Did John go back to the shady-looking bank and investigate the matter further? At the thought of that, Sophia quickly told Logan about the bank that she and John passed by earlier that day. “I think John could be there.”
Learning about the possibility, Logan was silent for a few seconds before he answered, “Alright, I know what I should do now.”
After both of them chatted over the phone for a while, they ended the tele-conversation, whereupon Sophia made her way to the living room with her mobile phone. While she was too restless and anxious to sit still, Old Mrs. Constance happened to enter the house at that moment. Seeing the old lady, Sophia walked up to her and greeted her. “Grandma.”
Upon noticing her worried look, Old Mrs. Constance appeared to be a little taken aback. “What’s wrong with you, girl? You don’t look so well. Tell me what happened.”
Sophia touched her face and asked, “Do you have Dad’s number, Grandma? I just went through my contact list and realized I don’t have his number.”
Old Mrs. Constance stared at Sophia in a trance and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you have something you want to talk to him about?”
Sophia nodded, as she had no intention of hiding her concern. “I’ve been trying to reach John, but he didn’t pick up the call. So, I just want to know whether he is in the office at the moment.”
Assuming that Sophia was trying to keep tabs on her husband, Old Mrs. Constance laughed in response. “Haha. I see what you’re worried about now. Where else could he be beside his office?” Despite saying that, she instructed the maid to bring her phone and showed William’s number to Sophia.
After jotting down William’s number, Sophia immediately left the living room and headed outside to phone William. Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Constance smiled and shook her head in a helpless manner while telling the maid her opinion. “I can’t get enough of these two little kids. They’re lovely, aren’t they?”
