Chapter 1088


    It was rumored that Lady Jennifer went to the office, crying and begging Dn not to stay away from home, imploring him to return for meals


    and stay the night as usual. It seemed that he indeed went home these few days, but he always returned home veryte, nearing midnight in


    fact. He would then spend the night before leaving early the next morning.


    Dn sat down beside L. At this, Logan shifted his gaze between them both. For some reason, Old Mrs. Constance’s remark earlier came


    to mind. On a closer look, the two of them truly make quite a good match. A hint of unease rose within him, but he couldn’t figure out exactly


    why he was feeling difited.


    While they were eating, William asked whether Owen was at home. Dn pursed his lips. “No idea. I came here straight away.”


    Judging from his answer, he probably came back earlier today yet didn’t want to go home. Thus, he came over here to have dinner with


    us. William sighed, but he couldn’t say anything to persuade him otherwise. He’s actually a very obedient child, so he must have been bottling


    his dissatisfactions for too long a time considering the magnitude of the fit he’s throwing now.


    During dinner, Dn didn’t even look at Sophia, his gaze seemingly never leaving the immediate area before him.


    Ignorant to the chaotic state of affairs, Logan inquired about William’s work. Then, he even surreptitiously asked Dn whether he had a


    girlfriend. Everything was fine before this, but the moment his question was heard, the atmosphere at the dinner table turned tense.


    Dn stilled at once. A brief secondter, he replied, “No.”


    Upon hearing this, the expressions of those who were in the know changed several times. Looks like Owen didn’t manage to convince him


    otherwise, they thought.


    Murmuring an acknowledgment, Logan nodded. Subsequently, he said nothing further, instantly plunging the dinner table into silence.


    A few secondster, Matilda chuckled


    Looking at L, she changed the subject. “Why did you resign? Generally speaking, it’s rare that someone in your profession would leave the


    job.” L nodded. “I was injured previously. It happened a few times during the past few years in my line of duty, so my family objected out


    of worry.” “It must have been difficult for you as a girl,” Matildamented when she heard her reply. Chortling, L answered, “Actually, it


    wasn’t so bad. Many of the male colleagues in my team risked life and limb, pushing their families to the back of their mind for the sake of


    the greater good. Compared to them, I feel as though I’m a deserter.” Beside her, Sophia shook her head. “That’s not true. You’ve already


    done your best, but sometimes, there are just too many things to consider. After all, everyone has parents and siblings, so one can’t wholly


    ignore those people’s feelings.” L nodded. “My father persuaded me multiple times.


    In the beginning, I demurred, but he almost went to his kneester.” Her voice had turned gruff at this point. Inhaling deeply, she then


    continued, “I was injured during a mission back then, and I almost didn’t survive. At that time, my grandmother couldn’t take the news, and


    she copsed. My father said that her heart would definitely give out if something were to happen to me. Then, he asserted that he, too,


    wouldn’t be able to take it if he were to lose two people at the same time, both the young and the old.” When Old Mrs. Constance heard this,


    her expression turned poignant as well. “Your father’s view wasn’t exactly wrong. After all, one would have to make different choices upon


    attaining a certain age.” After saying that, she then asked L what she was currently doingProperty ? of N?velDrama.Org.
