After some time, John heaved a sigh, deciding not to dwell on his miserable love life anymore. No
amount of overthinking would help the situation, as feelings of sadness and annoyance would persist
regardless of the thinking he did.
It was already afternoon, soon nearing evening, so Zack drove John back to the latter’s house before
leaving. Even from some distance away, John could see Belinda in the main building. She was so
engrossed in the opera while sitting on the sofa that John opted to halt himself from entering.
The house was noisy when Matilda used to live here, so Belinda would spend her time upstairs or in
the courtyard. Now that Matilda was no longer living here, she seemed more relaxed. Not only did
Belinda seem more relaxed, but John observed a similar change in William.
While William used to go upstairs to his bedroom or study after his meals, he would now spend some
time downstairs to watch TV or chat with Belinda. Despite how unfilial it would sound, John couldn’t
help but think his mother’s absence brought his family more peace.
With that in mind, John headed for the living room, during which Belinda observed with a smile while he
did. “You’re early today,” she said as William had yet to come home. John hummed in the affirmative
before replying, “I had some stuff to do while away from the company, so I came home instead of going
back to the company.”
Belinda nodded at his reply. “Let’s talk for a bit.”
As soon as he sat down, Belinda opened up, saying, “John, I was thinking of inviting Sophia over to our
house some time, as I feel like we have done her wrong. Since your mother is not here, will things get
better if we invited Sophia over for a meal?”
John glanced at Belinda before responding with a smile. “Forget it. Sophia won’t accept the invitation.”
In fact, neither was it the best of times to invite Sophia over despite Belinda being partial toward
Sophia, which John could sense. The sole reason behind Belinda’s invitation was to get herself an
opportunity to interact with Sophia, but as he thought, it wasn’t the best of times to do so.
With a sigh, Belinda said, “Oh well, it was all your mother’s fault, or else you wouldn’t have divorced
her.”
John pulled his lips into a thin line before saying, “The divorce had nothing to do with my mom, but
everything to do with me.”
That, he considered as true, for he was the one who came up with the idea. Never did Matilda ever
think of making him divorce Sophia, but a simple mention of it by him somehow got the cogs in her
head turning, which in turn made her so intent on having Isabelle replace Sophia.
Belinda let out a sigh while she regarded him. “You will one day put yourself in an undesirable
situation.”
Her comment made John chuckle. “Nobody is capable of doing that, so don’t you worry.” However, he
wasn’t actually privy to the true intent behind Belinda’s remark, but neither was she about to explain
herself, opting instead to inquire on the company’s situation, which seemed alright as the whole
Constance Family was there to watch over it.
After a while, Belinda dismissed John with a wave of her hand. “You should get some rest. I will get you
when it’s time for dinner.” John gave her a hum before standing to leave for upstairs.
Zack’s call came in when he was ascending the stairs, which informed him of the relatively simple
process of investigating Simon and Sally. Not much effort was needed in order to uncover who they
had been seeing and dealing with as they didn’t make much of an effort to cover their tracks.
However, the results of the investigation showed that neither of the siblings had gotten in contact with
the Pooles, which meant that what happened in Logan’s clubhouse had nothing to do with them. With a
frown, John asked, “Are you sure?”
Zack hummed in the affirmative. “I already knew about it early on, but I had my men double check the
info as I feared that I might’ve gotten the wrong info. Tom Poole, the young master of the Poole Family,
hadn’t been traveling a lot lately, with the only record of his outing being a casual stroll yesterday
morning. The Morgan siblings were in the company during that time, so I’m certain that they didn’t meet
up.”
