[Evening]
Ovelia's POV
We were still a bit far from Chief Gareth's house. I glanced over at Ace, curiosity bubbling up inside me. "A, where did you guys go earlier?"
He turned to me, his brow furrowing slightly. "Was Chief Gareth at his house?"
My brow furrowed, a knot of suspicion forming in my stomach. Was he ignoring my question, or was he deliberately avoiding it?
"He was at home before Ann and I left his house. I'm not sure if he's still there." I replied, my brow furrowed in concern.
"Alright, thanks," Ace said, his voice steady, but I sensed an underlying hesitation.
I shifted my gaze to Ray, eager to continue, "R, where did you guys—"
Before I could finish, he interjected, "I can already see Chief Gareth's house in the distance."
