John only nodded in front of Lady Jennifer in silence and headed straight to the main building. While
Old Mrs. Constance and Sophia were nowhere to be seen downstairs, the maids were busy cooking in
the kitchen. After scanning his surroundings, he proceeded to head upstairs to the bedroom. As soon
as he opened the door, he realized that Sophia was sound asleep in the bed, so he quickly tiptoed into
the room so as to not to wake her up.
Then, John slowly walked closer to Sophia and sat beside her while caressing her hair. Ian’s vacation
has been confirmed. Although it’s not a long one, the break should be enough for him to get all the rest
he wants. When he comes back, it’ll be time for us all to talk about the matter.
Meanwhile, Sophia was sleeping so soundly that John’s presence didn’t even wake her. At the same
time, John was leaning against the nightstand when he received a text message from one of his men
about the answers they had gotten from the interrogation. ‘Those people are not a part of the top
management, so there is nothing much useful they can provide.’ Despite the limited information, John
still had what was needed to move on to his next target. After sending a reply to show his
acknowledgement, he put down his phone.
Then, John noticed Sophia’s phone on the nightstand and he reached for it, noticing a missed call from
Logan. That call only lasted only a few seconds. Although he initially wondered whether the call was
mistakenly made, he quickly dismissed the thought and put it behind him. After that, he continued to
keep Sophia company until the maid came up and informed him that lunch was ready. It was at that
time that the knock on the door woke Sophia up. When she opened her eyes, she caught sight of John
beside her, which scared her quite a bit.
John then got off the bed. “It looks like you were really tired. You slept like a log.”
When John helped Sophia up, she said, “Well, it was a great nap. I’m feeling so much more refreshed
right now.”
Then, John helped Sophia fix her hair while replying, “I’m worried about you, girl. You shouldn’t be
sleeping too much.”
Sophia answered, “Alright. Let’s get downstairs. I’m starving after a nap.”
John was amused by the lady’s response as he found her lovely and adorable. As both of them walked
down the corridor, they ran into Old Mrs. Constance who happened to step out of her room. When the
old lady saw her grandson, she didn’t seem surprised and merely asked, “Didn’t your dad come back
with you?”
In response, John chuckled and hesitated for a while before he said, “Dad? He is probably with Mom
right now.”
Old Mrs. Constance and Sophia were taken aback, and the latter beat the former to it as she asked,
“Really? So, that means Master William has made his move?”
Although John was unsure about Sophia’s question, he believed William was very likely to be with
Matilda at that moment. “I think so.”
That triggered Sophia’s gossipy nature at once. Hastily, she reached for her phone. “I have a phone
call to make, so I’ll join you guys later.” Her sneaky behavior amused Old Mrs. Constance, who jokingly
said, “You’re acting as if both of them are having an affair.”
Sophia burst into laughter as well after hearing Old Mrs. Constance’s words. “Well, I’m too curious to
find out how things are going on over there.”
After that, John helped Old Mrs. Constance walk downstairs, whereas Sophia stood in the corridor and
called Matilda. It took a while for Matilda to answer the call, and when the call connected, Sophia had a
weird feeling, but she seemed to have detected a certain awkwardness in Matilda’s voice. “What’s the
matter, Sophia?”
“Hey, who are you with right now?” Sophia asked in a hushed tone.
To that, Matilda responded with silence, which Sophia quickly understood what that meant. Then,
Sophia laughed it off and asked, “What’s wrong? I thought Richard was going over to dine with you?
Did you stand him up?”
On the other hand, Matilda was scratching her head, wondering how she should explain this to Sophia.
Oh gosh! How am I supposed to put this?
Sophia waited for a while but heard no further response from Matilda. Soon, she figured the latter was
perhaps in a difficult situation to answer a call. Therefore, she merely gave an affirmative grunt and
added, “Alright, I’ll leave you to it first. We’ll talk again soon.” Before she hung up the call, Sophia
cheered Matilda up by saying, “You can do it! I have faith in you!”
