Chapter 968
While bothdies stared at each other with boredom, Sophia appeared rather disturbed and
preupied. Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Constance insisted on having Sophia’spany while watching TV,
knowing that thetter was bothered by something else when she noticed that she couldn’t keep her
eyes on the TV.
Therefore, the olddy tried tofort her. “I guess John didn’te home because he was probably
just caught up in workst night. Don’t overthink, girl. I know my grandson, and he has never cared
about anyone else more than you. Other than his job, you’re like the whole world to him.”
After hearing Old Mrs. Constance’s reply, Sophia realized that she had been misunderstood. Thus, she
smiled and exined herself, “I never suspected that John would do something like that to me. I’m just
a little worried about his health instead. He’s been busy the past few days, and I wish he could have
some rest.”
Old Mrs. Constance paused and nodded in agreement. “Yeah, you’re right. John is just like his father.
When William was younger, he would forget about sleeping and eating for the sake of work.
Sometimes, I don’t really understand what the boys are thinking. It’s not like we’re short of money, so
there is really no need to push yourself so far.”
Soon, the olddy looked outside and added, “I’m old, and I’ve learned to get over a lot of things along
the way. After all these years, nothing else matters to me except health. Every time I think about your
grandpa, I can’t help but feel sad and heartbroken. He wouldn’t have left us so soon if only he had
taken care of his own health well when he was younger. While dying is easy, those who are gone will
never know how much pain we have to go through every day.”
Sophia pursed her lips as she quietly listened to Old Mrs. Constance’s words.
Ever since her husband passed away, she has always looked so tough, like she has already epted

her bereavement. I guess I was wrong to think of her as an invincible olderdy who never felt a single
bit of pain.
In that instant, Sophia finally understood Old Mrs. Constance’s true feelings.
Despite the tough expression she often puts up, she is broken on the inside. Why would I even think
that it was easy to get over the death of someone else we love so dearly?
Sophia held the olddy’s hand and sighed while thetter shifted her gaze to the former. “This is why I
want the both of you to spend more time on those precious moments in your life. You can’t turn back
time. So, don’t waste it, only to look back and regret itter. After all, life is short, and it’s not worth
living a life that’s all about work.”
Nodding in agreement, she uttered, “I understand, Grandma.” As both of them continued to sit and talk
for a few more moments, Matilda arrived and was seen holding a bag of fruits. She then called out to
Sophia at the doorstep, “Hello, Sophia. Did you miss me?”
Sophia turned around and saw Matilda, who instantly put a smile on her face. “Hey, it’s good to see
you. What took you so long? I thought you would have arrived long ago.” She stood up as she was
about to help Matilda carry what she was holding.
Nevertheless, Matilda backed away and said, “It’s alright, I can handle it. This is too heavy for you.”
Soon, the maid quickly came closer and carried the item. After that, Matilda gazed at the maid and
said, “These are Sophia’s favorite grapes. Please wash them for her.”
She is starting to act like this is her home.
After giving everything to the maid, Matilda came to the couch and sat down. “I went back to the
Flintstone Residence and stayed there the whole day. But guess what? I can’t help missing you guys,
so I bought some fruits and swung by.” Then, she stared at Sophia’s face. “What’s wrong with you, girl?
You don’t look so happy.”
Sophia touched her face in confusion. “Really? I guess I’m just tired because I didn’t have a good rest
At that moment, Old Mrs. Constance jokingly chimed in, “John stayed back for workst night and slept
in the office after that, but our little girl, Sophia, doesn’t seem happy about that.”
