Pursuing Her

Chapter 420

“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.


Warmth spread across Josiah's chest at Sophie's sweet words.

Has my Sophie always been this good at talking? Every problem is no longer an issue with her here.

“What happened, Grandpa? You don't look happy. Tell me, and I'll analyze the situation for you!”

“Willow has gotten engaged to Clayton!” Josiah's anger spiked the instant he brought up this topic.

Willow always makes me worry.

“Clayton?”

Sophie was surprised at the news. She had spent the entire day practicing, so she didn't have the time to look at her phone and was unaware of the latest happenings.

“Yes, and I only found out through the news. With the media's rampant reporting, Willow's name will be tied to Clayton's every action in the future!”

Naturally, Josiah knew about the conflict between Sophie and Clayton.

That was why he was infuriated when he saw news of Willow's engagement with Clayton.

“Oh, it's just an engagement. Don't worry. They won't last till the wedding.” Clayton will be incarcerated before he marries Willow.

“Soph, this Clayton is a ruthless man. Be careful, okay? I don't think I can take it if anything happens to you.”

“Rest assured. What can happen to me? The person who should be worrying right now is Clayton.”

Just then, the sound of a car engine came from outside.

Yale, Willow, and Charmaine had brought Clayton back.

It was Clayton's first time visiting the Tanner residence. Disdain filled him as he studied the house.

“Come on, Clayton! I'll take you to meet my grandpa!” Willow said with excitement. It'll be fantastic if Sophie is here since I'll get to brag in front of her. Sophie has been with Mr. Tristan for so long, yet he doesn't even consider acknowledging her as his wife, which means he's just playing her. On the contrary, I'm already engaged to Clayton. Now the whole of Jipsdale knows I'm Clayton's fiancée.

Willow felt that her life was perfect.

How can everything be so perfect?

When the group reached the living room, they saw Sophie sitting with Josiah. A wave of happiness surged through Willow at the sight of Sophie.

Life is going smoothly for me! Everything is right where I want them!

Willow intentionally tightened her grip on Clayton's arm, her intention to flaunt blatantly obvious.

“I'm back, Grandpa! Sorry for not telling you beforehand about my engagement with Clayton. I—”

A glance from Josiah had Willow stopping mid-sentence, unable to continue.

“Hi, Grandpa. I'm Clayton Zales!” Clayton, on the other hand, was collected as he introduced himself.

Josiah merely let out a huff and ignored him.

One look at him, and I can already tell he's not a nice man.

Yale couldn't bear to keep silent anymore after seeing Josiah's attitude.
