The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1573

"We'll be at the restaurant in about half an hour."

"Sounds good. Send me the address; I might swing by if I have time."

Ida, unimpressed with his pretense, hung up the phone.

Ellinor, overhearing this, asked, "What's Chase up to?"

Ida laughed lightly. "He's having dinner with his girlfriend's parents."

A frown crept onto Ellinor's face. "What's he playing at?"

Ida shrugged. "Not sure. He asked for the restaurant's address and said he might join us. Boss, which restaurant are we heading to?"

Ellinor was unsure. "Let's decide where to go first, then send him the address."

Ida agreed. "Alright."

...

Meanwhile, at the Wesley household.

After hanging up the call, Chase put away his phone and turned to help Belinda's mother with the dinner preparations. "Mrs. Wesley, let me help you."

Mrs. Wesley declined politely. "Chase, I heard you on the phone earlier. Do you have some urgent matters to attend to? If so, feel free to go take care of it."

Chase shook his head with a smile. "It's nothing urgent. It’s just a friend inviting me to dinner. Restaurant food tends to be too greasy for my liking. I prefer to eat your home-cooked meals."

Mrs. Wesley was pleased by his flattery. "Then stay here and wait for the dinner I'm preparing for you."

Chase rolled up his sleeves. "Let me help you with the dishes, Mrs. Wesley."

Mrs. Wesley stopped him. "No need. Mr. Wesley and I can handle it. Just relax and watch some TV."
