Female Novel
Chapter 1063
After seeing John’s agitated reaction, Owen stood up in a panic. “Hey, wait!” Nevertheless, Johnstomped off with Sophia, ignoring Owen who was calling out to him. Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Constancesat on the couch with a darkened look just as Owen awkwardly met her gaze. “That’s not what I meant,Mom! You guys are getting the wrong idea!”
Wrong idea or not, you can’t take back your words anymore. Disappointed with Owen and his wife, OldMrs. Constance lectured both of them. “I don’t understand what you both are doing. Must you bothalways give everyone a headache? Dylan is a grown man, so stop treating him like a kid. He is matureenough to make his own life decisions. As for you, Jennifer, do you really think we’re too dumb to readbetween the lines when you threw those hints at Sophia? Do you know that you’re only making Dylanfeel even more awkward?”
Upon hearing that, Lady Jennifer was instantly tongue-tied as she guiltily rubbed her hands. In themeantime, Samuel only watched aside in silence until it was the right time for him to speak. Then, hechanged the subject and said, “Owen, I’m sure you want to restore peace in your family, so this is thetime for you to let go. Dylan is old enough to make his own decisions, and you guys need to treat himas an adult, not a child. You’re only going to get on his nerves for interfering with his every decision.”
In response, Owen nodded. Then, in a much softer voice than earlier, he said, “Alright, I heard you.”
On the other hand, Sophia and John returned to the main building and entered the dining area. Then,Sophia had the maid serve her another plate of hot food before she started eating. Even though shedidn’t take that matter to heart, John’s anger got the better of him. He was seen picking up the fork andspoon shortly before he put them down on the table again.
Sophia looked askance at him. “Seriously?”
Impressed with Sophia’s magnanimity, John said, “How can you remain so calm?”
“Why should I get worked up over it? This has nothing to do with me at all. My conscience is clear, andI don’t give two hoots about what other people think of me,” Sophia replied with a smile. She knew thatthe matter would have escalated further if she had poked her nose in it. For that, she decided to saynothing about it, deeming silence as the best way to deal with it.
John stared at Sophia for a while and laughed all of a sudden. “Maybe you’re right.” Then, he picked upthe fork and knife once more. “What am I doing? Losing my appetite over something so trivial. It’s notworth it.”
After the meal, Old Mrs. Constance still hadn’t returned, so Sophia and John decided to head upstairsfirst. Then, John changed his clothes and made his way to the study. Meanwhile, Sophia didn’t botherasking him what he would be doing, for she knew that he would probably be busy until the night.Therefore, she sat on the bed and scrolled her phone before she received a call from Logan.
Sounding a little tipsy, Logan blabbered loudly on the other side as he asked what Sophia was doing. novelbin
Sophia was slightly surprised by Logan’s tone as she asked, “What’s the matter with you? Are you in abad mood now? Did Miss Hunt give you an attitude again?”
Logan replied with a haughty snort and said, “Nothing to do with her! In fact, I’ll never get upsetbecause of her!”
Yeah, yeah. Keep telling yourself that, Logan. Sophia brushed him off with an indifferent grunt beforeshe showed her concern toward her friend. “You don’t sound too happy. Do you want to tell me your
problem?” Rather than calling it showing concern for her friend, she just wanted to get some gossipmaterial from him.
