Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 337

"There seems to be a bit of misunderstanding here, Shawn." Charles leaned against the couch and crossed his slender legs. "First of all, I am partnering up with Johnson Enterprises, not with you."

"Second of all, I am a businessman, so I pay more attention to whether this partnership can bring benefits to Harris Corporation. You will be the president of Johnson Enterprises soon, right? With the immature thinking that you have, I’m honestly worried about Uncle Johnson."

Incensed by what he said, Shawn sprung up from the couch and pointed his finger at him.

Charles raised his head to look at him, his aura was not weak at all. “Think before you speak, Shawn. Don’t say anything that you shouldn’t.”

"...I’ve blamed you wrongly, Mr. Harris. I was the short-sighted one." Shawn held himself back for a very long time before squeezing these words from his throat.

Charles said, "It's okay. Like Zachary, I'm a magnanimous person, so I will be the bigger man."

Shawn's complexion alternated between red, blue, and white. It was more colorful than an artist’s palette.

After discussing the partnership, Charles asked the servant to fetch the contract and pen from the room and signed the contract on the spot.

Sophia sat on one side in silence, debating whether to bring Madam Johnson upstairs to see her mother or bring her mother downstairs to see Madam Johnson.

"I’m looking forward to working with you. I hope we will have more and more opportunities for partnership in the future!" Madam Johnson darted several glances at the contract with delight, then stood up and stretched out her hand towards Charles.

Charles smiled but did not take her hand. "My wife is strict, so it won’t be convenient for us to shake hands."

Sophia, "..."

"I was once young as well, so I can totally understand!" Madam Johnson handed the contract to Shawn very carefully and asked him to keep it.

She then continued, "Soph, where’s your mother? I thought I would be able to see her as soon as I arrived. It has been more than half an hour, though, where is she?"

"My mother may be sleeping. I will go and get her right now," Sophia said.

"Is she sleeping or does she look down on this old friend now that she has become part of the Harris family?" Madam Johnson asked harshly.

Sophia frowned slightly, stifling the discomfort in her heart, and answered mildly, "She isn’t that kind of person. You worry too much. I will go upstairs and get her right away."

"I think it’s an inconvenience for her to come downstairs, though. Forget it, I'll go upstairs by myself!" Madam Johnson waved her hand at her and went up the stairs straight away. "Which room is she in?"

At this point in time, James had already left for the office. Sophia was not worried that she would see something inappropriate, hence she led her straight to the room door.

"Mom—" Sophia knocked on the door.

Madam Johnson pushed the door open before anyone from the other end of the door could answer. "We have known each other for decades and we’re one soul in two bodies. We can skip these empty formalities!"

The door opened.

The blanket on the bed had been folded up, looking extremely neat and tidy.

Jenny was standing by the window, looking out, turning her head when she heard the noise. The moment she saw Madam Johnson, however, blood drained from her face at once.

"Why… why are you in my house?" Jenny pointed at Madam Johnson with a complicated look on her face.

This reunion was completely different from what Sophia had expected. She found it difficult to read her mother's emotions. It looked like guilt, regret, and resentment…

She felt slightly uneasy all of a sudden.

Was it inappropriate for her to bring Madam Johnson over to see Mom?

"What do you mean by why am I in your house?" Madam Johnson looked aggrieved. "Jenny, is that supposed to be the attitude you’re showing me now that I’m here to see you when you’ve not visited me for so many years?"

Jenny looked at Sophia, hesitating to speak.

Sophia felt like something was wrong. She walked towards Madam Johnson and said, "Madam Joh..."
