A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 876

Chapter 876 Orphan

Jared was spooked when Ingrid suddenly poked her head in front next to him.

“Jared, where is Josephine? Are you cheating on her with another woman? Or did you dump her?” Ingrid whispered.

Although Ingrid was whispering, Lyanna could hear her loud and clear.

“What are you on about? Lyanna is just a friend of mine. Since she’s an orphan, she has nowhere to go on Thanksgiving. That’s why I’ve brought her along.” Jared shot her a glare.

Ingrid was shocked when she found out that Lyanna was an orphan because she didn’t expect to hear that at all.

As for Lyanna, she started sobbing as sadness welled up in her.

Since she was an orphan, she really didn’t have anywhere to go to celebrate. Although Poison King was her nemesis, he was still the person who raised her. Hence, she used to have friends back in Mapleton. Now I have no one else but my sister, Melanie. Where am I supposed to go if I don’t follow Jared?

Ingrid felt awkward and anxious when she saw Lyanna crying out of the blue. “I’m so sorry, Lyanna.”

She then handed a piece of tissue to Lyanna.

“It’s all right. I’m used to it.” Lyanna wiped her tears and flashed a smile.

The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward and quiet in the car.

Soon, the car had entered the Chance family’s village. Since the residents there had never seen a Rolls-Royce before, they were all rather fascinated by it.

“Dad! Mom!” Jared shouted in excitement the moment he entered the yard.

He’d missed his parents dearly after not seeing them for several months.

Hannah and Gary were surprised to see Jared when they came out of the house.

Upon seeing that Jared seemed like telling the truth, Hannah smiled again and walked toward Lyanna. “Hi! It’s so chilly here. Let’s get inside.”

Hannah held Lyanna’s hand and brought her in.

Gary, on the other hand, tapped on Jared’s shoulder and uttered, “Great job, my son!”

With that, Gary went into the house with a profound smile on his face. Jared was rendered speechless on the spot.

They stayed over that night and woke up to a Thanksgiving morning.

It was early in the morning when Hannah woke Jared up. “Jared, your uncle had returned from Summerbank. He’d invited us for lunch in the town. Get up early to get ready, okay? We shall head over earlier.”

“Uncle?” Jared was stumped. Why have I not heard about this uncle of mine before?

“He’s from your second granduncle’s family. They’d gone to Summerbank ages ago, and I heard that their business is doing well there. Perhaps you should get to know them. Who knows if he might be of help one day?” With that, Hannah went back to her errands.
