Why Don't You Ask Him?

Vale huffed again before replying.

“I don’t understand, Dylan. Why should I go to his family dinner when I have no relations with him? What would their family think? Do you think it’s wise to appear in front of his other gang members? What if this raise suspicions?”

She bit her lip. It’s her habit when she becomes frustrated. She had been questioning herself with this all the time.

Dylan is silent for a while before he answered, “Why don’t you ask him yourself? He must have a reason for this.”

'Good grief. Dylan, you’re not helping at all.'

Vale chuckled bitterly, “I don’t think so. I forgot Keith does things for no reason.”

The memory of her getting blackmailed for no reason had her gripping the root of her hair frustratedly.
