The Man's Decree

Chapter 63 Old Comrade

When Jared brought Hilda home, he realized Chloe was still at his house chatting with his parents. Initially, he had planned to let Hilda regain her composure before sending her back. But now, they had been sighted.

The moment they saw Jared and Hilda coming home together, Chloe and Gary were surprised. Only the blind Hannah was oblivious to what had just happened. She asked, “Jared, are you back? Why did you come home so late?”

Gary quickly gave Hannah’s hand a tug. “Jared is with Hilda. They have returned together.”

Gary was all smiles when he spoke.

After Hannah heard Gary’s words, her face lit up in delight. “Jared, you could’ve just told us that you were going to see Hilda. There’s no need to be so secretive about it. Are you trying to give us a surprise?”

Just when Jared tried to explain, he realized he didn’t even know where to begin.

Only Chloe noticed that Hilda was looking out of sorts as if she had just cried earlier. Knitting her brows, she asked, “Hilda, did you have to work late? Why did you cry? Moreover, you reek of alcohol.”
