Chapter 1063


    After seeing John’s agitated reaction, Owen stood up in a panic. “Hey, wait!” Nevertheless, John


    stomped off with Sophia, ignoring Owen who was calling out to him. Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Constance


    sat on the couch with a darkened look just as Owen awkwardly met her gaze. “That’s not what I meant,


    Mom! You guys are getting the wrong idea!”


    Wrong idea or not, you can’t take back your words anymore. Disappointed with Owen and his wife, Old


    Mrs. Constance lectured both of them. “I don’t understand what you both are doing. Must you both


    always give everyone a headache? Dn is a grown man, so stop treating him like a kid. He is mature


    enough to make his own life decisions. As for you, Jennifer, do you really think we’re too dumb to read


    between the lines when you threw those hints at Sophia? Do you know that you’re only making Dn


    feel even more awkward?”


    Upon hearing that, Lady Jennifer was instantly tongue-tied as she guiltily rubbed her hands. In the


    meantime, Samuel only watched aside in silence until it was the right time for him to speak. Then, he


    changed the subject and said, “Owen, I’m sure you want to restore peace in your family, so this is the


    time for you to let go. Dn is old enough to make his own decisions, and you guys need to treat him


    as an adult, not a child. You’re only going to get on his nerves for interfering with his every decision.”


    In response, Owen nodded. Then, in a much softer voice than earlier, he said, “Alright, I heard you.”


    On the other hand, Sophia and John returned to the main building and entered the dining area. Then,


    Sophia had the maid serve her another te of hot food before she started eating. Even though she


    didn’t take that matter to heart, John’s anger got the better of him. He was seen picking up the fork and


    spoon shortly before he put them down on the table again.


    Sophia looked askance at him. “Seriously?”


    Impressed with Sophia’s magnanimity, John said, “How can you remain so calm?”


    “Why should I get worked up over it? This has nothing to do with me at all. My conscience is clear, and


    I don’t give two hoots about what other people think of me,” Sophia replied with a smile. She knew that


    the matter would have escted further if she had poked her nose in it. For that, she decided to say


    nothing about it, deeming silence as the best way to deal with it.


    John stared at Sophia for a while andughed all of a sudden. “Maybe you’re right.” Then, he picked up

    the fork and knife once more. “What am I doing? Losing my appetite over something so trivial. It’s not


    worth it.”


    After the meal, Old Mrs. Constance still hadn’t returned, so Sophia and John decided to head upstairs


    first. Then, John changed his clothes and made his way to the study. Meanwhile, Sophia didn’t bother


    asking him what he would be doing, for she knew that he would probably be busy until the night.


    Therefore, she sat on the bed and scrolled her phone before she received a call from Logan.


    Sounding a little tipsy, Logan bbered loudly on the other side as he asked what Sophia was doing.


    Sophia was slightly surprised by Logan’s tone as she asked, “What’s the matter with you? Are you in a


    bad mood now? Did Miss Hunt give you an attitude again?”


    Logan replied with a haughty snort and said, “Nothing to do with her! In fact, I’ll never get upset


    because of her!”


    Yeah, yeah. Keep telling yourself that, Logan. Sophia brushed him off with an indifferent grunt before


    she showed her concern toward her friend. “You don’t sound too happy. Do you want to tell me your


    problem?” Rather than calling it showing concern for her friend, she just wanted to get some gossip


    material from him.
