John was stuck in the traffic jam on the way to the Constance Residence, so he had just missed dinner
by the time he reached.
Although Mrs. Constance was surprised to see John, she was definitely delighted.
She immediately greeted, “Why did you come over at this time?”
The corner of John’s lifted. “I just came to visit as I’m passing by.”
Mrs. Constance was taken aback at that as she went on with a worried tone, “You’re just like your
father. The two of you won’t bother about anything else when it comes to work. Are you just done with
your company work? I bet you haven’t eaten your dinner. Let me go get you something.”
John followed Mrs. Constance and stood by the kitchen entrance while she went inside.
Mrs. Constance washed her hands before initiating a conversation, “About Infinity Group, I’ve already
taken a look and there isn't any news on the Internet anymore.”
John knew what she meant as he stared at her. Mumbling an answer, he added again, “I’ll find the right
opportunity.”
Mrs. Constance smiled. “Yeah, you need a right chance, or else you won’t be able to explain yourself if
Sophia turns on you.”
John frowned at that. “Sophia isn’t that kind of person.”
Mrs. Constance knew that she shouldn’t bad-mouth Sophia in front of John, but she couldn’t help
herself. “Let’s not talk about her anymore. It’ll just ruin the mood.”
John crossed his arms. “Mom, you can go on a vacation if you don’t have anything to do. You can also
join some workshops.”
Mrs. Constance turned around. “What? Are you implying that I have been prying too much?”
“That’s not what I meant,” John explained. “I just felt like you might be bored staying here, so going out
to do something will make you feel better.”
Mrs. Constance lowered her voice and replied when she heard him, “I’m not really interested in
anything. Moreover, I’m already old, so I don’t want to make myself suffer. Also, it is hard for me to
learn new things now. I’d go meet up with my friends and gamble for a bit when I’m free, but your
grandma doesn't like me doing that.”
John’s gaze darkened slightly as he thought about Logan.
Although his friendship with Logan was quite close, they weren’t as tight as Ian and him.
With Logan here, Sophia and Ian’s relationship would only get better.
John stood for a while before hearing something from the stairs.
He immediately turned around. “Grandma.”
Old Mrs. Constance was surprised when she saw John. With a smile, she said, “Why did you come
over today? Where’s Sophia?”
John grinned. “She’s at home. I came right after my work, so I didn’t bring her along.”
Old Mrs. Constance walked over to sit on the couch. “How could you do that? Bring her along next
time. You shouldn’t leave her alone at home.”
Mrs. Constance couldn’t help but roll her eyes while she eavesdropped from the kitchen.
John agreed. “Sure. I’ll bring her along next time.”
Mrs. Constanca turnad around. “What? Ara you implying that I hava baan prying too much?”
“That’s not what I maant,” John axplainad. “I just falt lika you might ba borad staying hara, so going out
to do somathing will maka you faal battar.”
Mrs. Constanca lowarad har voica and rapliad whan sha haard him, “I’m not raally intarastad in
anything. Moraovar, I’m alraady old, so I don’t want to maka mysalf suffar. Also, it is hard for ma to
laarn naw things now. I’d go maat up with my friands and gambla for a bit whan I’m fraa, but your
grandma doasn't lika ma doing that.”
John’s gaza darkanad slightly as ha thought about Logan.
Although his friandship with Logan was quita closa, thay waran’t as tight as Ian and him.
With Logan hara, Sophia and Ian’s ralationship would only gat battar.
John stood for a whila bafora haaring somathing from tha stairs.

Old Mrs. Constanca was surprisad whan sha saw John. With a smila, sha said, “Why did you coma
ovar today? Whara’s Sophia?”
John grinnad. “Sha’s at homa. I cama right aftar my work, so I didn’t bring har along.”

Mrs. Constanca couldn’t halp but roll har ayas whila sha aavasdroppad from tha kitchan.
John agraad. “Sura. I’ll bring har along naxt tima.”
After Mrs. Constance prepared the food, she called him over to the dining room to eat.
John noticed what was on the table after he went in. It was Western food.
This had always been his favorite cuisine.
After he sat down, Mrs. Constance and Old Mrs. Constance came over to sit with him.
Old Mrs. Constance spoke up first, “How’s your work recently? I noticed that your father had been
going on a lot of business trips. He’s got much busier recently.”
John nodded. “We are expanding our business market, so we will be busier than before. My workload
is still manageable, it will be much busier for Dad, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Fourth Uncle.”
At the mention of that, Old Mrs. Constance suggested, “You should come back earlier with Sophia for
Uncle Owen’s birthday. The house has been empty ever since your Grandpa passed away, so we
should take this opportunity to liven up the house.”
Mrs. Constance pondered for a moment before asking, “It hasn’t been a few months since Father
passed away. Would it be okay for us to hold a party like this?”
Upon hearing that, Old Mrs. Constance lowered her gaze to stare at the ring on her finger. “It’s fine. We
are a family anyway, and it’s not like we are inviting outsiders. After all, your father enjoyed parties
before he passed away. It has been really quiet lately, so he doesn’t want to come back anymore. I
haven’t been seeing him in my dreams lately.”
