The plane landed smoothly at Province Airport.
Jasper had not informed anyone of his return this time. On one hand, he did not think Wendy needed to
travel to the airport to pick him up. On the other hand, he wanted to give Wendy a surprise as well.
Jasper hailed a cab and traveled to the villas at Thornton Park. Jasper was going home.
“Mom, I’m back,” Jasper said tiredly as he entered the house.
“Why didn’t you tell me in advance? Hurry, go take a rest.” Sally came to the door and took Jasper’s
luggage from him. When she placed it aside, she asked warmly, “Have you eaten yet?”
“I just got back from Swallow Capital. I ate on the plane,” Jasper smiled as he answered.
Sally immediately turned and walked toward the kitchen when she heard that. She said, “That must
mean you haven’t had a full meal. I’ll cook you some noodles.”
Jasper knew his mom’s personality. She would nag him endlessly if he did not eat that bowl of noodles,
which was why he did not bother stopping her.
Jasper followed Sally to the kitchen and stood at the door, asking, “Where’s Dad?”
“A distant relative of his passed away, so he went to attend the funeral. He won’t be back for another
two days,” Sally answered while she bustled around the kitchen.
Jasper smiled. “Are you used to living here?”
“It’s fine here, but I don’t know that many people so it’s kind of quiet,” Sally sighed as she spoke.
“Even though I got to know a couple of tenants my age around here, they have to take care of their
grandchildren and don’t have much time to talk to me and ease my boredom. I feel so envious when I
look at their grandchildren. They’re so tiny and cute.”
There was a hidden meaning in Sally’s words.
As she spoke, she glanced at Jasper, trying to convey what she was not saying in words.
Jasper said with difficulty, “Well then, you’ll have to continue being envious. I don’t plan to have kids
anytime soon.”
Jasper’s career was taking off now, and he was growing busier and busier by the day. He needed to
focus all his energy on his work.
Furthermore, he was not even that old. He had not even begun considering marriage, let alone
children…
Sally scowled as she said, “You’re not that young anymore. Wendy is a good girl. You two should hurry
up and tie the knot and have kids soon. I can take care of the child while you two work on whatever you
need to. Isn’t that a good idea? How long are you going to drag this on for?!
“Are you going to wait until I’m so old that I can’t take care of the children anymore?”
Jasper answered, “That’s fine. We’ll just get a nanny.”
Sally nearly threw her spatula at Jasper’s head. “Nonsense! Do you think a nanny can take better care
of a child than me? I’m the kid’s grandma. How could I let someone else take care of my grandchild?”
Jasper smiled bitterly. “We haven’t even begun talking about that. I’ll try my best, alright…”
After he wolfed down his noodles, Jasper immediately bounded out of his chair and ran out the door.
He crept over to the villa where Wendy stayed.
Jasper had been planning to give Wendy a surprise, but he had not expected Wendy to not be at home
today.
She had gone over to Dawson’s place.
“My dad’s blood pressure has been rather high lately and he hasn’t been feeling well. I came over to
take care of him.” Wendy chuckled as she held the phone to her ear and spoke to Jasper.
“You silly thing. You should have just told me you were coming back.”
Jasper sat in the empty villa and sighed as he said, “I wanted to surprise you… Is your dad alright?”
“He’s fine. The doctor said it’s caused by extreme stress and an irregular sleep schedule. He just
needs to rest,” Wendy said gently.
Jasper massaged his forehead as he said, “He’s been really busy lately. The supermarket had a large
expansion recently, and he’s in charge of the real estate business too. I’ll hire some people to assist
him when I have time so that he can relax.”
“I brought it up before, but he refused. He said he doesn’t trust anyone to take care of the business
while it’s still in the early stages. He’s been doing everything himself. Besides, I think there’s been
some trouble going on in the Southface River project,” Wendy sighed as she said.
