After seeing John’s agitated reaction, Owen stood up in a panic. “Hey, wait!” Nevertheless, John stomped off with
Sophia, ignoring Owen who was calling out to him. Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Constance sat on the couch with a darkened
look just as Owen awkwardly met her gaze. “That’s not what I meant, Mom! You guys are getting the wrong idea!”
Wrong idea or not, you can’t take back your words anymore. Disappointed with Owen and his wife, Old Mrs.
Constance lectured both of them. “I don’t understand what you both are doing. Must you both always give
everyone a headache? Dylan is a grown man, so stop treating him like a kid. He is mature enough to make his own
life decisions. As for you, Jennifer, do you really think we’re too dumb to read between the lines when you threw
those hints at Sophia? Do you know that you’re only making Dylan feel even more awkward?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing that, Lady Jennifer was instantly tongue-tied as she guiltily rubbed her hands. In the meantime,
Samuel only watched aside in silence until it was the right time for him to speak. Then, he changed the subject and
said, “Owen, I’m sure you want to restore peace in your family, so this is the time for you to let go. Dylan is old
enough to make his own decisions, and you guys need to treat him as an adult, not a child. You’re only going to get
on his nerves for interfering with his every decision.”
In response, Owen nodded. Then, in a much softer voice than earlier, he said, “Alright, I heard you.”
On the other hand, Sophia and John returned to the main building and entered the dining area. Then, Sophia had
the maid serve her another plate of hot food before she started eating. Even though she didn’t take that matter to
heart, John’s anger got the better of him. He was seen picking up the fork and spoon shortly before he put them
down on the table again.
Sophia looked askance at him.
“Seriously?” Impressed with Sophia’s magnanimity, John said, “How can you remain so calm?” “Why should I get
worked up over it? This has nothing to do with me at all. My conscience is clear, and I don’t give two hoots about
what other people think of me,” Sophia replied with a smile. She knew that the matter would have escalated further
if she had poked her nose in it. For that, she decided to say nothing about it, deeming silence as the best way to
deal with it. John stared at Sophia for a while and laughed all of a sudden. “Maybe you’re right.” Then, he picked up
the fork and knife once more. “What am I doing? Losing my appetite over something so trivial. It’s not worth it.”
After the meal, Old Mrs. Constance still hadn’t returned, so Sophia and John decided to head upstairs first. Then,
John changed his clothes and made his way to the study. Meanwhile, Sophia didn’t bother asking him what he would
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbe doing, for she knew that he would probably be busy until the night. Therefore, she sat on the bed and scrolled
her phone before she received a call from Logan. Sounding a little tipsy, Logan blabbered loudly on the other side
as he asked what Sophia was doing. Sophia was slightly surprised by Logan’s tone as she asked, “What’s the matter
with you? Are you in a bad mood now? Did Miss Hunt give you an attitude again?” Logan replied with a haughty
snort and said, “Nothing to do with her! In fact, I’ll never get upset because of her!” Yeah, yeah. Keep telling
yourself that, Logan. Sophia brushed him off with an indifferent grunt before she showed her concern toward her
friend. “You don’t sound too happy. Do you want to tell me your problem?” Rather than calling it showing concern
for her friend, she just wanted to get some gossip material from him. .
