They remained in that position for a while before John slowly let go of Sophia. He then turned to sit at
the side and bowed his head. “Get out.”
Sophia didn’t even bother to wear her clothes. After getting up and grabbing her skirt from the side, she
fled from the room, leaving John sitting on the bed. It was then he recalled the scene of their marriage.
It was the conventional kind, where the chief witness recited the wedding vows and at last asked if
Sophia was willing to make the pledge. In her clear mesmerizing voice, she said, “I do.”
However, the very same woman told him in tears just now, “I don’t.” She wasn’t willing to and it was
actually reasonable. After all, he wasn’t kind to her and she saw him as inferior to Ian. Indeed, Ian had
outshined him in every way.
After sitting there for quite some time, a call came from Logan. Naturally, Logan had no idea what had
happened so he asked John if he had settled his issues at home and if he would like to go out for a
drink. Only then did John recall what he said to Logan.
Logan even asked if Sophia was next to him because he couldn’t get to her. John thought about it and
replied, “She’s not feeling well so she won’t be going out tonight. Let’s go out and have a drink.”
Slightly disappointed, Logan said, “Since Ian and Sophia aren’t coming along, it’s just both of us.”

Logan sighed. “Alright; let’s go. But is it okay to leave Sophia alone at home? ”
Standing up, John replied, “It’s okay. She’s asleep. It’ll be fine as long as I come home earlier.” With
that, he got dressed and went out.
Meanwhile, Sophia sat on the bed in her room and stared blankly at the wall. She was truly terrified by
John just now. Although the man wasn’t usually mild-tempered, neither would he lose control that way.
Even now, her chin still hurt. Only when Sophia heard John’s car driving off did she slowly bury her
face into her palm.
The moment John drove away, Sophia’s phone rang. She looked at her phone and saw that it was Ian.
He had sent a message. ‘Sophia, I’m at your door.’
Staring at the message for quite some time, Sophia finally recalled something. Did these two bump into
each other when John left? During her earlier quarrel with John, although she initially meant to urge
him to announce their divorce, she more or less involved Ian in it toward the end.
Perhaps that childish man would vent his anger on Ian when he ran into him because he wasn’t able to
get his hands on her. Immediately, she got down from the bed and dashed downstairs in her pajamas.
Walking down the stairs, she was relieved when she saw that John’s car was not in the yard. She
thought that perhaps John had left and they didn’t meet each other.
However, when Sophia walked out of the yard and went to the door, she instantly spotted John’s car
parked over there. John didn’t get down from the car, which meant that he was still inside. Meanwhile,
Ian was standing right in front of the car.
Sophia closed her eyes. Unfortunately, her worries came true. Ian turned and saw Sophia so he walked
past the car, heading toward her. “Why did you come out in your pajamas?”
Sophia opened her mouth but it was a while before anything came out. “What brings you here?”
“It so happens that I was passing by so I dropped by to see if you’re at home. Logan has been
hounding you all day, yet you still didn’t go over,” Ian replied.
It was at that moment that John finally came out of the car.
