The Man’s Decree

Chapter 419

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.

When Jared heard this, a slight frown graced his forehead. Since he hadn’t accumulated enough money and was yet to get his hands on the medicinal herbs he was reluctant to leave Summerbank so soon. Additionally, Jared planned to drop by the Martial Arts Gathering that would be taking place next week.

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.
