Chapter 27

At dinner time.

Lucian’s aunt, Cora Lindberg–Hamilton, was the last to arrive. When she walked in alone, Carler asked in displeasure, “Where’s Jason?”

“He said he’s going to a birthday party for a female classmate.”

“Okay.” Cora Lindberg–Hamilton replied, but she didn’t seem as happy as the old man. She knew her son too well to have high hopes.

Sitting nearby, Allison was taken aback by the conversation.

Lately, she hadn’t seen Jason because of her busy schedule. But she’d heard rumors at school that Jason was seeing a girl named Audrey.

So, it was true.

Well, that was good. At least he won’t bother her anymore, and she won’t have to keep making excuses to reject him.
