Chapter 359


    Without replying to their messages, Sophia went downstairs with her cell phone in hand. After eating a


    simple breakfast, she theny down on the yoga mat and stared at the chandelier on the ceiling. Back


    when I was in the vige, I had endless tasks every day.


    At that time, I wondered how nice it’d be if I could just lie down peacefully like this and do nothing one


    day. Now, this dream hase true, but I find that it’s actually quite boring to just lie down leisurely.


    However, just a few seconds after she’dy down, a car stopped in front of her house. She warily sat


    up at once, for she couldn’t help thinking that Mrs. Constance was back after having lost to her the


    previous time. When she caught sight of the person who alighted from the car, her brows slowly


    creased.


    It’s Old Mrs. Constance walking over with someone supporting her! After a moment’s deliberation, she


    pivoted and sprinted upstairs. She moved quickly, so Old Mrs. Constance just happened to reach the


    door when she came down again. Thus, she went over to open the door. “Madam.”


    Old Mrs. Constance chuckled. “You’ve changed your address of me pretty quickly. You’re no longer


    calling me Grandma, huh?”


    Sophia smiled. “Pleasee in.”


    Old Mrs. Constance was helped into the house by the servant. She hadn’t been here, so she looked


    around as she stood in the living room. “This wasn’t done by John, was it? It doesn’t look like it.”


    Sophia grunted in affirmation. “He did all the permanent fixtures, but I found the ornamental fixtures not


    quite to my liking, so I changed them.”


    Old Mrs. Constance nodded. “It’s good that you changed them. It looks great now.”


    Sophia then ushered her to the sofa to have a seat. After thinking for a while, she said, “I have no in


    water here, only soft drinks. Would you like to have any?”


    At this, Old Mrs. Constance chortled. “Sure. I haven’t drunk any in a long time. I remember that I was


    rather fond of drinking those colorful drinks back when I was young.” However, her family forbade her


    from drinking such drinks, so sheter gave them all up.


    Sophia hurriedly went over to the refrigerator and took two cans of soft drinks for her. Holding a can in


    her hand, Old Mrs. Constance scrutinized it. “What vor is this? I haven’t seen this in a long time, so I


    had no idea that the packaging has changed so much.”


    “It’s orange. There’s a grape-vored one here. Which one would you like?” Sophia held out the can in


    her hand.


    “I’ll go for orange, then. I like oranges quite a bit.”


    ncing at Old Mrs. Constance, Sophia took out a box from the side and said gingerly, “Grandma, this


    was from you back then. I’ve mulled over it for a while and decided that I can’t keep this. I was nning


    to return it to John, but I haven’t found the right time to do so.


    Now that you’re here, I think I should return this to you.” The item she was handing to Old Mrs.


    Constance was the jade pendant she gifted her back then.


    Old Mrs. Constance’s gaze fell on the velvet box. After a long while, she asked, “Have you


    misunderstood something? I’m not here because of this.”


    “I know,” Sophia replied. “You’re probably here to thank me for helping John out. Actually, it’s not a big


    deal. When this matter blows over, I can then rx, so I’m not really helping him. Rather, I’m helping


    myself.”

    Her frankness had relief suffusing Old Mrs. Constance. Taking her hand and cing it onto her own


    palm, she sighed softly. “No matter what, the Constance Family owes you.”


    Sophia hastily chuckled. “No, not at all. The Constance Family doesn’t owe me anything. Conversely,


    you’ve given me a lot.” At least, it was John who gave me this house I’m living in. Without all this, I


    might be forced to return to my hometown, and I’m not enthusiastic about going back to that ce


    where I’ll have to rely on the weather to make a living.


    Since she’d said as much, Old Mrs. Constance was at a loss for words. After musing for a while, she


    murmured, “John is actually a very simple-minded person. All these years, he has been focusing on


    work wholeheartedly and neglected other things. Take Isabelle, for instance. Do you think he has


    feelings for Isabelle? I don’t think so.”
