"Summer, when can you get off work?" Mrs. Brightwood couldn't hold back any longer. "No matter how busy you are, there should be time for a dinner together, right? Eight o'clock? Ten o'clock? That's still a time. We can all wait. After all, buying a house is such a big deal. Both families should celebrate and share the joy."
Summer was puzzled. Buying a house?
But she quickly figured it out and asked, "Did Rupert tell you he bought a house?"
"What do you mean he bought a house? Didn't you two buy it together?" Mrs. Brightwood sounded a bit displeased. "Although it's our Brightwood family that paid for it, you're the hostess. The house is yours too. You'll live there in the future, so don't draw such clear lines with Rupert."
She understood now. Rupert had taken the money for the house purchase, but whether he bought it or not, she didn't know. He hadn't informed her.
But for such a big thing... his parents were kept in the dark? They thought she went to buy it with him.
Kind-hearted Summer couldn't stand it!
So while driving, she said to Mrs. Brightwood, "I really don't have time today. How about tomorrow night?"
"Alright, I'll invite your parents then. We'll decide on the place and time tomorrow and contact you again."
"Okay, I'm driving now."
"Alright, drive safely. I won't disturb you anymore." With that, Mrs. Brightwood hung up.
Summer pulled over to the side of the road and found Rupert's phone number. Before he could cancel this card, she dialed his number.
After a short while, Rupert answered, "Hello, Summer." He felt hopeful that she would call him on her own and at dinner time. Was she reconsidering?
"Where are you?" Summer's tone was calm as she directly invited him, "Let's have dinner together."
