Chapter 1092
Jared felt nothing but disdain for the two men and the nature of the conversation they were engaging in, and strode off without excusing himself.
When Henry turned around to speak to him, he was already gone.
"Jared, how is your grandfather holding up?" Daniel asked, as the two men had huddled themselves at a quiet corner of the hall.
"I was informed that he has regained consciousness."
"Yeah, he is recovering.As of recent, he has begun to sit up."
Jared looked at Daniel, thankful for his concern.
"That's great!"
Daniel beamed.
"Your grandfather has always been a strong and healthy person, so I do not doubt that he is having a speedy recovery."
"Yeah."
"Dad, what are you guys talking about?"
Nicole walked over as she noticed Jared and Daniel together.
"Ah, we were just talking about Jared's grandpa," Daniel replied, before turning his attention back to Jared again.
"Jared, please, do come over for a visit whenever you're free."
It had been sometime since Daniel had a meal with Jared and the family.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHe had little to no clue about how the rest of them were doing in life.
"Sure.I'll come over when I have time," Jared said.
"Nicole, is your mom over there?" Daniel asked.
"Yeah, right behind that pillar." Nicole pointed.
"Alright.I'll go over and check on her."
He stood up and made his way to Gloria.
"The both of you can carry on."
"Jared, what are you doing here?"
Henry walked up to the pair with a glass of wine in hand.
"I was looking for you.Ah, you're here too, Nicole."
Chloe swayed and twirled in a surprising display of grace in Henry's arms, but she would dart her eyes at Jared from time to time.
After the first song had ended, members of the crowd brought their partners to the floor, joining Henry and Chloe.
Jared followed by leading Nicole to the dance floor, on which they proceeded to cut a rug like a pair of professional terpsichorean.
With dapper suits and silken gowns paired with songs and dances, the event went into full swing, as the hall erupted into a dazzling display of glamour and beauty.
Everyone present became even more appealing, as they danced the night away.
After a few sessions, Nicole pulled Jared off to the side.
"Let's catch a break for a while and watch them."
Indeed, Nicole did not wish to embarrass herself in front of others any longer.She felt that, while the people in the crowd were envied by many, they were also clowns in the eyes of many others.
Out of the blue, a person walked up to Henry and whispered something into his ear.
Soon after, he hurried out and left Chloe in the room all by herself.
"Wait, what just happened? What made him skedaddle?"
Nicole queried as she watched Henry hightailing it from the premise.
