Chapter 294
John handed the glass to Sophia. “I have never liked this kind of drink.”
Turning his head to the maid, he said, “Just give me a glass of plain water later.”
Raising her hand, Sophia pushed the glass away. “I don’t like this thing either. I’ll have a glass of plain
water too, please.”
The reactions made Dylan chuckle. “I guess I will drink plain water too. Drinking this will just make my
throat sticky.”
Isabelle was a bit embarrassed by now.
Sophia was amused. Mrs. Constance should be even more embarrassed than Isabelle.
Without expecting to see this happen, Mrs. Constance was stunned as she stood at the side.
At first, she was very upset when she saw John pushing the juice to Sophia.
But in the end, Sophia didn’t take it at all, so it was Mrs. Constance who was embarrassed now.
Just then, Isabelle raised her hand and took a glass over. “If you guys don’t want any, then I’ll drink all
of it. I’m really thirsty. Give me all three glasses.”
Humming in agreement, Sophia looked at Isabelle and tried to suppress her laughter.
The maid thus hurriedly responded, “Then I will get some water over.”
After she left with the tray, Mrs. Constance was left standing there by herself.
With his usual friendliness, Dylan said, “Aunt, come and sit down. Let’s have a chat.”
There were extra chairs next to them, so Mrs. Constance could just move one over.
However, she declined his invitation and turned to face Isabelle. Her tone suddenly became kinder as
she said, “Belle, what kind of fruit do you want to eat? I will ask the maid to bring you some.”
With a smile, Isabelle replied, “I’m fine with anything. Thank you.”
In response, Sophia slowly stood up and stretched her body. “I think I’d better go to the main building
and greet the people there first. I’ve been here for a while, but I haven’t met Grandma.”
After looking at her, John stood up as well. “Let’s go together. There are a lot of people over there.”
Since the others were leaving, Dylan quickly stood up too. “Then, I’ll go over and take a look. I’ve been
sitting here for a while anyway.”
Raising the corner of her mouth, Sophia glanced at Isabelle, who soon put the glass of juice down
before she finished drinking it.
Since everyone was leaving, she couldn’t sit here anymore.
She had quite a passive personality after all.
Sensing that Isabelle was uncomfortable, Mrs. Constance pulled the latter over and said, “Belle, stay
here and chat with me. I just made some good food. I’ll have the maid bring some over for you.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Naturally, Isabelle agreed sweetly.
Ignoring the two of them, Sophia directly walked to the main building.
The main building was decorated in a very festive manner. There were large potted plants at the
entrance, and the interior was adorned with ornaments too.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Constance was seen chatting with four men and three of their wives on the
couch.
There were tea and fruits on the coffee table next to the couch.
Sophia walked forward and greeted Old Mrs. Constance with a smile. Then, she looked at Young
Master Owen. “Uncle Owen, it’s good to see you.”
Seeing that Sophia was being so polite, Old Mrs. Constance quickly beckoned to her, “Come here!
Come and sit down.”
There was an empty seat next to Old Mrs. Constance, so Sophia went over to her.
No one seemed to remember what unhappy things had happened the last time they were here.
Sitting near Sophia, Young Lady Jennifer looked away after just a glance.
Just then, John came over and said, “Sophia went to the shop to overlook the renovation just now, so
she came a bit late.”
Upon hearing the explanation, Old Mrs. Constance nodded. “It’s not too late. We haven’t started dinner
yet, so it’s fine.”
William, who was sitting beside her, looked at Sophia. “What did you give us? It’s so big, and even
John said he didn’t know what it is.”
“It’s just a tea set. Not sure if Uncle Owen likes it. When I saw it for the first time, I thought it looked
good. But it’s really too heavy and was rather laborious to move it over,” Sophia replied.
Knowing that it was a tea set, Young Master Owen was startled for a moment. He liked to drink tea, so
there were many tea sets on display in his study room at home.
