After staring at Sophia for a while with a cigarette in his mouth, he smiled. Then, he threw away the
cigarette and followed her into the house. Sophia went all the way up the stairs and into her room,
proceeding to throw herself onto the bed and sleep. In the meantime, John went into the room as well
and stood beside the bed while staring at her.
It was noon now and the sun wasn’t shining bright; soft rays of light shone gently into the room. John
walked over and sat beside her. Raising his hand, he gently stroked her face. Her face was fair and
soft, smooth to the touch. After stroking her for a while, he suddenly realized that his actions were
inappropriate. He instantly stood up and left the room, seeming to have turned tail and fled from shock.
After John closed the door from the outside only did Sophia open her eyes. She was actually awake
when John came in. There was confusion in her eyes, for she couldn’t figure out why he acted that way
just now.
Meanwhile, John had returned to his room and was sitting on the bed, staring at his own hands. He
couldn’t understand what had gotten into him either. After a while, he went to wash his face before lying
back on the bed. Since he couldn’t figure out what had happened, he gave up thinking about it and just
closed his eyes.
On the other hand, Sophia couldn’t get back to sleep. Tossing and turning in bed, she felt anxious for
no reason. She truly didn’t like that kind of uneasiness. Her whole life, there had only been one thing

imagined that she would marry him. Therefore, it didn’t come as a surprise to her when John suggested
a divorce. But now, the feeling of something out of her control had returned.
When it was about time, Sophia went out of the room. This time, she didn’t go downstairs and went to
John’s room instead. After gently knocking on the door, John’s voice came from inside. “Come in.”
Sophia opened the door but didn’t go in. Instead, she stood by the door. John was sitting on the bed,
looking at something on his phone. Sophia asked, “May I ask you something?”
John hummed while turning to look at her. “What is it? Go on.”
Sophia continued, “Since the issue of Infinity Group is over, when should we announce our divorce to
the public?”
John stared at Sophia, surprised. The woman then pursed her lips. “I think that we shouldn’t drag this
matter for too long since it isn’t beneficial to both of us, especially you. Right now, Infinity Group’s
reputation is down the drain so there’s no hope for them. Therefore, I think that this matter should…
Well, I think you know it too.”
The gentleness on John’s face instantly vanished and was replaced with a sneer. “Seems like you can’t
wait for that.”
See, he’s at it again! Lately, this b*stard had been speaking with heavy sarcasm. Besides, what did he
mean by she couldn’t wait for that? Weren’t they supposed to settle that issue whenever at the soonest
possible time? Why did she become the impatient one when she mentioned it? She hummed and
continued, “Yes, I can’t wait for it anymore. I’m still looking forward to finding my next love, so please
don’t waste my time.”
“Do you still need to look for one? Aren’t Ian or Dylan a ready option for you?” John asked her directly.
Sophia gave him a half smile, thinking that this man had indeed gone crazy. What nonsense was he
talking about?
However, Sophia just nodded and said seriously, “Yeap. However, I promised you that I won’t make you
feel embarrassed, so don’t worry. Dylan is not an option, though Ian is quite a good choice. We’ve even
bought our couple rings. After this, everything will go smoothly. Once you announce our divorce to the
public, I’ll announce that Ian and I got together. Isn’t that a great idea?
Since it will be back to back, people might come to the conclusion that our divorce is due to me having
an extramarital affair. Mr. Constance, no matter how you look at it, you’ll be the one benefiting from it.
Therefore, you should hurry and find a time to announce our divorce so I can discuss with Ian on the
date of our official announcement. Right after you move out from here, I’ll ask Ian to move in right
away. After all, I can’t withstand loneliness at all…”
