John could understand that, but he was here for something else. “Grandma told me you guys weren’t in love when you were married.”

William smiled. “She really tells you everything, huh?” Released from his burden, William told him openly, “We spent the first five years arguing, but then we settled down. I think the love only started budding from that point.”

“Five years? That’s a long time,” John mumbled.

“Yeah, it was,” he replied. “We took a longer time than most couples. Some of them started falling in love right after the marriage, but we were different. Your mother has a big attitude. It was impossible to fall for her.” Then, he guffawed. The divorce didn’t seem to affect him adversely. Instead, he looked happier than ever.

That was when John slowly looked sterner, and he frowned.

“Why are you suddenly asking me this though?” William queried.

John sighed. “Nothing. I just feel puzzled.”

William looked at his son. “About what? Sophia, or Isabelle?”

A serious expression crept up on John’s face. “Isabelle?”

William crossed his hands on his legs. “You went to the golf course with Isabelle that day.”

To that, John grunted. “Yes. I told you that I had to inspect a sample product for future supply purposes.”

When he heard that, William shook his head. “You’re still inexperienced, so you don’t know what happened.” It wasn’t until William saw how the Baileys responded did he realize what happened. Slowly, he went to the window. “You shouldn’t have gone out with Isabelle alone. No matter what, you two meeting alone is bad, given the condition.” Then, William changed his tone. “Forget it. Now that we’re at this point, it’s useless to talk about it. Just put it in the past.”

That was John’s plan anyway; he wouldn’t be paying attention to it now that it had happened.
