Chapter 1088


    It was rumored that Lady Jennifer went to the office, crying and begging Dn not to stay away from


    home, imploring him to return for meals and stay the night as usual. It seemed that he indeed went


    home these few days, but he always returned home veryte, nearing midnight in fact. He would then


    spend the night before leaving early the next morning.


    Dn sat down beside L. At this, Logan shifted his gaze between them both. For some reason, Old


    Mrs. Constance’s remark earlier came to mind. On a closer look, the two of them truly make quite a


    good match. A hint of unease rose within him, but he couldn’t figure out exactly why he was feeling


    difited.


    While they were eating, William asked whether Owen was at home. Dn pursed his lips. “No idea. I


    came here straight away.”


    Judging from his answer, he probably came back earlier today yet didn’t want to go home. Thus, he


    came over here to have dinner with us. William sighed, but he couldn’t say anything to persuade him


    otherwise. He’s actually a very obedient child, so he must have been bottling his dissatisfactions for too


    long a time considering the magnitude of the fit he’s throwing now.


    During dinner, Dn didn’t even look at Sophia, his gaze seemingly never leaving the immediate area


    before him.


    Ignorant to the chaotic state of affairs, Logan inquired about William’s work. Then, he even


    surreptitiously asked Dn whether he had a girlfriend. Everything was fine before this, but the


    moment his question was heard, the atmosphere at the dinner table turned tense.


    Dn stilled at once. A brief secondter, he replied, “No.”


    Upon hearing this, the expressions of those who were in the know changed several times. Looks like


    Owen didn’t manage to convince him otherwise, they thought.


    Murmuring an acknowledgment, Logan nodded. Subsequently, he said nothing further, instantly


    plunging the dinner table into silence.


    A few secondster, Matilda chuckled. Looking at L, she changed the subject. “Why did you resign?


    Generally speaking, it’s rare that someone in your profession would leave the job.”


    L nodded. “I was injured previously. It happened a few times during the past few years in my line of


    duty, so my family objected out of worry.”


    “It must have been difficult for you as a girl,” Matildamented when she heard her reply.


    Chortling, L answered, “Actually, it wasn’t so bad. Many of the male colleagues in my team risked


    life and limb, pushing their families to the back of their mind for the sake of the greater good. Compared


    to them, I feel as though I’m a deserter.”


    Beside her, Sophia shook her head. “That’s not true. You’ve already done your best, but sometimes,


    there are just too many things to consider. After all, everyone has parents and siblings, so one can’t


    wholly ignore those people’s feelings.”


    L nodded. “My father persuaded me multiple times. In the beginning, I demurred, but he almost went


    to his kneester.” Her voice had turned gruff at this point.


    Inhaling deeply, she then continued, “I was injured during a mission back then, and I almost didn’t


    survive. At that time, my grandmother couldn’t take the news, and she copsed. My father said that

    her heart would definitely give out if something were to happen to me. Then, he asserted that he, too,


    wouldn’t be able to take it if he were to lose two people at the same time, both the young and the old.”


    When Old Mrs. Constance heard this, her expression turned poignant as well. “Your father’s view


    wasn’t exactly wrong. After all, one would have to make different choices upon attaining a certain age.”


    After saying that, she then asked L what she was currently doing.
