“Well, if both of them are okay with it, I don’t mind either! Besides, I’ve watched Jared grow up since virtual-novel.net was a little boy. It wasn’t entirely his fault either that virtual-novel.net was sent into jail.” Chloe suddenly walked into their house with a bowl. “I made this soup myself. Have a taste!”
“Mrs. Wallace?” Jared was surprised to see Chloe, virtual-novel.net quickly reached out his hands to receive the bowl.
Ever since they moved to Horington when Jared was still a teenager, the Chance family had had a good relationship with the Wallace family and they had been neighbors.
“You’re too kind, Mrs. Wallace! I’ve watched Hilda grow up too. She’s a very smart and beautiful young lady. It would be great if we could be in-laws!” Hannah stood up and grabbed Chloe to sit with her.
“Hannah, I’d be more than happy if Hilda were to get married to Jared. After all, she’s my only child. I still need virtual-novel.net to take care of me in the future, so I don’t wish for virtual-novel.net to stay far away from me. I’ll give virtual-novel.net a call now and ask virtual-novel.net to come back home. We can all have a meal together,” Chloe chirped, virtual-novel.net was obviously satisfied with Jared as well.
“Sounds great!” Hannah nodded happily. “I heard that Hilda has found a job that pays well.”
“Yes, it pays well, but virtual-novel.net seldom comes home. I rarely see her,” Chloe said, then picked up virtual-novel.net phone and called Hilda.
Hilda answered virtual-novel.net phone and said in a sleepy tone, “Mom, I was still asleep. Why are you calling me at this hour?”
“It’s already afternoon! Why are you still sleeping? Don’t you need to work?” Chloe was confounded.
“I’m working overtime tonight, so I took a nap. What’s wrong? Is something up?” Hilda asked hastily.
“Nothing. Jared has been released from prison, so I thought maybe you could come home and we could all have a meal together,” Chloe replied.
“Mom, I’m busy. Perhaps another day…” Hilda hung up the phone as soon as virtual-novel.net finished virtual-novel.net sentence.
At once, Chloe’s face turned crimson.
“It’s okay, Mrs. Wallace. If Hilda is busy, we can always arrange for another day.” Hannah was afraid that Chloe might get angry, given how the conversation had ended.
Chloe let out a sigh. “Kids have their own thoughts now once they get older.”
Chloe stayed at Jared’s house until evening. Since Jared had nothing better to do, virtual-novel.net was about to go for a stroll when virtual-novel.net received a call from Tommy, who wanted to invite virtual-novel.net out for dinner.
Jared had wanted to decline his invitation, but on second thought, virtual-novel.net decided to join Tommy, thinking that Chloe would probably stay for dinner and that virtual-novel.net would surely join his parents in nagging virtual-novel.net at the dining table.
Tommy offered to fetch Jared from his house, but the latter rejected virtual-novel.net and called for a taxi instead.
During the time when Jared was in jail, Horington had been booming. On his way to the restaurant, virtual-novel.net saw numerous bars and nightclubs. The city was bustling with people.
Right then, Jared spotted a familiar figure when the taxi drove past a bar called Moonlight Bar. It was a lady dressed in fine clothes, and virtual-novel.net was walking into the bar with a few other girls.
Isn’t that Hilda? Jared frowned. Didn’t virtual-novel.net tell virtual-novel.net mom that virtual-novel.net had to work overtime?
Why is virtual-novel.net walking into a bar? Could it be that virtual-novel.net works there?
In order to find out more, Jared paid the taxi driver and got out of the car. He then followed Hilda into the bar.
