Chapter 25 Hint

“I’m just kidding!” Josephine chuckled and went into the mansion

Upon hearing that, Jared smiled wryly and followed behind. In fact, he did feel butterflies in his stomachwhen Josephine teased him. I’m just a commoner compared to her. She’s the daughter of the wealthiestman in Horington! How could I ever live up to that!

“Mom, Dad, let me introduce the friend that lent me this mansion. Her name is Josephine Sullivan,” Jaredintroduced Josephine to his parents after they had gotten inside.

The moment Gary and Hannah heard that Josephine was the owner, they both got up from the couchrespectfully.

“Hello! Mr. and Mrs. Chance. It’s nice to meet you. Please forgive me for coming empty-handed. I was ina rush,” Josephine said politely.

“You’re too kind, Ms. Sullivan. We are so grateful for the mansion you’re willing to lend Jared. I’m afraidthat if it weren’t for you, I would never be able to stay in such a luxurious house!” Hannah exclaimedhumbly. “Gary! Go get Ms. Sullivan something to drink!”

“All right!” Gary nodded.

He was flabbergasted when he saw how beautiful Josephine was. Judging by her clothes and aura, shemust be the daughter of someone of high social status. Not only that, she must be from a filthy wealthyfamily. Otherwise, how could she afford this mansion!novelbin

If only Gary knew that Josephine was the daughter of William, the richest man in Horington, he would beeven more shocked.

“It’s okay, Mr. Chance. I’ll help myself!” Josephine went ahead and poured herself a cup of tea.

After that, she even helped Gary and Hannah prepare a cup of chamomile tea each. Since it was herhouse, she knew exactly where everything was.

“Mr. and Mrs. Chance, this is chamomile tea. It helps with your digestive systems. It’s good for elderlies!”Josephine said when she served them.

“You’re too polite, Ms. Sullivan! Although I can’t see you, I can tell that you’re a beautiful and kind lady!Whoever gets to marry you would be the luckiest man on earth!” Hannah exclaimed in a way that shewas hinting at something. Regardless of her status, she must have feelings for Jared. Otherwise, shewouldn’t be so generous toward him.

Hannah was trying to pry some information out of Josephine with her hint.

“Mrs. Chance, you’re overcomplimenting me! I do have my flaws! That’s why Jared doesn’t want me. Hehas even scolded me before!” Josephine was not so gullible as to not see what Hannah was implying.

“Oh, is it?” Hannah paused and waved for Josephine to approach her. “Ms. Sullivan, come here and sitwith me. Actually, Jared is a good guy. It’s just that he can be as stubborn as a mule sometimes. He gotthat from his father! If he were ever to scold you again, let me know. I’ll teach him a lesson!”

Upon hearing that, Josephine burst out into laughter while casting a glance at Jared. “As stubborn as amule?”

Jared was embarrassed when he heard that.

“Mom, stop talking nonsense! She’s a busy person. Don’t keep her around for long!” Jared was trying toget Josephine to leave before Hannah exposed more of his embarrassing stories.

“I’m not busy! I’d love to chat with Mrs. Chance!” Josephine went toward Hannah and sat down besideher.

Hannah was so happy that she couldn’t stop smiling. She then held Josephine’s hands, and they chattedfor more than two hours. Josephine only left when it was getting dark outside.
