A Graduation Gift
Chapter 14 Walked Into The Wrong Room
Inside the Tang mansion, the rooms were lit up brilliantly.
When Rufus and Cassandra returned home, they saw Horace and Jill casually drinking tea in the living room.
The older pair looked up. As soon as Horace spotted Rufus, he greeted him with a splendid smile and open arms.
"Rufus! Good to see you. Have you had your dinner already? Would you like to eat something?"

Surprised to see them standing so close that their shoulders almost touched, Jill lashed out at Cassandra. Her blatant stare made Cassandra quiver with unease.
She had to look away in order to avoid further questions. Acting composedly was the only way to avoid exposing the truth.
"Well, I was hanging out with some friends tonight. I happened to come across Rufus at the pub's exit. So we came home together. It's no big deal."
