Chapter 838


    Ynda pursed her lips and responded with an affirmative grunt while waving at William. As the man


    drove away, she only stood in ce with her eyes glued to his car. Meanwhile, William was looking at


    Ynda from the rear mirror just as the reflection of her figure slowly diminished and disappeared out


    of sight. A few momentster, he revealed an indifferent expression on his face.


    Well, I’m not going to fall for Ynda’sst few words. It might have seemed like she was backing


    down, but I know that she was trying to pressure me. This is why women like her are never my cup of


    tea. She is making it seem like I’m the reason she can’t go for a movie. Does she really think I’m too


    dumb to read between the lines after all my years of experiences in themercial world? She is


    going to have to try harder to make me fall for that.


    Soon, William arrived home, only to find that John and Sophia were still not back, while Old Mrs.


    Constance had already hit the hay upstairs. He threw his necktie aside and sank back in the couch.


    After a brief contemtion, he finally gave in to his curiosity and called his son up. At that moment,


    John happened to be having a great time while ying poker with the others.


    When John answered the call, William was able to hear Matilda rejoicing in her victory before Logan


    grumbled, “Come on! Why is it me again? Where is my ckjack?”


    Matildaughed and said, “You still have a lot to learn, kid.”


    John smiled, waiting until Matilda had finished her words before he asked William a question. “What’s


    up?”


    Upon overhearing the conversations in the background, William made a guess. “Are you guys ying a


    card game right now?”


    John replied, “Yeah. Since everyone is here, we’ll just y for a while.”


    Matilda’sughing voice was apanied by the sound of the cards being pped onto the table.


    “Money, money,e to Mommy!”


    Sophia patted John and told him, “Pay for me.”


    John nodded and said, “Alright. It’s on me.”


    Logan then snorted unhappily. “This isn’t fair. The three of you are family, and you guys ganged up on


    me!”


    Meanwhile, William was tongue-tied upon overhearing Logan’s words in the background, forgetting


    what he initially wanted to say. At that time, John asked, “Are you still in your office?”


    “Nah. I’m already home,” William replied quietly.

    “I see. Then, you should probably get some rest by now. We won’t be back that soon for tonight,” John


    answered. To that, William reluctantly responded with an affirmative grunt.


    After John hung up the call, Sophia smiled and asked, “What’s wrong? It looks like someone is getting


    desperate.”


    John shook his head. “I don’t know, but he sounded moody.”


    Upon hearing that, Sophia asked John how William looked when he left earlier this afternoon, to which


    John took a while to recall and replied, “He looked normal at that time. There is a lot you have yet to


    learn about my dad. He is a man of pride who’ll never show his feelings. Therefore, he always looks


    calm on the outside.”


    Sophia chuckled and casually gave her opinion. “And I suppose you got that from him, didn’t you?”


    John was slightly taken aback as he gazed at Sophia and said, “I’m calm? Come on! You’re slowly


    killing me!”


    At the sight of the couple’s interaction, Logan began toin. “Alright! Alright! Enough of that lovey-


    dovey speech, you two! I’m still right here.”


    John raised his eyebrow and gently pinched Sophia’s cheek. “Okay, okay. I suppose we forgot about


    this poor single guy here who just got beaten up by a woman. Let’s be more considerate to him.”


    As soon as he heard that, Logan felt a stab of pain deep down inside before he started grumbling once


    more, “I just didn’t want to stoop to her level. If I hadn’t held back, I would have taught her a lesson the


    hard way.”


    In response, Sophia brushed him off and replied, “Yeah, yeah. We heard you loud and clear. Now, let’s


    get back to the card game.”


    Time flew as everyone was absorbed in ying cards. Soon, John’s smoking addiction began to kick


    in, so he stood up and said, “Give me a moment. I’m going outside to smoke for a bit.” While Sophia


    actually didn’t mind that, John didn’t want to smoke beside her either.
