This woman really doesn’t care about me meeting Isabelle today.
Sophia really looked like a pregnant woman with her small baby bump as John walked over after staring at her for a
moment. “You didn’t wait for me to eat dinner together.”
However, Sophia gave him a look. “How old are you? Do you still need me to wait for you? Are you saying that you
won’t eat if I don’t wait for you?”
John smacked his lips. “I met Isabelle just now and we talked a lot.”
Still, Sophia only replied by grunting.
Not getting the reaction he wanted, John added, “I didn’t expect Isabelle to actually trust me that much.”
Sophia chuckled at that. “She doesn’t only trust you, but she loves you as well.”
This made John feel better as Sophia sounded slightly jealous. So, he reached out to pinch Sophia’s cheek. “Are you
upset about it?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSophia chuckled again. “You’re overthinking it. I’m just teasing you.”
Then, she pushed John’s hand away and started walking toward the house as she asked, “What did you guys talk
about? Since you want to tell me about it so badly, I’ll do you a favor and ask you about it.”
Immediately, John pouted as he felt that displeasure again.
This woman just wouldn’t react in the ways that I expected her to. All she did was to reply to me with those
perfunctory words.
Still, John briefly explained about the document files that Isabelle showed him.
Although Sophia didn’t really understand, she was still surprised. “Is there anything wrong with the documents?”
John grunted. “I suspect that it might be related to the shadow bank.”
He still remembered investigating the driver that tailed him and finding out that he was locked up due to a fight.
However, there were also claims that they were in the middle of an illegal transaction.
If that transaction was real, it would be kept under wraps as well and it would surely be related to those accounts
they saw earlier.
Hence, it was possible that the Baileys were the one who established the shadow bank in the dark. Or rather, they
were just using the shadow bank as a cover to do illegal transactions behind it.
Sophia looked bored. “So, you’re saying that Isabelle isn’t involved with those from the Baileys that wanted to harm
me, right?”
John nodded. “It should be.”
Sophia sighed. “This is all your fault.”
When he heard that, John felt wronged. How would he know that nodding and agreeing to an engagement in the
past would cause him so much trouble now?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt seemed like everything was settled after he married Sophia for a year and completely cut off all connections with
the Baileys.
After he got divorced, he never did anything to cross the line with Isabelle, so he couldn’t understand why the
Baileys would stir things up because of him again.
Sophia blinked as she pondered on the matter for a moment before she got bored.
The thought of what happened between Isabelle and her made her head hurt, so she waved him off. “Stop it. I’m
done with it already. I’m fine as long as you can manage to handle everything.” Then, Sophia caressed her baby
bump. “I don’t have time to think about anything other than this kid in my tummy right now.”
John nodded and reached out to caress Sophia’s tummy as well. “You just have to take care of yourself and the
baby. Just leave the rest to me.”
Their conversation ended right there and John went to eat while Sophia accompanied him as she was bored.
However, John went out halfway to give his underling a call and instructed them to investigate if there were any
illegal businesses at the shadow bank.
Sophia had her phone in her hand and she twirled it around until John finished making his call before saying, “I can’t
believe that Isabelle actually asked for your help for something like this.”
