The Man's Decree novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Come Home For Dinner

“Well, if both of them are okay with it, I don’t mind either! Besides, I’ve watched Jared grow up since he was a little boy. It wasn’t entirely his fault either that he 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. He 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 her to take care of me in the future, so I don’t wish for her to stay far away from me. I’ll give her a call now and ask her to come back home. We can all have a meal together,” Chloe chirped. She 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 she seldom comes home. I rarely see her,” Chloe said, then picked up her phone and called Hilda.

Hilda answered her 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.

Tommy offered to fetch Jared from his house, but the latter rejected him and called for a taxi instead.

During the time when Jared was in jail, Horington had been booming. On his way to the restaurant, he 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 she was walking into the bar with a few other girls.

Isn’t that Hilda? Jared frowned. Didn’t she tell her mom that she had to work overtime? Why is she walking into a bar? Could it be that she 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.
