Chapter 554


    Dn grunted. “Certainly, the blind dates didn’t go well because I’m not really looking for a girlfriend.”


    Upon finishing his words, he turned to John with a faint smile.


    After a pause, he added, “We have to be absolutely clear about the kind of women we love, otherwise


    we’ll be prone to making mistakes. Since I was certain that I didn’t like those women, I made it clear to


    them.”


    Clenching the cup in his hand, John turned to him. “I’m d you understand yourself so well when it


    Dn giggled. “Yes, I learned it the hard way after losing someone important.”


    John’s eyebrows furrowed. Since he wasn’t in frequent contact with Dn, he didn’t realize that the


    words would always contain hidden meaning whenever they had a chat.


    Putting on a smile, John replied, “That might be a blessing in disguise. You should make it clear to your


    mother as well, otherwise she’ll force you to fall in love with one of those women.”


    After staring at John for a while, Dn nodded. “You’re right. I should share my thoughts with my


    mom.”


    John fell silent, and Dn left the pantry after swigging his water. Watching Dn leave through the


    window, John’s eyes slowly turned somber.

    After John got off work and left thepany, he decided to drive his car to Sophia’s shop since he


    wasn’t in a rush. When passing by the shop, he slowed down the car, rolled down the window, and


    peered into her shop.


    At this moment, Sophia was seated by the window with a man, who asked for her phone number


    before.


    John hissed. Why is that brat here again?! Meanwhile, Sophia was smiling at the man in a gentle


    manner. Also, why is that woman smirking at him?!


    After passing by the shop for a while, John pulled up the car on the roadside. Seated in the vehicle, he


    observed her shop from the rearview mirror. The man didn’t seem to have the intention ofing out.


    Fishing out his cigarette, John lit it up, ced it between his lips, and waited patiently just like this.


    Before Sophia left the shop, John’s phone started ringing. He took it out and was surprised that William


    was calling him, for he came across his father when leaving thepany, but thetter didn’t seem to


    have something important to tell him.


    Upon picking up the call, John called out, “Dad.”


    With a lowered voice, William said, “Your mom called me just now. She wants the three of us to have a


    meal together.”


    John was startled. “How did you reply to her?”


    “What else could I say? Since this isn’t an outrageous request, I said yes.” William’s voice sounded


    helpless.


    Since this really was an eptable request, John stared at the rearview mirror and said, “Okay, where


    are you now? I’ll go to you.”


    William told him the address and hung up the call.


    With his gaze fixed on the rearview mirror, John kept his phone, but the man remained inside the shop.


    If it weren’t for the fact that Robin was there as well, he would have stormed into the shop to find out


    what Sophia and the man were up to.


    After waiting for a bit, he decided to leave, since there wasn’t much time left.


    William and Matilda were already at the restaurant when John arrived. Upon stepping into the private


    room, he saw his father and mother sitting on either side of the table without uttering a word, which was


    an awkward situation.


    With her gaze lowered, Matilda seemed to be a quieter woman now, even though it was hard to tell


    what was on her mind.
