The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 426

The kids glanced nervously over their shoulders, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

“Louis, are you seeing things?” Ethan asked.

Louis scratched his head, looking uncertain. “I don’t think so. Maybe it’s just Darcy’s gang again?”

If he was wrong, it would just make the disappointment worse.

On the way back, the old man pulled out his phone and called Dylan directly.
