Jackson Vance thought about it. Mr. Howard did know him, and he was familiar with his grandfather too. Asking for a favor like this shouldn't be a problem.
Hazel Allison genuinely wanted to learn, and Mr. Howard always liked people who were eager to learn. If Hazel could gain Mr. Howard's favor, maybe his mother's bias against her would lessen a bit.
"Alright, I'll give it a try for you."
Hazel Allison joyfully jumped to hug Jackson Vance. He stroked her hair and laughed, "Why are you still like a child, getting excited and jumping on people?"
She blushed and said, "I only jump on Edward."
Jackson Vance couldn't help but kiss her. If it weren't for the timely knock on the door as the dishes arrived, he might have kissed her even deeper.
