Too Pretty to Be Your Backup novel Chapter 103

Amanda frowned, then hung up without a second thought. She opened her game, ready to zone out and forget the world.

Travis stood nearby, calm and composed, always carrying that quiet authority. He’d heard the whole call, and watched as she rejected the callback just as quickly.

He stared down at her for a long moment, his voice steady and low. “Aren’t you going to explain?”

“Huh?” Amanda looked up, confused, meeting his cool, questioning eyes.

“Explain what?” she asked, genuinely lost.

Why did she always have to explain herself? She was starting to feel like her entire life was one long explanation, and she never even knew what she was supposed to be explaining.

Travis frowned, pointing at her phone. “The call.”

Amanda blinked, still clueless. “What call…”

Then it clicked. The call about finding her marriage certificate. “You mean the marriage certificate thing?”

Travis' eyes were dark and unreadable, calm on the outside but with something stormy brewing underneath.

Amanda couldn’t help but laugh a little. “Don’t tell me you’ve never gotten a scam call before?”

Okay, maybe this one was extra bizarre. Who starts a scam with a marriage certificate? Did scammers think married women were easier targets or something?

Travis looked genuinely puzzled. “A scam?”

Wow. He really had never gotten a scam call. That was so unfair. She always thought everyone had gotten at least one.

Actually, maybe she wasn’t missing out. A life without scam calls kind of seemed incomplete, though. Travis was living proof.
