As both of them remained silent, Sophia got a call from Old Mrs. Constance, who said she was already
done with consulting the High Priest. After telling her where she was, Sophia made her way back to
meet up with John. As soon as she saw her own grandson, Old Mrs. Constance paused and smiled. “I
thought you said you didn’t have time.”
“I managed to find some time here,” John responded with an affirmative hum.
Old Mrs. Constance nodded, ready to make a move, since there was nothing else important to do at
the monastery. Although she initially planned to eat a little something there, it appeared that she was
no longer in the mood for that anymore, so the few of them later proceeded to leave the mountain. In
fact, they didn’t stay at the monastery for long until they left, which Sophia reckoned was because Old
Mrs. Constance got an answer she didn’t like to hear from the High Priest. If it weren’t for that, Old Mrs.
Constance wouldn’t leave so soon. As soon as they entered the car, Sophia asked the old lady what
she learned from the tarot card reading.
Old Mrs. Constance evasively answered, “Let’s just say I believe that our fate is in our own hands.”
Upon hearing that reply, Sophia understood what that meant. While John drove everyone toward the
city, Old Mrs. Constance suggested that they should have lunch together, to which Sophia politely
rejected. “I’m sorry that I can’t join you guys because I’m needed at my shop. My business is about to
start, and there is a lot I need to attend to.”
Old Mrs. Constance knew that was just an excuse, but before she could say anything, John beat her to
it and said, “Alright then, go ahead and do what you should. We could always eat another time after
you’re done with your business.”
The man’s reply caught Old Mrs. Constance by surprise, as she didn’t expect him to let Sophia leave
like that. Soon, John stared at his grandma from the rear mirror, forcing her to keep quiet. Meanwhile,
Sophia heaved a sigh of relief and responded with an affirmative hum, whereupon she got out of the
car upon arrival. With her eyes set on the plaque, Old Mrs. Constance frowned and said, “I don’t like
the name of her shop.”
John leaned on his chair as he watched Sophia entering the shop. “Well, it may not sound like a perfect
name, but Sophia likes it, and that’s all that matters.”
Old Mrs. Constance let out a sigh and said, “She is still mad at you.”
John smiled and said, “That’s exactly what I hope because it at least shows that she still cares.” After a
short while, John drove off with the Old Mrs. Constance as she uttered, “Your dad has been caught up
in some business in the past two days, but I don’t know what to say about both of you.”
“What’s wrong with my dad?” John sounded surprised.
Surprised, Old Mrs. Constance asked, “Don’t you know? Your dad has been coming home late recently,
and it’s not because of work.” Then, she let out a sigh with a gloomy look on her face. From the way
Grandma looks, this matter doesn’t seem to bode well. Soon, she added, “Keep this matter to yourself
so that you won’t feel upset when you hear this from someone else later on.”
“So, this matter has something to do with my dad. Alright, I’m all ears,” John said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Constance sighed and said, “Something bad has happened to the woman who was going to
marry your dad but went back on her word later. She is now lying in the hospital, and your dad has
been visiting her for the past two days. I heard there is no one else taking care of her, which is why he
keeps going there. I didn’t ask him why he is doing that because he is already an adult, so he should
know what he is doing.”
John paused, as he had never heard about this matter before. So, it’s true that Dad has been coming
home late for something personal instead of work. After that, John gave an affirmative reply and added,
“Like you said, he is a grown man, and I trust he knows what he is doing.”
