Chapter 982


    Old Mrs. Constance nodded at her remark. “You’re right. A marriage can’t be rushed.”


    With Sophia’s help, the conversation about Logan’s marriage finally came to an end.


    Logan rubbed his hands and appeared flustered. Obviously, he was feeling extremely ufortable


    eating together with them this time. In the past, he never cared much about public disys of affection,


    but now, every time he came across it, he would feel a little bothered.


    This was especially because his sister called him two nights ago. In the call, Lorraine told him that their


    father’s health was not welltely, and that he had been talking about his only wish—to see Logan


    getting married.


    Lorraine sounded nice over the call. Neither did she get angry nor order him to do anything about it.


    However, the call left Logan feeling bad.


    It was true that his father’s health was declining. Their family doctor even lived in the room next to his


    in order to monitor his condition.


    Old Mr. Jefferson had always been talking about Logan’s marriage, but Logan never saw it as a big


    deal.


    When the topic was brought up again under the current circumstances, Logan felt it differently.


    The dinner at the Constances’ ce didn’t go on for long. When it was about to end, John and Logan


    both stood up.


    Sophia knew that the two had other matters to tend to, but Old Mrs. Constance did not understand the


    situation. So, she looked at John and Logan. “Why did you two finish dinner in a haste? You didn’t eat


    much either.”


    In response, John took a napkin to wipe his hand. “I’m full now. Plus, I don’t want to overeat at night.


    I’ve been suffering from indigestion over the past two days.”


    Logan nodded and grunted in agreement. “Yes, yes, we’ll have indigestion. It’s better to eat less.”


    Sophia almostughed out loud. Of course, she knew that Logan was definitely not suffering from


    indigestion; he merely found the conversation at the dinner table difficult.


    After hearing their exnation, Old Mrs. Constance did not object to them leaving.


    Therefore, John and Logan both went into the study upstairs.


    Upon thinking about it for a moment, Old Mrs. Constance looked at Sophia. “I have a feeling that John


    and Logan have some important matters to deal with. Look at them! They obviously n to discuss


    something serious.”


    Sophia agreed but feigned ignorance. “I know nothing about it. I never ask John about his work.”


    A few momentster, Old Mrs. Constance nodded slowly. “Right. You don’t need to care about what is


    happening at his work. Just focus on your health and your pregnancy.”


    At that time, Sophia was done with dinner too. She chatted a little with Old Mrs. Constance before

    putting down her fork and sat there to keep thempany.


    Matilda was talking to William about a situation at her ce. It sounded like there was a leaking pipe


    somewhere around.


    She said that she wanted William to help fix it when they head backter.


    When William heard that, he said that he had wanted to fix the leak the previous day, but he had failed


    to find any wrench. Otherwise, he would have already settled it.


    During the chat, Sophia leaned into her chair and observed the older couple.


    Theirmunication style right now was much better than before.


    Matilda could finally converse like a normal person, while William sounded warmer and had be a


    caring husband.


    Happy to witness the harmonious rtionship, Old Mrs. Constance smiled throughout their


    conversation with a hint of relief and joy.


    When everyone was done with dinner, they moved over to the sofa and chatted more.


    Matilda and John ultimately nned to return to their ce. They had little interest in staying the night


    at Constance Residence.


    When Old Mrs. Constance found out about it, she smacked her lips and asked, “What’s wrong with


    staying here? Is it inconvenient for you two to get lovey-dovey?”


    Matilda caressed the diamond ring on her finger and replied, “Why would we need to get lovey-dovey


    at this age? It’s simply morefortable for us to stay at my ce. After all, both of us are not legally


    remarried yet.”


    They have been using their status as an excuse over and over again, Old Mrs. Constance thought to


    herself.
