John was stuck in the traffic jam on the way to the Constance Residence, so he had just missed dinner

by the time he reached.

Although Mrs. Constance was surprised to see John, she was definitely delighted.

She immediately greeted, “Why did you come over at this time?”

The corner of John’s lifted. “I just came to visit as I’m passing by.”

Mrs. Constance was taken aback at that as she went on with a worried tone, “You’re just like your

father. The two of you won’t bother about anything else when it comes to work. Are you just done with

your company work? I bet you haven’t eaten your dinner. Let me go get you something.”

John followed Mrs. Constance and stood by the kitchen entrance while she went inside.

Mrs. Constance washed her hands before initiating a conversation, “About Infinity Group, I’ve already

taken a look and there isn’t any news on the Internet anymore.”

John knew what she meant as he stared at her. Mumbling an answer, he added again, “I’ll find the right

opportunity.”

Mrs. Constance smiled. “Yeah, you need a right chance, or else you won’t be able to explain yourself if

Sophia turns on you.”

John frowned at that. “Sophia isn’t that kind of person.”

Mrs. Constance knew that she shouldn’t bad-mouth Sophia in front of John, but she couldn’t help

herself. “Let’s not talk about her anymore. It’ll just ruin the mood.”

John crossed his arms. “Mom, you can go on a vacation if you don’t have anything to do. You can also

join some workshops.”

Mrs. Constance turned around. “What? Are you implying that I have been prying too much?”

“That’s not what I meant,” John explained. “I just felt like you might be bored staying here, so going out

to do something will make you feel better.”

Mrs. Constance lowered her voice and replied when she heard him, “I’m not really interested in

anything. Moreover, I’m already old, so I don’t want to make myself suffer. Also, it is hard for me to

learn new things now. I’d go meet up with my friends and gamble for a bit when I’m free, but your

grandma doesn’t like me doing that.”

John’s gaze darkened slightly as he thought about Logan.

Although his friendship with Logan was quite close, they weren’t as tight as Ian and him.

With Logan here, Sophia and Ian’s relationship would only get better.

John stood for a while before hearing something from the stairs.

He immediately turned around. “Grandma.”

Old Mrs. Constance was surprised when she saw John. With a smile, she said, “Why did you come

over today? Where’s Sophia?”

John grinned. “She’s at home. I came right after my work, so I didn’t bring her along.”

Old Mrs. Constance walked over to sit on the couch. “How could you do that? Bring her along next

time. You shouldn’t leave her alone at home.”

Mrs. Constance couldn’t help but roll her eyes while she eavesdropped from the kitchen.

John agreed. “Sure. I’ll bring her along next time.”

After Mrs. Constance prepared the food, she called him over to the dining room to eat.

John noticed what was on the table after he went in. It was Western food.

This had always been his favorite cuisine.

After he sat down, Mrs. Constance and Old Mrs. Constance came over to sit with him.

Old Mrs. Constance spoke up first, “How’s your work recently? I noticed that your father had been

going on a lot of business trips. He’s got much busier recently.”

John nodded. “We are expanding our business market, so we will be busier than before. My workload

is still manageable, it will be much busier for Dad, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Fourth Uncle.”

At the mention of that, Old Mrs. Constance suggested, “You should come back earlier with Sophia for

Uncle Owen’s birthday. The house has been empty ever since your Grandpa passed away, so we

should take this opportunity to liven up the house.”

Mrs. Constance pondered for a moment before asking, “It hasn’t been a few months since Father

passed away. Would it be okay for us to hold a party like this?”

Upon hearing that, Old Mrs. Constance lowered her gaze to stare at the ring on her finger. “It’s fine. We

are a family anyway, and it’s not like we are inviting outsiders. After all, your father enjoyed parties

before he passed away. It has been really quiet lately, so he doesn’t want to come back anymore. I
