Mrs. Constance had uttered such remarks in the past, so John truly didn’t want to listen anymore. He merely murmured an acknowledgment. “It’s late now, so you should sleep earlier. I’ve got to go since I still have something to do.”

 

Knowing that he was growing impatient, Mrs. Constance quickly went along with him. “Sure, sure, I will. We’ll talk next time since you’re busy.”

After hanging up the phone, John closed his eyes for a moment. There was a stringent feeling within him which he just couldn’t brush off. On his way back to his room, he walked past the study.

Sophia was still scratching her head inside, googling the questions that went over her head, but she just couldn’t understand the explanation given by Google at times. The door to the study was opened, and she sat before the computer, groaning softly from time to time.

These questions weren’t all that difficult, but perhaps Sophia had trouble understanding out of the blue since she’d never come across them. John pulled a chair over and sat down beside her. “Which one don’t you understand? I’ll explain it to you.”

 

an ounce of hesitation, Sophia pointed at a question on the screen at once. “I don’t understand this one.” John was patient and explained things to her one by one. His explanation is much simpler than Google’s. Sophia nodded slowly. “Don’t go first. Wait a moment, for I’m bound
