Chapter 846


    John only nodded in front of Lady Jennifer in silence and headed straight to the main building. While


    Old Mrs. Constance and Sophia were nowhere to be seen downstairs, the maids were busy cooking in


    the kitchen. After scanning his surroundings, he proceeded to head upstairs to the bedroom. As soon


    as he opened the door, he realized that Sophia was sound asleep in the bed, so he quickly tiptoed into


    the room so as to not to wake her up.


    Then, John slowly walked closer to Sophia and sat beside her while caressing her hair. Ian’s vacation


    has been confirmed. Although it’s not a long one, the break should be enough for him to get all the rest


    he wants. When hees back, it’ll be time for us all to talk about the matter.


    Meanwhile, Sophia was sleeping so soundly that John’s presence didn’t even wake her. At the same


    time, John was leaning against the nightstand when he received a text message from one of his men


    about the answers they had gotten from the interrogation. ‘Those people are not a part of the top


    management, so there is nothing much useful they can provide.’ Despite the limited information, John


    still had what was needed to move on to his next target. After sending a reply to show his


    acknowledgement, he put down his phone.


    Then, John noticed Sophia’s phone on the nightstand and he reached for it, noticing a missed call from


    Logan. That call onlysted only a few seconds. Although he initially wondered whether the call was


    mistakenly made, he quickly dismissed the thought and put it behind him. After that, he continued to


    keep Sophiapany until the maid came up and informed him that lunch was ready. It was at that


    time that the knock on the door woke Sophia up. When she opened her eyes, she caught sight of John


    beside her, which scared her quite a bit.


    John then got off the bed. “It looks like you were really tired. You slept like a log.”


    When John helped Sophia up, she said, “Well, it was a great nap. I’m feeling so much more refreshed


    right now.”


    Then, John helped Sophia fix her hair while replying, “I’m worried about you, girl. You shouldn’t be


    sleeping too much.”


    Sophia answered, “Alright. Let’s get downstairs. I’m starving after a nap.”


    John was amused by thedy’s response as he found her lovely and adorable. As both of them walked


    down the corridor, they ran into Old Mrs. Constance who happened to step out of her room. When the


    olddy saw her grandson, she didn’t seem surprised and merely asked, “Didn’t your dade back


    with you?”


    In response, John chuckled and hesitated for a while before he said, “Dad? He is probably with Mom


    right now.”


    Old Mrs. Constance and Sophia were taken aback, and thetter beat the former to it as she asked,


    “Really? So, that means Master William has made his move?”


    Although John was unsure about Sophia’s question, he believed William was very likely to be with


    Matilda at that moment. “I think so.”


    That triggered Sophia’s gossipy nature at once. Hastily, she reached for her phone. “I have a phone


    call to make, so I’ll join you guyster.” Her sneaky behavior amused Old Mrs. Constance, who jokingly


    said, “You’re acting as if both of them are having an affair.”


    Sophia burst intoughter as well after hearing Old Mrs. Constance’s words. “Well, I’m too curious to


    find out how things are going on over there.”


    After that, John helped Old Mrs. Constance walk downstairs, whereas Sophia stood in the corridor and


    called Matilda. It took a while for Matilda to answer the call, and when the call connected, Sophia had a


    weird feeling, but she seemed to have detected a certain awkwardness in Matilda’s voice. “What’s the


    matter, Sophia?”


    “Hey, who are you with right now?” Sophia asked in a hushed tone.

    To that, Matilda responded with silence, which Sophia quickly understood what that meant. Then,


    Sophiaughed it off and asked, “What’s wrong? I thought Richard was going over to dine with you?


    Did you stand him up?”


    On the other hand, Matilda was scratching her head, wondering how she should exin this to


    Sophia. Oh gosh! How am I supposed to put this?


    Sophia waited for a while but heard no further response from Matilda. Soon, she figured thetter was


    perhaps in a difficult situation to answer a call. Therefore, she merely gave an affirmative grunt and


    added, “Alright, I’ll leave you to it first. We’ll talk again soon.” Before she hung up the call, Sophia


    cheered Matilda up by saying, “You can do it! I have faith in you!”
