Tristan made his way toward the pair.

“Did you enjoy your stay at the resort, Old Mr. Tanner? Why didn’t you stay a little longer?” Tristan greeted Josiah as he walked toward them.

“There’s much to do at home. I can’t just be away for so long.”

Josiah was a man who had one foot in his grave.

However, he did not feel comfortable letting Sophie do all the heavy lifting.

“Don’t worry, Old Mr. Tanner. Both Sophie and I are around. Nothing’s going to happen,” said Tristan reassuringly. Nobody was going to mistreat Sophie in his presence.

“Soph, the driver will take me back. I know you’re busy, so I should let you get back to work. You needn’t worry about me!” Since Josiah had a driver, there was nothing to be concerned about.

“Let me take you home instead!”

Even though there was a driver, Sophie still did not feel at ease.

“Do I look like a child to you? Just take it easy! Tell you what. I’ll give you a call when I get home. How does that sound?” Knowing that Sophie was concerned about his safety, Josiah felt warmth bloom in his heart.

“Old Mr. Tanner, I think we should send you home,” said Tristan.

It would not take a long time anyway.

“Very well, then!”

Josiah sighed, shaking his head good-naturedly. They are such filial, dutiful kids.

I’m not going to waste any more time, then.

Tristan and Sophie sent Josiah home together. After relaying the necessary instructions to Morgan, Sophie and Tristan left the Tanner residence.

The roar of the car engine told Josiah that Sophie and Tristan had finally set off.

“Morgan, be frank with me. Do you think I’ve been taking advantage of Sophie?” asked Josiah unwittingly. “If not for me, Sophie would have been far away by now. She doesn’t really need to worry about this stuff at home.”

Josiah knew, deep down, that he was holding Sophie back.

“Old Mr. Tanner, Ms. Tanner is a good person. I think she just wishes for you to be at peace,” replied Morgan. “Don’t think too much about it.”

As he glanced out the window, Josiah shook his head.
