A Correct answer
Explanation

The statement has negative connotations. 'Until supper' would have positive connotation, and should preferably be rephrased as '...... will come back by supper'. For 'no preposition' to be right, we have to change 'supper' to 'supper time' to convey that he will not be retuning until then. Negative connotation is very well conveyed by 'after supper'.
