Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 978

Lisa recognized the voice without turning around, having just heard it last night.

"Hi, Aunt Joelle." She greeted Joelle, who was walking toward her with a delighted expression.

"No way! It's you!" Joelle looked at Xander. "Oh, so you're Lisa's boyfriend, Xander?"

Xander raised an eyebrow. "How come she calls you Aunt Joelle?"

Joelle blushed slightly, and Lisa explained, "She's my uncle's girlfriend."

"What a coincidence! Looks like we're about to become even more closely related." He was getting quite into the act.

Lisa hadn't expected to run into Joelle here. Luckily, her relationship with Xander was just a ruse. Otherwise, things could have gotten complicated. Joelle was both her uncle's girlfriend and Xander's cousin.

"My boyfriend will be here soon, and I'm waiting for him." Joelle's words gave Lisa a headache.

Why did she keep running into Logan everywhere she went? It seemed like she couldn't escape him.

"You wait here. We'll go in first," Xander said, wrapping his arm around her.

"How did Joelle become your cousin? Which side of the family?" Lisa felt like the world's population of billions had suddenly become so small.

"You'll have to ask my uncle about that. She's my uncle's daughter." He spoke with his usual laid-back attitude.

"Your uncle... do you still..." He had barely asked when she twisted her body and shook off the arm he had around her.

He sensed her discomfort and quickly changed the subject. "Just treat them like normal people, okay? And don't mess up our act later. If my grandpa finds out I got a fake girlfriend to appease him, his birthday party could turn into a funeral."

She smacked him playfully. "What are you talking about? Don't say such unlucky things!"

Xander chuckled. "You're really getting into the character of a perfect granddaughter-in-law."
