    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. Wace?” 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 rtionship with the Wace family and they had been neighbors.


    “You’re too kind, Mrs. Wace! I’ve watched Hilda grow up too. She’s a very smart and beautiful young


    lady. It would be great if we could be inws!” 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 toe 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 seldomes 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.


    “Nothing. Jared has been released from prison, so I thought maybe you coulde 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 she finished her sentence.


    At once, Chloe’s face turned crimson.


    “It’s okay, Mrs. Wace. 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, he was about to go


    for a stroll when he received a call from Tommy, who wanted to invite him out for dinner.


    Jared had wanted to decline his invitation, but on second thought, he decided to join Tommy, thinking


    that Chloe would probably stay for dinner and that she would surely join his parents in nagging him at


    the dining table.


    Tommy offered to fetch Jared from his house, but thetter 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.
