This topic was slightly sensitive, so John and Mrs. Constance kept their silence. Old Mrs. Constance and Old Mr. Constance had managed to stay together since they were young up until now. The relationship that they had wasn’t something that could be defined with a few words.
Old Mrs. Constance had been calm ever since Old Mr. Constance’s passing. Until now, she had never shown any ounce of sadness. However, it didn’t mean that the feelings weren’t there.
They all fell in silence after that. John didn’t feel like eating anymore after taking a few bites. Although the steak was done just right, he had already lost his appetite. There wasn’t really any difference between eating this and eating some snacks, for it didn’t feel like a proper meal anymore.
When John placed his cutleries down, Mrs. Constance got confused. “What’s wrong? You don’t like it?”
John wiped his mouth with a napkin. “No. I’m just not that hungry as I ate a lot for lunch at the company.”
Mrs. Constance didn’t think too much about it and got the maid to clean up the table. The trio continued sitting at the dining room while Old Mrs. Constance inquired whether John got along well with Sophia. Right after she finished, Mrs. Constance lowered her voice and said, “They’re divorced anyway. Getting along for a show should be enough. They won’t be together in the future after all, so it really doesn’t matter whether they get along well.”
Old Mrs. Constance gave Mrs. Constance a look, for she didn’t quite agree with what had been said. “Don’t butt in too much in John’s private matters. Also, I’m warning you, you’d better behave during Owen’s birthday. I don’t want you to bring outsiders over and make the situation awkward.”
“What do you mean outsiders? If I were to invite anyone, they would be close to us!” Mrs. Constance couldn’t help but falter. As expected, a heads up from Old Mrs. Constance was required.
Old Mrs. Constance’s facial expression didn’t look good. “I don’t care whether we’re close. This is our family’s matter, so I’m warning you not to bring any outsiders over.”

So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
