Chapter 225: I Believe It Anyway
But Leon wasn’t the least bit flustered. His smile vanished instantly, replaced with a mask of concern as he asked, “What’s wrong? Didn’t I explain it clearly? Or… did your parents already go back without you?”
He’d expected Abigail to be fooled by him once again. Who would have thought she’d cut straight to the chase?
“What was my dad wearing when you saw him?”
“A brown leather jacket, I think.” Leon recalled Pierre’s classic outfit from memory.
“And my mom?” Abigail pressed on.
“Sky-blue top, dark purple long skirt.” Leon continued, drawing from his memories of the game. In truth, he had never actually seen Caroline in person before.
“Heh. So, did you see them yesterday or not?” Abigail sneered.
From his description alone, she knew he was lying. Unlike Leon, she had spent the whole morning at home—she remembered exactly what her parents were wearing.
“Maybe I remembered wrong? The situation was so tense at the time that I might’ve mixed things up.” Leon tried to salvage the lie when he saw Abigail clench her little fists with ill intent.
