"Mrs. Sheldon is very kind; she knew I was pregnant and even reminded me of some precautions during pregnancy." Hazel Allison seemed pleased by the concern from the elder.
Jackson Vance listened and couldn't help but feel compassion. He chatted with her gently for a while and then heard Hazel mention that Mrs. Sheldon had arranged another meeting. This made him think about the Moss Estate's banquet invitation that Nathaniel Hughes sent over today, so he decided to bring Hazel along.
"Hazel, make some time for the Moss Estate's flower appreciation banquet and accompany me there."
As he spoke, he told her the exact date.
"The first of next month? It's only a few days away—Brother Edward, why are you just telling me now? I haven't even prepared a dress." Hazel Allison playfully complained, not surprised that Jackson Vance had received an invitation.
