The Man's Decree novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457 Wedding Gift

The car actually belonged to Josephine. Jared did not buy a car as there were plenty to borrow from between the garages of Josephine and Tommy. As a result, Jared always had an arsenal of vehicles at his disposal.

Ingrid nodded impatiently. “There was also talk that you came with a very pretty girl. Is she your girlfriend?”

Jared nodded with a helpless smile. The gossip of village women travels faster than scandals on the Internet!

“Where is she?” Ingrid demanded as she dragged him indoors. “Bring me to her!”

Upon pushing open the front door, they found Hannah and Josephine on the other end ready to receive them.

“Aunt Hannah!” Ingrid called cheerily.

“You’re about to get married in a couple of days, Ingrid. Why are you still out and about?”

“It’s too crowded and noisy at home! I had to come out for a breather.”

Ingrid’s gaze fell onto Josephine, who was standing beside Hannah. “You must be Jared’s girlfriend,” she gasped. “Oh, my. You’re so pretty!”

Despite blushing deeply, Josephine’s heart swelled with warmth at the sincere compliment.

“My name’s Josephine, nice to meet you.” She extended her hand to the younger woman.

“Ingrid.” She offered hers as she took Josephine’s hand. “Nice to meet you, Josephine!”

“Step out of the sun, you kids. Take this conversation indoors,” Hannah said as she stepped through the door. “I’m going over to Ingrid’s.”

The group marched back into the house as Ingrid stared at Josephine with such intent that it made the latter feel uncomfortable.

“Why are you staring at her like that for, Ingrid?” Jared asked, nonplussed.
