Chapter 287


    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 youe 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 ites to work. Are you just done with


    yourpany 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 Inte 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 exin 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 exined. “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 rtionship 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 youe

    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 shoulde 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 quiettely, so he doesn’t want toe back anymore. I


    haven’t been seeing him in my dreamstely.”
