Life at the Top

Chapter 80

Sally went to make dinner with a happy chuckle.

Wendy turned to Jasper with a proud look.

Jasper chuckled. ‘This woman’s getting cuter by the second.’

…

Dinner consisted of chicken, a few vegetable dishes, and soup.

Jasper and his family sat around the dining table. The atmosphere had lightened greatly and Wendy was no longer as nervous as she was before. In fact, she began to actively lighten the mood.

Charlie spoke more now that Wendy was here, and he would ask her some questions from time to time.

The lady was smart, for she did not tell the whole story. Instead, she merely said that her family did business and she worked for Commercial Bank.

As far as ordinary families were concerned, a lady with such a family background was the most suitable for their son.

Not to mention that Wendy was a beautiful lady, and both Sally and Charlie were extremely pleased with her.

Jasper drank with Charlie and said, “Dad, these years… I’ve troubled the two of you too much.”

Charlie did not even raise his head. “What are you talking about? It’s part of our life as your parents.”

Jasper chuckled bitterly. “I’ve broken up with Penelope already.”

Wendy’s ears immediately perked up at the topic.

“That’s good, then.” Charlie was pleased. “This girl is way better than Penelope.”

“Wendy and I are still getting to know each other. We haven’t gotten together yet. But it’s only a matter of time before we do.”

“Come back with us tonight, Dad. I bought a new house, we can live together,” Jasper suggested.

“No.”
