Chapter 14

After lunch, Ashton drove Briar home. On the way, he asked if she’d like to have dinner at 7 PM.

Briar was a little caught off guard by how friendly he was. But seeing the hopeful look on his face, she nodded and said yes.

Ashton had never been to the upscale neighborhood where the Jennings family lived. Normally, security would check every visitor’s car.

But his car and plates were so well–known that the guards recognized them instantly.

The head guard even came out to personally greet him and waved him through without asking a single question.

Briar couldn’t help thinking that rich people really did live in a different world.

She told Ashton where to stop. As she got out, she glanced back and said, “See you tonight.”

“See you,” Ashton replied with a slight nod, then drove off before anyone from the Jennings family could spot him.

Edgar was still at work, so only Halle and Beatrice were home. They heard the car pull up and heard Briar talking to someone, so they came out to take a look.

But by the time they reached the gate, the car had already disappeared.

“Who were you talking to just now, Briar? Sounded like a guy,” Beatrice asked, smiling sweetly, but her tone dripped with sarcasm.

“You should learn to carry yourself with more dignity,” Halle added in a scolding voice. “I know you grew up overseas and might be a bit free–spirited, but now that you’re back-”
