John was usually very cold toward others. His coldness was often in the form of impatience and
disregard. But to Sophia, he was really polite. Although his attitude toward her was better, it was
obvious that their relationship was very distant and formal. It’s definitely not as intimate as what I’m
witnessing now!
Sophia turned to look at Dylan, then glanced at Isabelle from the corner of her eye. Finally, she laughed
while moving her chair toward John so that she could sit right next to him. Then, she hugged John’s
arm. “The two of us are just being affectionate to each other! We’re even more different when
interacting in private.” Yup, we don’t even speak to each other in private. That’s what I mean by
‘different’.
As John turned his head and looked at Sophia, she leaned her head on his shoulder. From his current
angle, he could see her eyelashes. This woman actually has such long eyelashes. The eyelashes
fluttered with Sophia’s every blink, casting shadows on her eyelids. Every time he looked at her up
close, he felt that he could discover something new about her.
Just then, Isabelle took the tea kettle on the table and poured a cup of water, which she slowly took a
sip. Looking at Dylan, Sophia remembered what Young Master Owen had just wished for. She thus
grinned and said, “You don’t need to envy us. Uncle Owen has dedicated his birthday wish this year to
you, so you will soon find a girl that you like.”

blind dates for you. I wonder who she has found.”
All of a sudden, Sophia released John’s arm and leaned forward on the table. “Huh? Do you even need
to go on blind dates? With such great qualifications, you don’t need a blind date and can simply marry
any girl you like.”
The words made Dylan laugh. “I’m not that amazing. It’s not as simple as you think. What if the girl
doesn’t like me?”
Sophia shook her head. “How could she not like you? You have excellent qualifications. If she doesn’t
like you, then who will she like? Tsk, if I were that girl, and if you asked me out, boy would I agree!”
Obviously, Sophia was joking, and she laughed at her own joke afterward. However, John who was
next to her was startled. His face instantly fell.
Dylan was also a little surprised. Seeing Sophia laugh, he too gave a wry smile. Doesn’t she know that
what she said gave me quite a rude awakening?
Turning his head to look at Sophia, John waited for her to finish laughing before he said seriously,
“You’d better restrain yourself. I’m still sitting here.”
Sophia leaned over and hugged his arm again. “Oh, lookie there, someone’s jealous! You know I’m just
kidding.” Then, she raised her hand and pinched his face. However, she clearly took the opportunity to
pull a trick on him, for the pinch was quite forceful.
John didn’t dodge either. He just looked at Sophia with a serious face. Initially, Sophia was still smiling,
but after a while, her smile vanished. Why is this b*stard giving me such a look? I can’t stand him
looking at me like that!
Pursing her mouth, Sophia moved her chair away and sat up properly. As John watched her every
single movement, he almost laughed out loud. She really is a paper tiger.
For a long time, Isabelle had been paying attention to their interaction. She could feel the inexplicable
romance between the two of them. Women were inherently sensitive after all, and so she could
perceive many details that others might not be able to notice. Isabelle narrowed her eyes, lowered her
head and continued to drink water.
Sophia also stopped kicking up a fuss this time. While sitting there obediently, she held her cup and
sipped the water in it. At that moment, Dylan broke the silence after glancing at her. “By the way, how is
the renovation of your shop?”
