All Chapters of Dare To Love: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Lea, driving her car quickly to get home, finally arrived in less than thirty minutes. Grace, lounging on a lazy chair on their porch while playing with her phone, eagerly greeted her sister's arrival, surprised as it was still too early for the end of an elite party."Hey, why are you back so soon? What's up?" Grace interrogated her sister when Lea exited her car and walked towards the porch."Nothing much. Just felt like coming home, no fixed time to leave, you know," Lea replied casually. She wanted to go to her room and give her heart and mind some rest."Yeah, whatever. But if it were me, I'd wait until the event's over. Or wasn't it fun there?" Grace guessed randomly. Her curiosity always annoyed Lea."I'm just not in the mood. It's not lively enough. Only made one acquaintance, and then he left early. It's annoying, and we didn't even exchange names," Lea finally vented her frustration.Grace widened her eyes, "Huh? You made an acquaintance, and he left without even knowing you

Meanwhile, Daniel returned home, still very upset. The party ended at midnight, and he could only think about Lea. His efforts to enter the costume party were in vain, and he had yet to prepare a mask before leaving because he had no plans to attend. If it were up to him, he would have gone straight to her house and demanded an explanation for her unpleasant behavior. How could Lea treat him like he didn't exist? He felt offended and hurt like never before. Especially by a woman like Lea, a mere accountant. Even a manager from a large company had pursued him and begged for his attention, but he ignored her because he wasn't interested. Now, he was tempted to go to the disco and release his frustration through dancing and drinking. However, a call from Amanda thwarted his plans. She strongly advised Daniel to go home, calm down, and only go elsewhere the next day. Besides, it was already midnight. Initially, Daniel resisted the suggestion. After all, he needed to vent his frustration

Meanwhile, Lea, curious about the person behind the pockmarked mask, tried to find out. She asked Amanda for the contact of the party organizer. Amanda herself didn't know the person but mentioned that there was one active member from the organizing club during the event. She recognized him because he had been to her favorite salon. Lea requested the contact information for that person. Afterward, she mustered up the courage, setting aside any shyness, to get a bit of information about the man who sparked her curiosity and interest. As the ringing tone on the other end stopped, a voice answered, "Hello?" "Yes, hi. I'm sorry, am I disturbing?" Lea asked politely. The soft voice on the other end replied warmly, "Oh, what's up? No worries, feel free to ask. I'm not busy right now." Lea was delighted to hear that and quickly introduced herself, "Thank you so much. I'm Lea. I apologize for being bold earlier, asking for your contact from my friend Amanda. She said you might be able

"How was it, Lea?" Amanda immediately asked when her friend called her after returning from the organizer club's base camp."Nothing," Lea replied, exhaling a heavy breath."Oh no... Is it not in the data?""I don't know if it's there or not, Amanda. The list of door prize winners has complete information, including real names, character costumes, and phone numbers. Still, there's no mention of Mr. Pockmarked at all." Lea said, frustrated."Then, what about the guest attendance book? Was it a dead end too?" Amanda asked, feeling sorry for Lea, who seemed to hope to find the guy even by checking the guest book."There's nothing complete in the guest book either. Many didn't write what character costume they wore," Lea replied.She was lying on her bed after forcing Grace out of her room earlier. Her sister wanted to continue interviewing her, but Lea needed time to calm her mind and console her disappointed heart.Lea wondered what else she could do to find Mr. Pockmarked. All possibil

After helping out at the neighbor's house, Mrs. Anna and Grace returned home. It coincided with their usual dinner time. Mrs. Anna brought a chicken soup from her neighbor's house. So, that evening, in addition to the tilapia with chili and fresh vegetables that Mrs. Anna had prepared since noon, there was also the special chicken soup from the engagement ceremony."Wow, the smell of the soup is delicious, Mom," commented Mr. Adam when his wife served it on the dining table."Yes, Dad. This was cooked by Kylie's sister-in-law. Mama tasted it there, it's delicious indeed. I even asked for the recipe. It's the same, but somehow the result is so tasty. Maybe because there's a lot of meat, bones, and marrow in it, making the seasoning more flavorful," Mrs. Anna answered enthusiastically."True, Mom. The dish that I tasted earlier was also really delicious. It was also cooked by Kylie's aunt. She said she owns a restaurant in her hometown. No wonder everything tastes so good." Grace added
