Sophia nodded at him. “Go ahead then.”

With that, she made her way to the dining hall. John happened to have made it back with the divorce certificate and divorce agreement in his hands by the time she walked out again.

At the same time, Logan and Ian were serving food to the dining table.

Logan greeted John as soon as he saw him, “Come over here, John. You’re here at the right time because we’ve prepared a lot of food today for the steamboat.”

Sophia cast Logan an inquisitive glance as she wondered what was in his mind.

Didn’t he know how things were currently between John and her? Why did he behave as though nothing had happened?

John first looked at Ian before answering with a smile, “I’m afraid I can’t stay because I still have something to attend to. Please enjoy yourselves.”

Sophia, who could detect that he sounded a little upset when he said the last three words, cast him a glance but didn’t make any comment.

John then left the place with the stuff and got into his car which was parked in front of the gate. Then, he drove for some distance away before pulling to a stop again.

Inside the car, he lit up a cigarette as he observed Sophia’s place from the rearview mirror.

It seemed like their divorce had really freed Sophia from misery because she looked so much happier than before.

After he finished smoking the cigarette, he closed his eyes to clear his mind before driving away because there was nothing more to see.

He headed straight back to Constance Residence having nowhere else to go.

His father wasn’t home yet and John reckoned he had gone out to attend some social gathering. Meanwhile, the people of the other three families were at home because their cars were in the garage.

Dylan was there as well, and he was leaning against his car while holding a cigarette butt.

When John moved his car into the garage, Dylan threw the cigarette butt away and looked at John with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

When John got out of his car, he glanced at Dylan quizzically and asked, “Do you have something to tell me?”

Dylan chuckled, “I didn’t before this but when I saw you, I suddenly thought of something.” Looking amiable, he remarked, “I just found out that you and Sophia already divorced each other a long time ago.”

John stared at him without answering.

Dylan continued, “I noticed that the date of the divorce certificate was amended because I came across the original copy.”

John frowned at him and questioned, “Where did you see it?”

Dylan snickered, “The Baileys visited us earlier today. Otherwise, where do you think I could have come across that?”

“What time were they here?” John asked with his lips pursed with annoyance.

After some contemplation, Dylan replied, “They were here not too long ago but they only stayed for a short while. As your father wasn’t at home just now and Grandma wasn’t willing to leave her room, the Baileys only got to have a brief chat with your mother. I happened to bump into them when they were leaving.”

John then turned around and made his way to the main building of the mansion.

In the meantime, Dylan stood at the same place and watched him as he walked away.

Mrs. Constance was nowhere in sight when John entered the house and the living room was empty.

After some hesitation, he headed upstairs.

Just when reached the second floor, the door of his mother’s room was opened before she walked out of the room with a suitcase; it seemed like she was going back to her parents’ house.

John only gave her a nonchalant glance before heading to his own room because he was not in the mood to console anyone at the moment.

He already had a lot on his plate to begin with but now, he had to worry about his mother too.

Mrs. Constance, who had also spotted John, was left dumbfounded with tears welling up in her eyes after John ignored her.

But still, she would never compromise by admitting her own mistake after years of being treated like a queen by the family.

Therefore, she carried her suitcase downstairs and instructed the butler to arrange a driver for her to send her back home.

Looking at her with some resignation, the butler said, “Young Master William is at his busiest at the moment and Old Mrs. Constance has been in a foul mood. Mrs. Constance, why don’t you stay?”

The butler was trying to say that it was probably best if she didn’t bring more trouble to the family at the moment.
