Chapter 1329: Chapter 1542

“Tomorrow or the day after, I’ll find a chance to return to that house to dig a bit deeper.

This matter might hold more weight than we can fathom.

”

Cyrus gave his consent, but he was concerned for her safety.

Since she had been recently attacked, the thought of her going there again had him on edge.

“I’ll have two skilled guards positioned around the Shaw family’s house.

If things take a nasty turn, just scream and they’ll come to your rescue.

”

“Alright.

”

After their conversation, he swooped her up in his arms and walked into the bathroom where they took a shower together.

It was a peaceful night in Stastle.

Meanwhile, over in Forden, rain came down in torrents.

Even when Hilliard touched down and came out of the plane, the rain didn’t seem to have any intentions of easing up.

After settling into his hotel room, Hilliard dialing Jennifer’s number repeatedly throughout the afternoon.

Unfortunately, she had blocked his number.

She was determined to lock away her emotions and erase him from her mind.

In his hotel room, Hilliard found himself staring up at the ceiling, clueless about how to ask her out.

Hilliard was restless throughout the night and couldn’t sleep.

Finally, he decided to send a message to Cyrus.

Immediately Cyrus came out of the shower, he responded to him.

“You have to be the most stubborn man I know! Why not just show up where she is? Make an effort for once!” Cyrus exclaimed in his message.

Hilliard’s brow furrowed as he tried to grasp the idea.

“What do you mean? Like I should wait outside her house or something?

Shortly, Cyrus sent him a facepalm emoji.

When Hilliard saw this, his face turned even colder.

Cyrus’s message popped up again.

“It’s raining in Forden right? Why not make up a tale about losing your phone and wallet? Paint a picture of being stranded, and then reach out to the Turner family for shelter.

Play the pity game.

And don’t forget, you’re not just anybody.

You’re a Simmons.

Remember, you’ve saved her before.

The Turners won’t turn you down.

Get close to her, apologize, and win back her heart.

That’s how you do it.

”

Hilliard stared at the screen, mulling over the words, and eventually decided that it was a good idea.

Then Cyrus sent him a link.

“Set your after-work medical studies aside for now.

Swap those medical journals for a love story or two.
