Dad is indeed anticipating going on the business trip this time, for he can’t wait to escape this place. As far as John knew, Matilda seemed to be calling and texting William frequently these days, bugging him with invitations to have a meal together and requests to meet up.
And Mom isn’t the kind of person who beats around the bush, so she’s very straightforward, declaring that she wants to make up with him.
I’m not all that certain what Dad thinks of it all, but he definitely has no plans to start over with Mom right now. However, he can never be assertive and resolute with her, so he can’t bring himself to refuse her, yet he’s reluctant to agree. Hence, he can’t wait to leave this place so that he can take a breather.
The corners of his mouth curving upward, he noted, “Dad probably thinks that the collaborative partner this time is promising, so he wants to go over and assess the situation.”
On second thought, I’m quite impressed with Mom. Zack said that one must be aggressive, and she’s putting this term into practice extremely well.
After a while, Lady Jennifer changed the subject and shifted the focus back on Dylan once again. She said that she’d pondered it for a long time, yet she just couldn’t figure out who Dylan meant when he said he had someone whom he liked.
After all, his social circle was limited, and he was very much like John, having no pastime save going to the office. Thus, she truly had no inkling of any lady he’d ever associated with and developed feelings for at that.
Old Mrs. Constance was likewise at a loss, so she asked her whether he often mentioned any one of the ladies she introduced to him recently, thinking that it might be one of those ladies.
