Wake Up Leave The Liar novel Chapter 196

Chapter 174

Zark had just hung up when Betty ran to him with her lantern.”Uncle, I want to video chat with Sam!”

Zark was a bit surprised.”Okay.”

Zark called Sam. As soon as the call connected, Betty excitedly said, “Sam, look! My lantern!”

Concerned Sam might not see it clearly, Betty again asked Zark to hold the phone while she moved back a bit, showcasing the whole lantern. The garden lighting was dim, highlighting the lit lantern perfectly.

Before Sam could react, Betty ran back. “It’s a New Year’s gift from my Auntie. Isn’t it pretty and cute?”

Sam couldn’t recall everything from three years ago, but seeing Betty with the lantern triggered some memories.”Yes,” he said. Then he added, “I think I used to play with lanterns too.”

“Really? Don’t you have any now?”

Sam shook his head. Running around with a lantern seemed really fun.”I’ll ask Daddy to buy me one! Don’t hang up. We’ll talk later.”

Before Betty could reply, Sam ran upstairs.

Some of the distant relatives of the Sterlings were visiting for New Year’s Eve. Chase was currently socializing with them. Seeing Sam, he excused himself, taking him aside. “What’s the matter?”

Betty’s auntie got her a lantern, and I want one too.”

“A lantern?”

Not the red ones that hang on the walls.”

Sam picked up the phone and said to Betty, “Betty, show my daddy your lantern.”

“Oh…”

Betty stepped back, showing them the whole lantern.

Chase looked at it, saying to Betty,”Okay, I see. Thank you, Betty.”

Betty smiled. “You’re welcome.”

Chase then spoke to Zark, who was holding the phone.”Any plans later?”

Zark said, I might go out for the New Year’s countdown. And you?”

Til be out later, too.”

Zark was surprised. It was New Year’s Eve; Chase would undoubtedly be with Tanya. He didn’t ask, changing the subject. “Still busy?”

“Yes, we have guests.”

Zark knew about the Sterling family’s situation. As the head of the family, Chase wouldn’t have a relaxing New Year’s Eve.

Zark said, Then you should get back to it.”

‘Okay.’

Before handing the phone back to Sam, Chase paused, smiling.”Happy New Year.”
