Chapter 27

Two days later.

Gwendolyn had prepared the herbal tea early for Howard.

After getting ready, she slipped into a floral dress and draped a white coat over her shoulders, looking even more vibrant and enchanting.

“Mr. Chadwick, I’m heading out,” she said to Howard lounging on the living room couch, engrossed in a TV show.

“I’m going to visit my grandma first. The doctor said she’s getting better, and I’m really happy about that.”

“Well.”

As Howard watched her skirt swish cheerfully on her way out, he grabbed his phone and dialed Nathan, “The secret meeting tonight is transferred to Palate Paradise.”
