Discussing Marriage

Neil glanced at the clock before he looked at Hazel again. "Did you had dinner with Alex and his family?"

Earlier, his wife had told him that Hazel would not join them for dinner as she will be having dinner at the He's residence. He did not think that Hazel would return home earlier.
