Chapter 193 Feeling a bit embarrassed, | Immediately declined, “No need. Jason's still in the hospital, so | won't be having lunch here. I'll definitely swing by sother tto check out your cooking.” “Hospitals have caregivers, and I've already told the kitchen to pack a meal for Jason to be sent over.” Sibyl was more enthusiastic than | expected, “Just relax and have your meal here.” Thinking about the situation with Cecilia, | made up an excuse, “Jason likes staying quiet, and he gets awkward with others around; | really don’t feel right leaving him.” “Oh, I see.” Sibyl glanced at the clock on the wall and suggested, “Ms. March, How about I have the kitchen fire up right now, and you can take lunch to Jason afterwards?” With her insisting tand again, it would be kind of rude to refuse further, so | awkwardly agreed.

Just then, a sweet greeting cfrom the entrance, “Mom, Hogan and | are back!” I looked up and sure enough, there were Hogan and Cecilia walking in through the front door.

What caughtoff guard was that Hogan wasn’t in his usual suit and tie, but in a light grey tracksuit, which matched Cecilia's soft pink one toa T.

It was clear to anyone that they were wearing a his-and-hers outfit.

The guy was also lugging bags of goodies, apparently to pay homage to his future in-laws.

Cecilia, with her sharp eyes, spottedimmediately with her wide, beautiful almond eyes, and exclaimed in surprise, “Xaviera, what are you doing here?” Before | could answer. Sibyl chipped in, “Ms. March cespecially to visit me. What a coincidence, but weren't you and Mr. Zade going to eat out? What brings you back so suddenly?” Cecilia glanced shyly at Hogan and confessed, “Hogan said he missed Dad's twice-cooked pork; how could I not indulge his craving?” The young girl's voice was tender and coquettish; clearly she was playing the doting girlfriend.

Seeing this, Sibyl looked at Cecilia with satisfaction, then turned to Hogan with a chuckle, “What a coincidence, Ms. March also ordered that dish. Don’t worry, I'll make sure everyone is well taken care of today.” “By the way, Mom,” Cecilia lifted a small gift box with a dimpled smile, “Hogan picked out a jade piece for you at the jewelry counter; have a look, do you like the design?” Sibyl’s face lit up with a pleasantly surprised look. “There's a gift fortoo?” “Of course,” Cecilia's almond eyes were full of affection as she tenderly looked at Hogan, “Aunt 11:38 Chapter 193 Hilary toldearlier that when you have time, she’d like to invite you for afternoon tea, and Hogan has agreed.” Hearing this, | felt my heart skipped a beat.

With Hilary being so picky, could it mean she’s fully accepted Cecilia as her daughter-in-law if she invited Cecilla’s mother for afternoon tea? Was this Hilary's own Idea, or was it orchestrated by Hogan? As | was pondering. | heard Sibyl ask, “I'm fine with it, but we need to see what Mrs. Zadel thinks.” She paused, with her gaze landing on Hogan's face, “How about tomorrow afternoon?”
