Chapter 2

He hurriedly took out his phone and answered it, and his father’s voice came from the other end. “Jake, do you have time to come home now? Dad has something to tell you.”

“Okay, I’ll be right back.”

When Jake got home, he saw his father and a woman sitting on the sofa, happily talking about something. After they noticed he had returned, both of their faces became a little nervous at the same time.

After hesitating for a moment, his father was the first to speak. “Jake, this is Mrs. Young.”

Thinking back to the scene when he had just entered the door, Jake understood now. This old guy had found love for the second time.

All these years, his father had raised him alone, and it had not been easy. Now, he deserved to have his own happiness too.

Jake looked at the woman with a grin. “Hello, Mrs. Young!”

After exchanging pleasantries, they began chatting about family matters and kept talking until very late. Although his father asked him to stay for dinner, Jake still refused and said he did not want to disturb their time together.

Walking alone on the road, Jake looked a little lonely. He was sincerely happy for his father’s happiness, but when he thought of his mother, who had already passed away, his heart ached again. He took out his phone and called Zack, saying he wanted to buy him drinks to make up for leaving them behind in the haunted house.

After several bottles of alcohol, Jake was already lying on the bar counter, still shouting that he wanted to keep drinking.

In his daze, he saw a figure walking toward him. As the distance between them closed, he felt more and more that this figure was strangely familiar...

That person walked up to Jake and pulled him up from the bar counter. Only then did Jake see clearly that the person who had come was actually Evan. Looking at Evan’s face so close at hand, Jake’s eyes gradually reddened, and in the end, he threw himself directly into Evan’s arms and burst into tears.

Evan simply stood there quietly, letting Jake sob and vent against his chest with tears and snot all over the place.

When Jake groggily opened his eyes, he discovered that he was in a hotel!

Jake sat up with one hand covering his hungover head, then suddenly realized that he was completely naked! Not only that, Evan was also lying naked beside him, and his backside hurt too!!!

After his brain short-circuited for a few seconds, fragments of last night rushed back like a flood...

Last night, after Evan helped him out of the bar, Evan asked for his home address, but his answer was actually, “Go home for what? Let’s get a room!”

Evan very quickly put that into action and satisfied him, tossing him around in all kinds of positions for several hours...

Someone tell him what was going on now! Wasn’t he the one chasing Evan?! Hadn’t Evan always ignored him?

Oh my God! He must have woken up wrong this morning!

Just as Jake was still in shock, Evan, who was beside him, opened his eyes. “We...”

“Stop, stop, stop!!!” Jake quickly interrupted Evan’s voice.

“Let’s stop right here and pretend nothing happened last night! I won’t keep pestering you anymore either!” Jake scrambled to put on his clothes.

What the hell was this?! Although he had dated many times, the most he had ever done was hold hands...

Great, just great! He had not even won the guy over yet, and his first time was already gone!

Evan grabbed Jake and pulled him over. “Jake! Don’t even think about running away!”

Jake looked at Evan in shock, while a faint smile slowly appeared on Evan’s face.

Evan’s words and his smile both made Jake feel a chill down his spine. Why did it feel like he had fallen into a trap?!

Jake remembered clearly that he had been drinking with Zack last night. Had that guy been turned against him?!

No wonder there was a saying that the best hunters always appeared as prey.

Well, damn, it turned out I was the prey all along!
