I Walked Away Seven Years Too Late But Right on Time novel Chapter 60

On the last weekend of January, Sophie and Sarah finally moved into their new house.

Jason Jenkins brought Mia over to celebrate their housewarming.

The second they stepped through the door, Mia dramatically threw her hands up. "Auntie Sophie's new house is so pretty!"

In reality, the decor was very simple and cozy. Over the past few weeks, while traveling for work, Sophie had picked up various trinkets and displayed them on the living room shelves, which immediately captivated Mia's attention.

Mia shoved a bouquet of fresh flowers into Sophie's hands and immediately bolted over to inspect the decorations.

Sophie let her mother entertain Jason and Mia while she retreated to the kitchen to start cooking.

Before long, she had whipped up a full table of absolutely mouthwatering dishes.

"Auntie Sophie, this crispy lemon shrimp is amazing! Grandma Sarah, can we have this again tomorrow?" Mia raved between bites.

"I have no idea how to make this," Sarah confessed, picking up a piece of shrimp to study it.

"I'm genuinely surprised. Your cooking is even better than hers, and the seafood bisque is fantastic," Jason commented with a warm, appreciative smile.

"I took a few classes. Honestly, I didn't get many chances to cook it."

Sophie bit down on her chopsticks. Thinking back, she had been such a fool. She had specifically taken cooking classes just for him, but he was barely ever home for dinner.

After their guests left and the mother-daughter duo finished cleaning up, Sarah unwrapped the Japanese dining set Jason had brought as a gift.

"These are stunning. This set couldn't have been cheap, right?"

Sophie glanced at the brand on the box. "No, it wasn't cheap."

"Sophie."

Hearing the sudden shift in her mother's tone, Sophie looked up. "What's wrong?"

"What do you think of Jason?"
