Since Sophia was at her home, she wasn’t worried at all. Although she kept saying that she had drunk too much,
she never rejected it whenever Ian filled her glass with beer.
As they chatted and drank beer, they soon became tipsy.
Tottering out of the dining hall, Sophia held the handrail of the stairs firmly. “Ian, just get yourself a room in the
house. I can’t drink anymore.”
Wasted, Ian rested on the chair and gave an affirmative grunt before falling into silence.
Upon returning to her own room, Sophia plunged into her bed and dozed off.
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the window and cast its glow at the room. Feeling the warmth, Sophia
slowly opened her eyes as a face fell into her gaze.
Ian and Sophia were lying on the bed in identical positions with some distance between them. Fortunately, Ian had
his clothes on.
Sophia batted her eyes and suppressed her urge to scream. Sitting up straight, she lowered her head and was
relieved that she was still clad in her clothes as well. Apparently, nothing happened between them last night.
However, Sophia was still a little upset and even felt uncomfortable.
After staring at Ian for a while, she had the urge of waking him up and arguing with him. However, if he really
awakened, she wouldn’t even know what to say to him. Undecided, she eventually left the room and washed up in
the guest room.

them and hurled them into the trash can. Since he isn’t around anymore, it’s pointless to keep his things here.
After dilly-dallying for a while, she got herself ready and returned to her room in a daze. Reaching the door, she
was hesitating whether she should wake Ian up. If not, should she let him continue sleeping?
But if she did wake him up, she wouldn’t even know how to face him. Whatever she would do, it would be
embarrassing for her.
Since the door was open, she moved closer and took a look at the bed. To her surprise, Ian was nowhere to be
seen. Startled, she batted her eyelids. Is he gone? It’s strange. If he really left, he would have informed me about it.
With doubt in her voice, she called out, “Ian.”
Ian’s voice sounded from downstairs. “Yes, I’m here.”
After a moment’s pause, Sophia turned around and reached for the stairs. Ian was indeed on the first floor, but he
wasn’t alone. Standing on the staircase, Sophia was startled to see the other person as her eyebrows knitted
together.
Meanwhile, John was glaring at her with a grave expression. Without a doubt, he must have misunderstood
something. If Sophia were in his shoes, she would have taken it the wrong way as well.
Instead of explaining herself, she questioned, “What are you doing here so early in the morning?”
John asked in a glacial voice, “Am I interrupting the two of you?”
Ian burst into laughter and said to Sophia, “Please get changed first. Aren’t you going to the shop today? We’ll have
breakfast outside.”
Pressing her lips together, Sophia remained on the spot.
Just then, John said, “Sophia, I have underestimated you. You’re swift.”
Despite his ambiguous words, Sophia understood what he meant immediately. A few days ago, she told John that
she liked Ian but hadn’t managed to confess to him. Now, they were seen living together. Wasn’t that swift? For
some reason, Sophia put on a helpless smile. “Yeah, don’t you want to congratulate me?”
John stared fixedly at her without uttering a word.
Sophia then added, “Are you here to retrieve your belongings or send me anything? Whatever it is, get it all done in
one ago and don’t keep coming back. Even if you don’t find it troublesome, I find it bothersome.”
