Sophia opened the car door. After pondering on it for a moment, she said, “Thanks.” Getting out of the car, she
walked toward her house.
John rolled down the window. “Sophia.”
Stopping in her tracks, Sophia turned around and gazed at him. “Yes?”
John slowly turned to her. “I have been mulling over it for a few days, but I still can’t see why you’ve fallen in love
with Ian.”
His relentlessness about this topic made Sophia frown, so she stared at him without uttering a word.
Appearing to be puzzled, John asked, “What do you like about him? Is it his handsome face or his singing skill?”
These qualities were supposedly not enough to make Sophia fall in love with Ian as John didn’t think she was this
kind of shallow woman. However, Sophia simply stood there and gazed at him, thinking that he just hadn’t gotten
over it.
With a serious expression, Sophia explained, “He might not be as good as some men out there, but he treats me
much better than you did.” Then, she burst into laughter. “I don’t think I need to talk about my miserable life at
Constance Residence. I did try my best to win your heart. When the fact that we were divorced still wasn’t known to
the public, I was willing to accept you if you came back to me. However, you never got to understand my heart. I

to me. In comparison to you, I’ve finally come to the realization that I also deserve a man who treats me well.”
Shrugging, she sighed. “So let’s end it here between us.”
After staring at her for a while, John questioned, “Was I really so bad to you in the past?”
It couldn’t be said that John was bad to her. At least, he was very generous when it came to money. However,
humans were naturally greedy. When she was destitute, she thought that she would be content with having money,
but when she had a man’s financial support, she then craved love. Realizing that she couldn’t win his heart, she
eventually grew dejected, fearful, and lost.
Smiling, she said, “Not really. But perhaps, your bad outweighed your good. That’s why I still wasn’t happy.”
Letting out a sigh, John wanted to ask more questions. However, when he looked at her, he suddenly couldn’t utter
a word. Forget it. Why am I getting trouble for myself? Thus, John mumbled and said, “I hope that Ian will—”
I hope that Ian will treat you well. Those were the words he wanted to say, but they got stuck in his throat. Pressing
his lips together, he rolled up the window, turned the steering wheel and stepped on the gas pedal.
Rooted to the spot, Sophia watched his car leave. All of a sudden, her heart ached again as she pressed her hand
against her chest.
After entering her house, Sophia lay on a yoga mat and went into a meditation pose. There were many things that
she had to ponder on, but at that moment, her mind was occupied with the image of John sitting in his car. Covering
her face, she thought, It’s said that love hurts. It seems that I’m the victim.
Meanwhile, the talent show that Lorraine had invested in was ready to roll. After getting into contact with the
production team a few times, Ian got to learn what he had to do. Since he wasn’t among the first batch of
contestants, he had to wait for them to finish up before he would appear.
Upon learning that, Logan brought Ian to look for Sophia to celebrate it, for Lorraine had assured Logan that as
long as Ian could perform steadily, he was bound to be in the top three. The assurance made Logan feel delighted.
Not wanting to celebrate it at home, he decided to bring them somewhere to have fun.
Sophia, on the other hand, had been lethargic recently. For some reason, she couldn’t focus on whatever she did.
