The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 1625

They went to a private dining restaurant that was world-famous for its delicious food. It was notoriously difficult to get a table there. The owner was also a very mysterious, eccentric person. He never looked into the background of the guests and only arranged for reservations in the order they came in.

No matter who the guests were, how rich they were, or what powerful family background they came from, it all came down to luck whether one would get a table.

Adam had always loved the food there even before he moved abroad. When he came back this time, instead of considering those Michelin-starred restaurants, he thought of this restaurant first.

However, because he only made the reservation the day before, he did not manage to get a private room. In other words, he had to make do with a table in the main dining hall.

The 'family' sat around the table. Adam first took the menu and ordered a few special dishes that suited his taste before ordering some of the usual favorites of his wife and younger daughter. He then gave the menu to his eldest daughter.

Sophia took the menu and asked Jeremy, "Zachary, what would you like to eat?"

"I'm fine with anything, but order something light for Benjamin."

Sophia was a little disappointed that Jeremy only cared about what 'Benjamin' wanted to eat. He did not even bother to pretend to care about her in front of Adam.

However, she still nodded and did as she was told and ordered some light food for 'Benjamin'.

After ordering, Sophia handed the menu to the waiter and tried to strike up a conversation with Adam so there would not be any awkward silence among them. "So Dad, now that you're here, we should be able to settle the matters here within a week, right?"

"Of course!" said Adam confidently. "You don't have to worry about the matter anymore. It'll be completely resolved soon, and we can all return home together."

Sophia smiled and said, "I'm pretty sure those people won't dare cause trouble after seeing you. Oh, I can't wait to go back and have a wedding with Zachary! I've already made an appointment with the best wedding dress designer in the world, and I'll be able to get my measurements taken when I'm back home."

Adam was happy to see Sophia happy. "Once you have your wedding, I plan to hand over the family business to you. You'll be completely in charge then."

Sophia had been looking forward to that day for a long time, but she still pretended to be hesitant about it. "But you're still so young, Dad! How can you retire so early?"

Adam glanced at Melinda beside him tenderly. "I've long promised Melinda that we'll retire to the countryside. We'll buy a farm and live a simple life."

Sophia glanced at Melinda before saying, "Alright, Dad. If you insist then I'll take over the business. Don't you worry, I won't let you down! It's just that... Won't Lilin have any objections to me taking over the family business?"

Before Adam could speak, Melinda smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that, Sophia. Lilin dreams of being a painter when she grows up, and she even said she wants to support herself with her paintings alone. She has no business acumen to manage a company, so it's only right for your dad to leave the family business to you."

Sophia smiled and said, "In that case, I won't force her then. It's really not easy to manage a business. There are so many things to worry about. In fact, I think it's smart of her to choose such a relaxing calling."

Lilin knew Sophia was secretly happy about the fact that she got to have the family business all to herself. After all, Sophia never saw her as her sister, so why would she want to share the family business with her?
