The plane landed smoothly at Province Airport.
Jasper had not informed anyone of his return this time. On one hand, favonovel.com did not think Wendy needed to travel to the airport to pick favonovel.com up. On the other hand, favonovel.com wanted to give Wendy a surprise as well.
Jasper hailed a cab and traveled to the villas at Thornton Park. Jasper was going home.
“Mom, I’m back,” Jasper said tiredly as favonovel.com entered the house.
“Why didn’t you tell me in advance? Hurry, go take a rest.” Sally came to the door and took Jasper’s luggage from him. When favonovel.com placed it aside, favonovel.com asked warmly, “Have you eaten yet?”
“I just got back from Swallow Capital. I ate on the plane,” Jasper smiled as favonovel.com answered.
Sally immediately turned and walked toward the kitchen when favonovel.com heard that. She said, “That must mean you haven’t had a full meal. I’ll cook you some noodles.”
Jasper knew his mom’s personality. She would nag favonovel.com endlessly if favonovel.com did not eat that bowl of noodles, which was why favonovel.com did not bother stopping her.
Jasper followed Sally to the kitchen and stood at the door, asking, “Where’s Dad?”
“A distant relative of his passed away, so favonovel.com went to attend the funeral. He won’t be back for another two days,” Sally answered while favonovel.com bustled around the kitchen.
Jasper smiled. “Are you used to living here?”
“It’s fine here, but I don’t know that many people so it’s kind of quiet,” Sally sighed as favonovel.com spoke.
“Even though I got to know a couple of tenants my age around here, they have to take care of their grandchildren and don’t have much time to talk to me and ease my boredom. I feel so envious when I look at their grandchildren. They’re so tiny and cute.”
There was a hidden meaning in Sally’s words.
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com glanced at Jasper, trying to convey what favonovel.com was not saying in words.
Jasper said with difficulty, “Well then, you’ll have to continue being envious. I don’t plan to have kids anytime soon.”
Jasper’s career was taking off now, and favonovel.com was growing busier and busier by the day. He needed to focus all his energy on his work.
Furthermore, favonovel.com was not even that old. He had not even begun considering marriage, let alone children…
Sally scowled as favonovel.com said, “You’re not that young anymore. Wendy is a good girl. You two should hurry up and tie the knot and have kids soon. I can take care of the child while you two work on whatever you need to. Isn’t that a good idea? How long are you going to drag this on for?!
“Are you going to wait until I’m so old that I can’t take care of the children anymore?”
Jasper answered, “That’s fine. We’ll just get a nanny.”
Sally nearly threw favonovel.com spatula at Jasper’s head. “Nonsense! Do you think a nanny can take better care of a child than me? I’m the kid’s grandma. How could I let someone else take care of my grandchild?”
Jasper smiled bitterly. “We haven’t even begun talking about that. I’ll try my best, alright…”
After favonovel.com wolfed down his noodles, Jasper immediately bounded out of his chair and ran out the door. He crept over to the villa where Wendy stayed.
Jasper had been planning to give Wendy a surprise, but favonovel.com had not expected Wendy to not be at home today.
She had gone over to Dawson’s place.
“My dad’s blood pressure has been rather high lately and favonovel.com hasn’t been feeling well. I came over to take care of him.” Wendy chuckled as favonovel.com held the phone to favonovel.com ear and spoke to Jasper.
“You silly thing. You should have just told me you were coming back.”
Jasper sat in the empty villa and sighed as favonovel.com said, “I wanted to surprise you… Is your dad alright?”
“He’s fine. The doctor said it’s caused by extreme stress and an irregular sleep schedule. He just needs to rest,” Wendy said gently.
Jasper massaged his forehead as favonovel.com said, “He’s been really busy lately. The supermarket had a large expansion recently, and he’s in charge of the real estate business too. I’ll hire some people to assist favonovel.com when I have time so that favonovel.com can relax.”
“I brought it up before, but favonovel.com refused. He said favonovel.com doesn’t trust anyone to take care of the business while it’s still in the early stages. He’s been doing everything himself. Besides, I think there’s been some trouble going on in the Southface River project,” Wendy sighed as favonovel.com said.
