Chapter 834
William only responded with silence until the car pulled up outside the company. When he opened thecar door and stepped out of the vehicle, he finally said something. As he stood next to the car, heanswered, “Yeah, it’s pretty easy for her.”
At first, John didn’t catch on to what William meant, until a few moments later when he realized hisfather was answering his earlier question. Nevertheless, he only smiled and entered their company withWilliam.
In the afternoon, John was swamped with work, so he couldn’t find time to check on William. Still, heknew the latter would probably be moody considering the incident that happened earlier in the day. Itwas only until the evening that John was finally able to settle all his work. Then, he stretched himselfand gave Sophia a call to ask where she was, to which he was told that Sophia and Matilda were still atLogan’s club, where they were planning to have their dinner. Upon hearing that, John quickly replied,“Count me in. I’m joining you ladies!”
Sophia chuckled and replied, “But if you come here, there will be no one else at home to keep Old Mrs.Constance and Mr. William company. For that, I doubt you’ll be spared from their naggings.”
Unconcerned, John answered, “Well, it’s not like my presence is going to make the house a lot morecrowded. So, I’ll be fine.”
After a brief contemplation, Sophia agreed to that, thinking that she was in no position to turn him awaysince they were on Logan’s turf.
Upon hanging up the call, John tidied up his desk and waited until it was time to leave work. As hemade his way to the corridor, he ran into William, who happened to be stepping out of the pantry with a
glass in his hand. When William saw his son hurriedly leaving, he asked, “Hey, what’s the rush? Is ittime to go home already?”
“Sophia and Mom are eating out, and I’ll be joining them,” John said.
William pursed his lips and nodded a few seconds later. “Well, that means your grandma is going to bealone at home.”
John raised his eyebrow and asked William a question instead of responding to the latter’s statement.“Are you going to stick around for overtime work?”
William responded with an affirmative grunt. “I don’t seem to have a choice either. There is just toomuch on my plate.” The man’s voice was filled with helplessness and dismay, but John didn’t seem toexpress his concern about that. Instead, he only told William that he would be setting off soon beforeheading toward the elevator.
As William stood behind and watched his son leave, he couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by mixedfeelings. It looks like we’re going back to the old days where there was just me and the old lady athome.
Meanwhile, John proceeded to make his way to Logan’s club, which was crowded with people. At thesame time, Sophia and the others were about to enjoy a mouth-watering buffet as the chefs were busypreparing various types of dishes. When John entered the lounge, he happened to see Sophia messingaround with Logan as she tried to take pictures of herself with the man, who looked miserable.
Nevertheless, Logan covered his face to show his resistance, even though the bruise on his cheekbonewasn’t that obvious and could be taken care of by a beauty filter app. Still, he was reluctant to give in,novelbin
covering his face while dodging the camera, but because Sophia was pregnant, he tried to avoidstruggling too violently by only covering his face. In the meantime, Sophia only gloated and gleefullylaughed, showing no signs of hiding her ‘evil’ intention.
At the same time, Matilda was busy serving the dishes on the table without even bothering to look atthem. She only reminded Sophia, “Watch out, Sophia! You’re pregnant after all. And you, Logan. Can’tyou just give in to her and let her snap some pictures? Look at her! She is getting carried awaybecause of you!”
Mom just seems like a biased parent. At the sight of their interaction, John was amused. While Loganwas shouting in resistance to avoid Sophia’s camera, the lady still insisted on aiming her phone at himto snap some pictures.
As soon as John entered the lounge, he approached Matilda. “Is there anything I can help with?”
Upon looking up at her son, Matilda responded with a smile and replied, “Oh, here you are. Well,everything is fine, so just sit down. We can eat anytime soon.” Then, she turned her attention to Sophiain a helpless manner. “Quit messing around, both of you. Get over here now.”
