“It’s fine. You guys continue practicing. Something has come up at home, so I need to go!” Sophie informed them.
“What happened? Did something happen to Old Mr. Tanner?” Mark asked urgently. “I’ll go with you.”
“There’s no need for that. It shouldn’t be anything serious. Continue your practice. If something does come up, I’ll give you a call.”
Regardless of what happened, I’ll handle it.
“All right. You can use my car.” Mark tossed his keys to her.
“Great!”
Calling for a taxi is inconvenient, so I might as well take Mark’s car.
Twenty minutes later, Sophie arrived at the Tanner residence.
Josiah sat alone in the living room, sulking.
It had been quite a while since he spoke. So much time has passed, yet none of them are back yet. That can only mean one thing—they don’t want to come back. I guess no one listens to me anymore. Does everyone become this pitiful after they turn old?
Sophie caught Josiah’s sad look even when she was still at the front door. Her heart sank.
What’s wrong? Why is he all alone in the house?
“Grandpa, I’m back.” Sophie took a seat by his side.
Josiah’s head jerked up at Sophie’s voice.
“Why are you back? Haven’t you been really busy lately with the upcoming concert? All while managing TS Entertainment and Tanner Group at the same time.”
“I missed you, so I came back. Is there anything more important than my grandpa in this world? Nothing,” Sophie answered with a grin.
