Chapter 167: Where She Wanted To Be
Rory tried to switch on her phone, but the display was damaged. She could not operate the phone.
"I took pictures of Liam..." she said controlling her sniff. "He was so..." She pouted.
Lennon laughed, as he always does when it involved the both of them. Rory looked at him with a little red on her cheeks. Usually, he would follow it by saying that they are interesting. But this time, Lennon’s eyes turned intense as he looked at her.
He held out his hand. "Let’s give your phone for repair then. We can use that pictures to get~"
"No need!" With a playful pout that was hard for her to fake, she placed her phone back inside her pocket. "Let him suffer some more..." she let out a sigh. "Maybe tomorrow..."
"But you’d still need your phone..." Lennon tried to reason with her.
Rory turned to look at Lennon. She had never traveled with Lennon sitting closer like this. And she is not sure what is waiting for her. She wanted to help Liam and others, but she was still scared to leave Ellie alone.
Thinking about Ellie made her eyes water. Her tears were genuine. And she leaned on Lennon’s shoulder. "I had to learn from the cops that he thought I was having illicit relationships with Derick. Derick of all people, uncle. How could he?" she started to sob.
"Hmm... he did? Isn’t that a bit..." Lennon placed his hand over her head.
Rory’s hand stood on the edge, but she let Lennon "comfort" her. She needs to be inside the house to see for sure. If Lennon is the killer, there are bound to be some clues in the house that he frequents.
"He said that he almost cheated with Allison... Maybe he did... Maybe he lied to me because Allison was threatening him. Maybe that baby they found was his... He refused to be with me and... he left me alone and he made Allison pregnant... How could he? He cheated, and he doubted me! It makes me want to cheat, for real," she said.
"Why can’t I cheat once, when he did it repeatedly?"
