Lindsey knew something, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

After setting the table, Kendra walked to the living room while wiping her hands on her apron, looking like a textbook virtuous wife.

"Dinner's ready! Let's eat first.

" Together, they sat at the table and dug in.

"Now that Chayce's here today, let's talk about your engagement," Benny said while putting sfood on his plate.

Kendra smiled and chimed in, "Lindsey, just now, your father ironed out the details with Chayce.

The engagement party will be held next weekend.

We know how important this day is to you, so your father and I pulled all the stops.

We've already sent out the invitations.

ALL the prominent figures and celebrities in the city will be there to bless you two!" Lindsey lowered her head, pretending to be shy.

Truth be told, however, she knew very well what was really on Kendra's mind.

Kendra obviously invited so many guests to the engagement party so that she could make a fool out of her stepdaughter in front of all those people; the more the guests, the more wonderful the farce would be.

Lindsey raised her head and smiled brightly.

"Thank you.

" Seeing that Lindsey seemed completely oblivious to their scheme, Chayce finally felt relieved. Recently, he had felt that Lindsey was deliberately avoiding him, which made him a little restless.

After dinner, Lindsey linked arms with Chayce and smiled at him dotingly.

"Let's go out for a walk, Chayce!" "Sounds great.

"Since Lindsey was taking the him initiative to invite him for a walkm Chayce couldn't contain his excitement, feeling jubilant inside.

Kendra was secretly seething with jealousy, but there was nothing she could do to stop them without raising En: suspicion. She could only shoot Chayce a warning glance before the two left arm in arm.
