John let out an amused laugh as soon as he witnessed Sophia’s expression. “So what about me? Why don’t you tell
everybody what have I done?”
Meanwhile, Sophia was sulking while she glanced tentatively at Isabelle. She then said in a lowered volume, “Why
would you need me to tell you about it? All I will say is that you’re up to no good.”
However, John didn’t even bother to lower his volume when he replied, “If you’re talking about what happened last
night between us, I’ll be honest and tell you that I lost control.”
Sophia let out a hiss. You son of a b*tch, watch what you say! Y-Y-You’re obviously trying to mislead people!
On the other hand, Logan moved closer to them with a cheeky expression on his face. “Did you two… Aren’t you
divorced?”
Turning to look at Logan, Sophia chided him, “You should shut up.”
John gave a grunt before telling Logan nonchalantly, “While we are divorced, it isn’t that out of the ordinary for
something to happen between a single man and a single woman. Besides, we know each other well.”
He’s being a f*cking shameless b*stard. Sophia was so furious that she almost wound up laughing. “You’d better
watch what you say! Even if you don’t care about your reputation, I do care about mine!”
Although Isabelle wasn’t looking at them, she could hear everything they were saying, which made her heart strung
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtup. What John said was obviously implying that he spent the last night together with Sophia. Isabelle’s impression of
John was that he was stern, and he never joked about anything, nor did he ever spout nonsense, so she assumed
that he was telling the truth. Despite how her hand was clutching the hem of her gown, her expression betrayed
nothing.
John was smiling while facing Logan. “I will refrain from saying anything, but you can let your imagination run wild.”
What John said led Logan to cast a sneaky glance at both of them, whereas Sophia scoffed at John after staring at
him for a while. “Sure, since we’re now on the subject, I would like to know why you went to my house last night?”
Sophia’s question stunned John, as he was in fact struggling to make a decision on whether he should go to her
house last night. His brain was muddled by various thoughts throughout the past few days, but he eventually
decided to go to Sophia’s house. However, she wasn’t in, while the doors and windows were locked, so John decided
to scale the building to reach for the balcony, only to find that the door up there was unlocked, which he used to
enter her room.
When John was waiting for Sophia to come home, there were a few times he considered leaving before she arrived.
However, he eventually waited until she arrived despite his inner strife. Sophia came home alone, but for a second
when he was standing on the second floor, John was afraid that he might witness Sophia getting out of the car
alongside Ian. The fact that she came alone left John feeling as if having his prayers answered.
Meanwhile, Sophia gave him a shove after staring at him for a while. “I’m talking to you, so answer me! What were
you planning to do when you went to my house last night? You’re acting weird.”
Upon turning to face her, a smile tugged at the corner of John’s lips. “I was trying to figure out what makes you
attractive.”
With a pout, she said, “Everything!”
John wore a smile while he replied, “Yeah, everything indeed.”
After staring at him for some time, Sophia clicked her tongue before adjusting her posture. “You’re crazy.”
Meanwhile, John turned to look at the people from the press, who were observing them from afar. He figured that
they must’ve gotten everything they needed since he had been playing along with the scenario.
After some time, the Blackwells arrived, with Kate Blackwell being supported by one of them. She was old, and her
clothes hung loosely on her shriveled frame.
