Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1931

Andrew had originally planned to visit the Peck residence to check on Victoria. Since she had returned from Goldridge, it was only right for him to show up personally.

However, George kept insisting he stay for a meal. Logan even stood by the door, refusing to let him leave. Left with no choice, he agreed to stay at the Keller residence and figured he would head out after the meal.

At the dining table, George poured Andrew a glass of wine and beamed. "Try this, it's homemade."

Andrew took the glass and downed it in one go. He praised, "That's a really good wine."

George laughed heartily. "You've got a strong stomach for alcohol. I'm too old for that now. I can only take small sips."

Andrew smiled. "Mr. Keller Senior, you're being modest. Everyone in Blumedale knows you're still going strong."

George was clearly pleased and clinked glasses with Andrew a few more times, chatting and laughing along the way. Hannah's matter was finally settling, no longer feeling like a thorn in his side.

Logan shot Andrew a grateful look, deeply moved. This time, Andrew had truly helped the Keller family save face in a big way. After all, if word had gotten out that Hannah had been assaulted, it would have been a complete stain on George's reputation.

Just then, Emily, Freya, and Hannah came out one after another.

"Dad! Andrew! Logan!" Hannah rushed forward first, her carefully touched-up makeup making her face radiant as she politely greeted everyone.

When she passed by Andrew, she casually plopped down right next to him.

Andrew's expression remained unchanged as he said nothing. He had no idea what Hannah was up to, but it did not matter. Once he finished eating, he would be on his way.

Freya sat across from Andrew, her eyes downcast and dim as she remained silent. Meanwhile, Emily picked up the wine bottle and personally poured Andrew a glass.

Andrew quickly tried to decline, "Ms. Emily, please, I can pour for myself."

Emily insisted. "Andrew, I have to toast you with this glass, no matter what. I know you think I'm dumb, arrogant, and just an airhead of a woman. But no matter what, you saved my life and protected my dignity. You also helped Hannah get justice, and I really have no way to repay a favor that big."
