The Man’s Decree

“Well, if both of them are okay with it, I don’t mind either! Besides, I’ve watched Kai grow up since he was a little boy. It wasn’t entirely his fault either that he was sent into jail.” Chloe suddenly walked into their house with a bowl. “I made this soup myself. Have a taste!”

“Mrs. Wallace?” Kai was surprised to see Chloe. He quickly reached out his hands to receive the bowl.

Ever since they moved to Horington when Kai was still a teenager, the Chance family had had a good relationship with the Wallace family and they had been neighbors.

“You’re too kind, Mrs. Wallace! I’ve watched Hilda grow up too. She’s a very smart and beautiful young lady. It would be great if we could be in-laws!” Hannah stood up and grabbed Chloe to sit with her.

“Hannah, I’d be more than happy if Hilda were to get married to Kai. After all, she’s my only child. I still need her to take care of me in the future, so I don’t wish for her to stay far away from me. I’ll give her a call now and ask her to come back home. We can all have a meal together,” Chloe chirped. She was obviously satisfied with Kai as well.
