Once I mentioned that name, my mother was instantly intrigued.

"Since we’re here, let’s go check it out," she said, eager to see for herself.

I couldn’t help but smirk.

Both my mother and Randal were firmly opposed to Juniper working out during her pregnancy, so running into her inside would certainly stir up a scene.

It would be even juicier if we discovered something else intriguing.

As we entered the mall, I took a quick glance at the parking area and saw that Hugo wasn’t in the car.

This suggested that he was probably somewhere inside the mall with us.

Last time we were here, we ended up in the VIP changing room at the far end of the gym.

As soon as my mother walked in, she asked the receptionist, "Is there a special promotion at this gym right now?"

I cleared my throat and the receptionist nodded, acknowledging the question.

The receptionist, clearly skilled at handling such inquiries, immediately added, "Yes, ma’am. We’re celebrating our gym's anniversary and there are substantial discounts for group memberships. Plus, our facilities are top-notch. Feel free to take a look around…”

I linked arms with my mother and began to scan the area with exaggerated curiosity.
