My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 2787

Chapter 2787

"You're not going either, Patricia?" Lulu asked with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

She knew that if Patricia did not come along, Ellar would most likely not either. That would leave just four of them, making it somewhat less exciting for all of them. Patricia caught onto Lulu's hint, and after a moment of hesitation, she nodded. "Okay, I'll come."

"Really? Count me in too!" Ellar's face lit up, as he was previously certain that Patricia would just say no to Lulu's idea.

But before he could get too excited, Patricia shot him a frosty glare. "No, you can't join us."

"Why not?" he asked, his momentary sense of joy dissipating. 'Where's the fun in that?'

Lulu, whose brows were furrowed in confusion, turned to Patricia. "Come on, Patricia. Let him come. It'll always be more fun with more people, don't you think?"

"Yeah, exactly!" Ellar pleaded with Patricia, hoping she would change her mind.

However, Patricia stood firm, going as far as giving him an ultimatum. "If you go, Ellar, I'm not going."

June, sensing the tension, began to wonder what was happening between them, but Ellar quickly interrupted her train of thought.

"Okay, okay, you should go. I'll just leave," he said.

Ellar giving in just like that caught Patricia off guard, making her frown in suspicion. 'He gave in too quickly. Something doesn't feel right.'

"Alright, let's go then," Lulu finally said. "It might not be as fun with so few of us around, though."

"No worries, I'll invite someone else," Patricia said, already heading out.

"Invite someone? Who?" Lulu asked, taken aback. "Did I miss something? Does Patricia have a boyfriend? Is that the reason why she's so cold toward Ellar?'

Ellar, in the meantime, was looking increasingly troubled, his mind a chaotic whirlwind of doubts. 'Patricia doesn't want me to come along and she's talking about inviting someone else. What does that mean? She said she didn't have a boyfriend, so who could she be thinking of inviting?'

Then, he cast a glance over at Samuel, June, Lulu, and Spencer while his thoughts continued to race. 'It's unlikely that Patricia will just bring just one of her girl friends along, right? But if it's not a girl friend, will it be another dude?'

These thoughts inundated Ellar, making him even paler than before as a sense of dread slowly crept in. 'Am I being left behind? Is it possible that Patricia already has someone else in mind?'

"Ellar? Ellar!"

"Huh?" Lulu's voice finally got to Ellar, snapping him out of it.

For a moment, there was a look of puzzlement on his face.

"What's on your mind?" Lulu asked.

"Nothing." Ellar quickly shifted the focus. "Why did you call me?"

"Are you sure you're not coming with us?" Lulu asked, her tone reflecting her disappointment.

She had hoped that the group outing would give Ellar and Patricia a chance to connect with one another, especially if there was a potential romance brewing.

"Just go ahead without me. I'll think of something," Ellar said, noticing that Patricia had already departed.

He then encouraged the others to leave as well.

"Okay, we're heading out. But hurry up. Don't pass this opportunity up," Samuel reminded Ellar.

After everyone else had left, Ellar ran his hands through his hair out of irritation and determination. He had initially planned to stay back and then follow them discreetly. Now, he was even more driven to go and find out who Patricia was going to meet.

Meanwhile, Lulu could not help but express her concern as Samuel, Spencer, and the others got into their car. "I didn't know Patricia had a boyfriend. I hope I haven't stirred anything up."

"Don't worry about it. Let's just see how things unfold,"

Spencer said, offering a comforting pat to Lulu on her shoulder.

Soon after, the group reached their destination.

There, Lulu spotted Charlie, whom she studied from top to toe. "You seem familiar. Have we met before?"

"Yes, once," Charlie said. "Hi. I'm Charlie."

"Oh, Mr. Johnston's..." Lulu recalled. 'Ah, he's working for Jared.'
