Life at the Top

The plane landed smoothly at Province Airport.

Jasper had not informed anyone of his return this time. On one hand, he did not think Wendy needed to travel to the airport to pick him up. On the other hand, he 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 he 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 she placed it aside, she asked warmly, “Have you eaten yet?”

“I just got back from Swallow Capital. I ate on the plane,” Jasper smiled as he answered.

Sally immediately turned and walked toward the kitchen when she 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 him endlessly if he did not eat that bowl of noodles, which was why he did not bother stopping her.

Jasper followed Sally to the kitchen and stood at the door, asking, “Where’s Dad?”
