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.
