Tale of a Hedonistic wizard

Chapter 150: Old friends



He pulled the car into the path leading to the main entrance. He stopped in front of the main door, and she got out.

Chanel insisted,"come inside, Jaegar." Her words slipped out in a manner that implied something else, making Jaegar laugh at the unintended innuendo.

It was the way she said made him laugh.

Chanel couldn't help but shoot him a playful glare, knowing exactly what she had implied.

Then she said, "Don't. Serirously Jaegar."  Then she mentioned needing to change, put on makeup, and tidy up.  "It takes time for me to get ready. So come on in and wait."

Jaegar chuckled in response to her suggestion. Then he thought it might be better that way, as women really take their time getting ready.

Jaegar agreed to go inside with her.

Inside the house, Chanel called out to her mother, announcing her arrival.

"Mum, I'm home."

She then headed upstairs to her room, promising she would be back in a few minutes. "I'll be out in a couple of minutes."

Jaegar helped himself, walking into the hall and taking a seat in the hall, patiently waiting for her.

Soon a woman, dressed in high-waisted jeans and a stylish pullover, sauntered into the hall. Her hair cascaded in loose curls, and she exuded an air of sultriness and seductiveness. She sized up Jaegar with a raised eyebrow, her tone playful yet probing.

"Now who might you be, one of her boyfriends?" She inquired with a hint of mischief in her eyes.

'Damn!' His voice rang in his head, seeing her. His eyes fell right on the rack she carried, and unlike her daughter, she was well endowed with some fine assets.

"Actually, we were schoolmates," Jaegar replied with a charming smile. He extended his hand, which Chanel's mother shook warmly. When he gallantly kissed her palm, her eyes twinkled with a hint of intrigue.

Jaegar stood up, offering a polite smile, and extended his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you," he said sincerely.

Her initial curiosity piqued, and the woman accepted Jaegar's handshake. "Likewise," she replied with a warm smile. "I'm Elizabeth, Chanel's mother."

As they exchanged pleasantries, Jaegar couldn't help but admire the elegant yet cozy interior of Chanel's home. The soft lighting and tasteful decorations created a welcoming atmosphere. He knew Chanel came from a well-off family, but her mother's warmth made him feel right at home.

Chanel descended the stairs, her transformation complete. She wore an elegant dress that accentuated her slender figure, and her makeup was expertly applied, highlighting her natural beauty. Her radiant smile showcased her excitement for the evening.

Her mother glanced between the two with a knowing smile, and Chanel rolled her eyes playfully.

"Sorry for the wait, Jaegar," she said, her eyes meeting his appreciative gaze.

Jaegar was momentarily captivated by Chanel's striking appearance but quickly composed himself. "No need to apologize; you look stunning."

Chanel's mother observed the exchange with a knowing smile. "Well, it looks like you two are ready for a great evening. Have fun and stay safe, you two."

As they made their way to the party, Jaegar and Chanel chatted comfortably in the car.

Chanel guided him on the route to Brady's house, as he was the one who was arranging the party.

After a drive for an hour, they reached the city's outskirts, where they reached a grand manor in the middle of 10 acres of land. The gates opened themselves as they stopped in front of the gate.

Jaegar steered the car inside to get a view of the whole manor house, which was glowing in full light around the mansion. It was a three-story Victorian-style manor with intricate architectural details and a beautifully landscaped garden. Jaegar couldn't help but admire the grandeur of the house as they parked the car in front of the entrance.

As they parked the car in the parking space, Jaegar and Chanel walked to the entrance.

It seems like everyone has already gathered.

A man dressed in buttler clothing received them and guided them to the pool area, where everyone was gathered.

As soon as they entered, Jaegar attracted the gazes of all. Some didn't recongnized him, but a few did.

Jaegar could see some familiar faces among them, and a young man came towards Jaegar and punched him in the chest. "You are still alive?"

"Alive and well." Jaegar smiled, taking him into a friendly embrace. "It's been too long, Liam." Liam grinned and replied, "When was the last time I saw you, mate?" in a hug.

"Don't know, but it's been long."

"Long enough that you forget about your friends."

Jaegar smiled, trying to shy away. Then Liam said, "I swung by your place a couple of times, but you weren't there. Your aunt said that you were away."

Liam turned to Chanel and said, "Now, this is a surprise."

He then glanced at Jaegar and gave a mysterious grin.

Chanel then said, "Guys, I am gonna meet others."

Nodding their heads, Liam swung his hand over him and said, "Mate, how did you end up with her?"

"I want details."

Jaegar sighed and said, "I only met her today, and she got me here."

"I have been busy with things at home, I actually forgot. Sorry mate." Jaegar said.

"No worries," Liam replied. "It's just good to see you here."

They turned to see Chanel standing with a few girls, and then someone came and hugged her. It was a friendly hug. Liam said, "See there."

Jaegar saw the one beside Chanel, and Liam said, "Brady, he still hasn't changed."

Jaegar added, "She said they broke up."

"Yeah, but who knows, they practically glued together back in high school, remember?"

Liam turned to him and said, "Enough about them and tell me about you."

Then the two of them walked away from the group and chatted for a while.

Throughout the night, Jaegar noticed how Chanel effortlessly charmed those around her.

As the hours passed, Jaegar found himself engaged in animated conversations with Liam and his friends, connecting with them again.

At one point during the evening, Chanel took Jaegar by the hand and led him to a quieter area of the garden. The soft glow of string lights illuminated their path as they strolled together.

"I'm so glad you came tonight, Jaegar," Chanel said, her voice filled with sincerity. "It's been ages since I've had this much fun."

Jaegar smiled, his gaze fixed on her. "I'm glad too, Chanel. It's been a great evening."

"You know, the girls were all wondering if you were single. They were truly surprised to find that you were Jaegar."

Jaegar only smiled and said, "Well, I suppose I've kept a low profile. But yes, I am single."

They reached a quiet spot, it was a secluded bench under a canopy of trees. The soft glow of the moon illuminated their surroundings, creating a serene atmosphere.

Chanel talked about her college life and other things.

They continued to talk, their conversation ranging from shared memories of their school days to their hopes and ambitions for the future. Time seemed to slip away as they enjoyed each other's company.

As the night drew to a close, they returned to the bustling heart of the party. The music played on, and the laughter of their friends filled the air.

When it was finally time to leave, Jaegar said his goodbyes and was leaving with Liam, and that's when Chanel came to them and said, "Can you drop me off at my home?"

"Sure."

Then three of them made their way to the car.

Seeing the car, Liam exclaimed, "Jaegar! What the fuck, man, when did you buy this beauty?"

"It's my aunt's car."

Liam quickly got in, looked at the interior, and talked continuously.

Jaegar, listening to him, steered the car out of the parking lot and onto the road.

The city was quieter now, the streets illuminated by the soft glow of streetlights.

As they drove through the familiar streets, the events of the evening replayed in Jaegar's mind. He realized that, in the midst of chaos and uncertainty, he had found a moment of solace and connection.

With a contented smile, Jaegar dropped Chanel off at her house. They exchanged promises to meet again soon before bidding each other goodnight.

After dropping her off, Liam and Jaegar went back to the city, had a few drinks, and talked a lot.

Liam and Jaegar spent hours at the bar, enjoying each other's company and sharing stories from their school days. The night was filled with laughter and reminiscing about old friends and past adventures. They ordered another round of drinks, and as the clock struck midnight, they realized it was time to call it a night.

Jaegar settled the bill, and they stumbled out of the bar, their laughter echoing through the emptying streets. The cool night air hit them as they stepped outside, and they took a moment to collect themselves.

"Man, it's been a hell of a night," Liam said, leaning against a lamppost.

Jaegar nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it was good to catch up with you, Liam."
