Honorable Hubby Behind Me

Chapter 77

At dinnertime, Godfrey received a phone call. No one knew what he and the caller were talking about, but his expression slowly contorted into a grimace.

After he hung up, he looked as though he wanted to speak, but could not bring himself to say anything. Lydia piped up after gauging the situation. "If it requires us to spend money, we won't go."

"Fred Turner called me. He's inviting us over to his new house," Godfrey said. A house-warming party meant that they needed to provide a gift, but trying to get money when his wife was in such a state was akin to asking her to commit suicide. However, Fred had personally called him. It would be rude to not show up.

"Did Uncle Turner move?" Yvonne asked.

Fred was an old classmate of Godfrey's. The two had been close buddies before, where Fred had even wanted Yvonne to be his daughter-in-law. The two had grown apart after Samuel married into the Sues though.
