Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After novel Chapter 773

Chapter 773 Mommy Won’t Believe That

When Zander locked the bathroom door, he made sure there was no sound coming from outside.

He then tapped on his watch a couple of times.

Soon, Zenia’s hushed voice came through the watch. “You aren’t back yet, Zander?”

Whispering so he couldn’t be heard, Zander said, “The bad man is a tough nut to crack. I need more time.”

“But if you’re not back soon, Mommy would know you’re gone,” Zenía said nervously.

“If Mommy asks, just tell her I went to play with Jimmie.”

“Who’s Jimmie?” Zenia asked curiously.

Zander without hesitation lied. “It’s a friend I made here in Grester. Just tell Mommy that. Don’t change the

story!”

Zenia, however, was quite hesitant. “We’ve only been in Grester for a few days, and we’ve mostly been at the hotel. How then could you have made a new friend? Mommy won’t believe that.”

“Just do as I say. I’ll be back once I’ve dealt with the bad man,” Zander said earnestly.

Then, Lindsey’s voice came through on Zenia’s end, curiously asking, “Who are you talking to, sweetie, and

where’s Zander?”

Zander immediately looked panicked.

He fumbled with his watch, trying to disconnect the call.

His mother was already asking about him! He had no idea if Zenia would be able to cover for him.

It was barely more than a minute before Zenia called him back. Zander hesitated to answer the call, scared of who could be on the other end.

His heart raced as he froze in fear.

He waited for the call to end on its own.

When the watch stopped buzzing, he sighed in relief.

The sigh was barely out of his mouth when his watch began to buzz again.

This time, to Zander’s dismay, it was Mommy calling!

Terror washed over Zander as he watched the watch buzz. Zenia wasn’t good at lying. She had never lied to

Mommy!

He couldn’t bring himself to answer the call.

Zander’s mind raced as he tried to find a way out of the mess he was in.

His thought turned to the man outside. Initially, he had not believed what Zenia had said, but after meeting the man today, he couldn’t deny that they looked alike.

What was even stranger was how he felt when he was with this man.

He didn’t feel like the man was a bad person. Instead, he felt like he was a good person.

Zander needed to investigate further, so he had to stay here.

He needed to understand why they looked alike even if he couldn’t teach him a lesson.

With that thought in mind, Zander declined Linsey’s call.

He turned off his watch, ensuring no more calls could come through.

He then headed for the door.

As he passed the sink, he flushed and made a show of washing his hands.

When he opened the door, Collin and Dustin turned to him.
