Female Novel
Chapter 570
John chuckled. “I’m not in a hurry, so there’s no rush for me.”
Lady Jennifer nodded. “If you’re interested in finding a life partner, I can help you out, too. I’m just afraidthat your mother won’t fancy my choice and mistake me as being a busybody.”
At this, John guffawed. “My mother has a sharp tongue and isn’t quite good at expressing herself.Please don’t take offense to her rash words in the past.” Lady Jennifer then answered that she held nogrudge since they were a family, but John could tell that she was truly upset.
After chatting with her for a while, Dylan came back from meeting a client. When he saw that LadyJennifer was there upon his return, mild surprise showed on his face. He greeted his mother beforeglancing at John. Thus, John explained, “Aunt Jennifer has been here for some time now. She camespecifically to see you.” novelbin
Upon hearing this, Dylan realized the purpose of her visit. She merely mentioned it in passing lastnight, yet she really moves fast. She’s here in less than a day’s time! Exasperation inundated him.“Don’t go to so much trouble, Mom. I know what to do about my own affairs. There’s already someonewhom I like.”
Taken aback, Lady Jennifer stared at him. Beside her, John pinned his gaze on Dylan as well. “There’ssomeone whom you like? Who is it? Is it one of those girls whom I introduced to you in the past?” LadyJennifer promptly questioned.
Dylan shook his head. “No, no, it’s not anyone whom you introduced to me. However, you areacquainted with her.” John’s heart jolted when he heard this remark, and his expression inadvertently
darkened. Dylan, on the other hand, seemed to have noticed nothing, grinning still. His eyes fixed onLady Jennifer, he added, “Anyhow, I’m keeping her identity secret for now. I’ll tell you who it is when Ithink the time is right.”
Lady Jennifer’s brows creased deeply. “Just who is it that you can’t tell me now? Are you so mysteriousbecause her background is substandard?”
Walking over, Dylan wrapped an arm around her shoulder. “Stop asking, for I’m not going to say asingle word now. Come, come, let’s go and talk in my office so that we don’t distract John from hiswork.”
John went over and walked Lady Jennifer to the door. Then, he turned his gaze on Dylan. “Introducethe girl you like to me when you’re free. I’ll help to appraise her.”
Dylan chortled, looking not the slightest bit guilty. “Sure.”
John watched as the two of them entered Dylan’s office before he closed the door and returned to hisdesk. He was initially feeling unsettled, but it was now worse, for he wasn’t in the mood to work at all.
Taking a cigarette, he lit it and stuck it at the corner of his mouth. Then, he leaned back against hischair. As the cigarette smoke swirled around him, his mind wandered, bringing up tons of memoriesfrom the past—his thoughts back when he agreed to marry Sophia and later, when he was determinedto have a divorce. What was Sophia thinking when she signed the divorce agreement? I don’t believeshe hadn’t noticed my obvious attentiveness toward her thereafter. What, then, was she thinking at thattime? These questions churned in his mind, yet no answer came to him.
A moment later, Zack came in with a report for him. However, he was momentarily stunned when he
entered and glimpsed the expression on John’s face. He walked over to him. “Boss, is somethingplaying havoc on your mind?”
Taking the cigarette out of his mouth, John stubbed it out. “No.”
At this, Zack burst out laughing. “Look at your expression. You have a long face.” Handing the report toJohn, he asked, “Does it have to do with Sophia? Actually, I’ve watched the talent show Second YoungMaster Morgan joined. That was akin to a public confession of love. Truthfully speaking, a girl willdefinitely be moved since it’s quite romantic.”
John’s expression was originally a tad apathetic, but after hearing this proclamation, he instantly turnedforbidding.
