Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 254

Olivia was taken aback by the pale, fragile face she saw when the door opened. “Allie, what happened to you?” she exclaimed.

Allison responded weakly, “I’m alright.”

Quickly, Olivia stepped in to support her. “I brought the family doctor along. Let’s have him check on you.”

“Okay,” Allison agreed.

After examining her, the doctor gave Allison a shot and prescribed some medication. Hearing that she’d likely feel better by tomorrow, Olivia let out a relieved sigh.

...

Allison woke up naturally the next day, feeling well-rested. Checking her phone, she found several missed calls—from Javier, Linda, and her close friends Sabrina and Olivia. Most were just checking on her.

Returning Javier’s call, she assured him she’d be home. “Allie, are you joining us for lunch? We’re waiting for you,” he asked.

It was eleven. There was still time to make it for lunch. “Sure,” she replied.

As she drove through the gated community, heading toward the Owens family home, she noticed a familiar Cullinan in the distance. The license plate confirmed it was Joshua’s car. Passing by the Fisher family’s house was unavoidable on her way home.

Her grip on the steering wheel tightened, a bitter feeling rising within her.

The Owens family made sure lunch was lavish. Alongside Allison’s favorite homemade dishes, there were treats like lobster, king crab, and caviar.

Just then, Joshua stepped out of the house. Megan turned, said something to him, and pointed in Allison’s direction.

Realizing what was happening, Allison’s breath hitched.

A moment later, Joshua glanced over at her. Their eyes met across the short distance, connecting in the crisp January air of Oak Lake. The biting northern wind crept through her collar and sleeves, leaving Allison chilled to her core.

Joshua only spared her a brief look before turning away, resuming his conversation with Megan as they headed back inside. He’d brought Megan home to meet his family. Were they getting engaged?

A piercing pain shot through Allison’s chest.

It had been nearly a month since she and Joshua broke up. She thought she had moved on, but seeing Megan in the Fisher family’s yard made Allison realize she hadn’t let go at all.
