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.

“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?”
