Chapter 224 A Veritable Goddess
“Darling, c-can you really see now?”
With shock etched on his face, Gary stretched out his hands and waved them in her face.
In response, Hannah nodded vigorously. “Yes, I can see! You don’t need to wave your hands before me. Also, I told you to shave your beard daily! Look at how unkempt you are!”
Gary touched his beard, elation instantly showing on his face. He promptly hugged Hannah. “This is great, Darling! This is amazing! You can really see!”
Despite being an egotistical man, he was so emotional at that moment that his eyes turned red-rimmed.
A gratified smile bloomed on Jared’s face at the sight of his parents’ joy. Ever since he was young, he had never seen them quarreling. Indeed, his father was egoistic and a tad overbearing. However, he could see the man’s feelings for Hannah though the latter wasn’t prone to exhibiting them.
“What are you doing? Jared is still here!”
Hannah pushed at Gary shyly.
“Haha… Come, I’ll take you outside to enjoy the scenery, Darling! It’s very much lovely!”
Laughing heartily, Gary started heading out while dragging her along for a gander at the scenery on the mountain.
“What is it that has you all in such high spirits?”
Josephine descended the stairs after changing into a white dress.
Hearing her voice, Hannah cast her gaze over. When she caught sight of Josephine, she was wholly stunned. She had envisaged Josephine’s countenance countless times, sure that she had to be a knockout since she was an heiress and her voice was melodic.
Still, she was stupefied at that very moment as she looked at Josephine. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s a veritable goddess!
“Josephine, y-you’re simply too beautiful!” she couldn’t help lauding.
Josephine, who was going down the stairs, inexorably froze for a moment upon hearing her compliment. “Mrs. Chance, you… you can see now?”
“Yup, I can see now! I once visualized how beautiful you are, but you’re far more stunning than I could ever imagine! In fact, you’re a goddess!” Hannah gushed, stepping forward and taking her hands.
At that, Josephine’s face flushed bright red. “Don’t flatter me such, Mrs. Chance! I might get big-headed!”
“I’m not flattering you. You’re really too beautiful! Let me have a good look at you!”
Hannah scrutinized her intently, making her all the more embarrassed.
“Mom, Dad wants to bring you out to enjoy the night view, no? It has just stopped raining, so hurry up and go take a look. It’s really exquisite!” Jared said to Hannah.
Josephine is probably going to be unnerved if she continues staring at her!
“Yes! I’ll bring you out for a look! You can see the night view of the whole of Horington here. It’s mesmerizing!” Gary enthused, walking forward and grabbing Hannah’s hand.
The moment Hannah heard him, the urge to do so seized her. She turned to Josephine and murmured, “Josephine, it’s late now, so just stay the night here. There’s no need to leave. I’ll cook you breakfast tomorrow!”
After she had been dragged away by Gary, Jared eyed Josephine and inquired, “Are you really planning to stay the night here?”
Josephine nodded in response. “Of course I am! I’m going up to sleep. Remember to wake me if I oversleep tomorrow.”
Jared looked on as she ascended the stairs. The further she went, the more of her creamy thighs were bared. Reflectively swallowing, he spun around and hurried to his own room. He dared not feast on that vista any longer in fear that he couldn’t control himself.
When Josephine noticed that he had left, she snapped her head back and pouted angrily. “What a moron!”
Early the following morning, Jared was still absorbed in his cultivation.
Having obtained the Starry Compass, his cultivation speed escalated significantly.
He was determined to catch up on the cultivation he had missed recently.
Alas, he needed all the more resources as his capabilities grew.
Throughout the entire night, he had consumed a large portion of the resentment and spiritual energy accumulated in the Starry Compass, yet his capabilities hadn’t improved all that much.
Worse still, it even paled in comparison to the meat reishi mushroom back then.
