John turned around and closed the door before walking over to the bed. This time, he spoke slightly louder and
slower to ensure that Sophia could hear him loud and clear. “I said, let’s get a divorce.” Her gaze followed him until
he stood by the bed, looking down at her.
He’d initially thought that there’d be a hint of panic and anxiety in her eyes, but surprisingly, she merely looked at
him, her gaze even more placid than his tone earlier. Since she didn’t answer him, he asked, “Did you hear me?”
Sophia nodded. “I did.” Then, she put her cell phone away. “Have you discussed this with your family?”
To be honest, John didn’t discuss this with anyone, nor did he think this out in advance. However, he still replied,
“Yes. They’ve all agreed.”
Sophia looked thoughtfully at him. “So, you’re here to inform me, yes?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHeaving a sigh, John reassured her by saying, “Don’t worry. I’ll compensate you generously. I’ll give you whatever
amount you want.”
Sophia was silent for a while. In response, she didn’t mention the matter of money, merely nodding. “Okay, I
agree.”
Actually, this reaction of hers was also within his expectation. After all, a broken marriage was torturous to both
parties.
Despite knowing that she was reluctant to give up on this marriage, he was also aware that she was likewise
unhappy and miserable in this marriage. Thus, he often told himself back then that a divorce was good for them
both, for it would set them both free. Never had he thought that she’d change into an entirely different person after
the divorce, suddenly taking on attributes he loved. The Sophia who was timid, apprehensive, and cautious in her
speech had ceased to exist with the collapse of their first marriage. The Sophia who was then reborn was one he
could no longer hold onto. For that reason, he had to pay the price for the wrong choices he’d made in his first
marriage. He knew that it served him right since he was blind in the past and had wronged her. However, he didn’t
want to tell anyone about this experience, so he snickered when Logan asked about it. “Why are you asking about
this? Do you want to learn from me?” Logan shot him a glare. “Who wants to learn about proposing divorce from
you? I even have a child on the way now, so Lola and I will definitely be a loving couple in the future.” He wasn’t at
all flustered when he said this. At the side, Sophia’s brows furrowed, and she looked at Lola. “Is he this corny
usually?” Lola nodded gravely. “He’s usually even worse.” Subsequently, Logan glanced at Sophia out of the corner
of his eyes. “What do you know? This is known as putting thoughts into words. I’ve never concealed my love for my
darling. I’ve been telling her all about it so she knows how much I love her.” Sophia sucked in a breath. However,
she also understood that every couple had their own way of communicating.

Beside her, John chuckled. “It’s good to be like Logan since everything is out in the open.” He says whatever he
thinks, and he definitely puts it bluntly, so Lola must have a strong sense of security. Agreeing with John, Sophia
commented, “There won’t be any misunderstanding between you two, then.” Speaking of misunderstandings,
Logan’s brows abruptly went up, while Lola couldn’t help giggling beside him. Matilda looked at Lola. “What is it? Is
there a story there?” Logan smacked his lips. “Yup.” Feeling a touch embarrassed, Lola muttered, “Well, keep it to
yourself.” Logan, however, ignored her. He blathered on about the entire incident of how he told Lola a tiny lie back
when he made preparations to propose to her, only to be misunderstood in the end. With a solemn expression on
his face, he groused, “Say, she should have just asked me outright if she misunderstood me. She should have just
asked where I went earlier and why I wasn’t at the clubhouse. However, she just wouldn’t ask me that, and I didn’t
understand her meaning, so the misunderstanding was then set in stone. She even talked about us merely being in
the early phase of a relationship, so it was probably just ty that kept us together. I was just so chagrined back
then, thinking that she was already sick of me.”
