The Man’s Decree Novel Chapter 63

The Man’s Decree Novel Chapter 63When Kai brought Hilda home, he realized Chloe was still at his house chatting with his parents.
Initially, he had planned to let Hilda regain her composure before sending her back. But now, they had
been sighted.
The moment they saw Kai and Hilda coming home together, Chloe and Gary were surprised. Only the
blind Hannah was oblivious to what had just happened. She asked, “Kai, are you back? Why did you
come home so late?”
Gary quickly gave Hannah’s hand a tug. “Kai is with Hilda. They have returned together.”
Gary was all smiles when he spoke.

going to see Hilda. There’s no need to be so secretive about it. Are you trying to give us a surprise?”
Just when Kai tried to explain, he realized he didn’t even know where to begin.
Only Chloe noticed that Hilda was looking out of sorts as if she had just cried earlier. Knitting her
brows, she asked, “Hilda, did you have to work late? Why did you cry? Moreover, you reek of alcohol.”
Bombarded by Chloe’s questions, Hilda panicked and was lost for words.
“Mrs. Wallace, Hilda wasn’t working overtime. She just went drinking with her colleagues. However,
some of them were trying to get her drunk. Luckily, I happened to be there, so I brought her back
instead.”
Kai quickly cooked up a story.
The moment she heard it, Chloe got to her feet and checked Hilda’s body. With a concerned look in her
eyes, she complained, “What kind of colleagues are they? How could they make you drink when theyknew you have low alcohol tolerance? They went too far.”
When she saw how worried her mother was, Hilda couldn’t contain her emotions any longer. Hugging
Chloe, she burst into tears again.
Chloe comforted, “Hilda, if you’re unhappy at work, why don’t you just quit? Especially since you have
terrible colleagues.”
Chloe thought that her daughter was feeling indignant after being bullied by her colleagues.
After all, Hilda had just started work recently and was considered new. It was common for newcomers
to experience such treatment.
“Hilda, stop crying. At most, you can just quit your job. Tomorrow, Gary is going to get a friend to help
Kai find a job. Why don’t we ask around for you too? Since you’re a university graduate, it shouldn’t be
difficult to find a job,” Hannah quickly reassured Hilda.
Gary added, “I’ll ask him about it tomorrow. It shouldn’t be a problem because he’s an old comrade of
mine.”
The more everyone consoled her, the harder Hilda cried. Unfortunately, only Kai knew the real reason
why she was crying.
Powerless to do anything, Chloe had no choice but to take Hilda home.
“Kai, you should sleep early too. Tomorrow, we’ll take you to Mr. Saunders’ house and get him to find
you a job. We’ll also ask him if he could help Hilda land a job. She really has it tough.” Hannah sighed
before she continued, “You should treat her better instead of bullying her.”
The man Hannah spoke of was Franklin Saunders. He used to serve in the military together with Gary.
Ever since they were discharged from the military, Gary went on to work as a civil servant, whileFranklin used his pension to start a business. As of then, he had done well for himself and was living a
good life.
“Mom, I—”
“Enough. Go to sleep now.”
Not bothered about what Kai had to say, Hannah walked right off.
Kai was in a dilemma. He had always treated Hilda as a sister and never had romantic feelings for her.
But now, he had no idea how to break it to his parents.
Shaking his head in resignation, Kai returned to his room. For the time being, he couldn’t return to
Dragon Bay because he didn’t want to anger his parents.
The next morning, Hannah yelled, “Kai, get up quickly and dress presentably for once instead of
looking sloppy. Mr. Saunders has taken a day off on purpose.”
“I know,” Kai replied as he opened his eyes.
After having a simple breakfast, the three of them left home hurriedly. They hailed a taxi and headed to
Franklin’s house together.
