Chapter 419 A Family

Under Josephine’s intense scrutiny, Jared couldn’t help but feel exasperated. Sometimes, I genuinely can’t understand what’s going through a woman’s mind.

“I was just curious as to why she isn’t here to keep you company,” Jared explained.

“Lizbeth has her work to attend to. She can’t possibly keep me company every day. She has been skipping work for the past few days to stay with me. Have you handled all your matters in Summerbank? Why don’t we return to Horington tomorrow? I feel ill at ease leaving my dad alone at home,” Josephine said bitterly.

“Oh, if you still have things to settle, we can remain here for a few more days. I was simply making a suggestion,” Josephine hastily added when she noticed the troubled look that marred Jared’s face.

Smiling, he voiced, “It’s all right. I can take you back to Horington tomorrow. However, I won’t be staying there for long as I still have unfinished business here.”

After careful consideration, Jared decided that it would be a good idea to send Josephine back to Horington. She’ll be much safer there. If she remains in Summerbank, the members of the Crescent Sect and the Fergusons might come looking for trouble.
