Sophie blinked in surprise, her voice low. “Jason, why do we always rush Old Mr. Quintin’s place? Isn’t it just to keep him happy? Now that someone can make him happy, we should be glad. I don’t mind if Evelyn is pushing me away.”

Jason said, “Do you think Old Mr. Quintin, with Evelyn around, would care for you any less?”

Sophie bit her lip and remained silent.

Jason continued, “You’ve grown up Old Mr. Quintin’s side. To him, you’re no different from his own granddaughter. He likes Evelyn because of his old attachment; it doesn’t conflict with his affection for you. You don’t need to distance yourself from Old Mr. Quintin because of Evelyn.”

“I haven’t.” Sophie quickly replied. “How could my relationship with Old Mr. Quintin ever become distant?”

Jason said, “As long as you understand. Whether Evelyn is actually his granddaughter is still uncertain. You don’t have to let her words make you abandon the bond you’ve built with Old Mr. Quintin over the years. Even if she’s blood, she doesn’t have the right to drive you away.”

Sophie said, “I don’t want to cause any trouble that would upset Master.”

“Dummy,” Jason lifted his hand and gently stroked her hair. “You’ve got me, remember?”

Sophie smiled, “Yeah.”

Both were in a clear state of mind. As Jason’s hand moved closer, he realized he was overstepping and quickly withdrew it. “You took your medicine. Get some rest. Don’t overthink it. What would you like for lunch? I’ll cook for you.”
