When John heard what Sophia said, he smiled slightly. “He’s probably getting nervous.”

Zack didn’t know what was going on. “That McCaw guy is getting nervous? Boss, what did you do?

Why is he getting nervous?”

However, he leisurely answered, “I’ve told you. You’ll find out when the time comes.”

Thus, Zack secretly curled his lips derisively.

On the other hand, Sophia did not say anything else.

The dishes were served up quickly. It was clear to see that she had over-ordered. Moreover, the owner

was afraid that they would cancel their orders, so he quickly served all the dishes they ordered.

The three of them looked like they were eating with all their might. Even so, there were still a lot of

leftovers in the end.

Sophia hailed the owner, “Here; please wrap these up.”

The hotel had a refrigerator. Therefore, they could keep it in the fridge once they returned.

Afterward, the owner came over to hand them their packed-up food with a smile. Moreover, he gave

them a small discount while they were paying, claiming that it was because Sophia was so good-

looking.

Sophia was happy too as she made some polite small talk with him. Alas, everything was settled.

Wiping her mouth, she prepared to leave.

However, John looked at her and said, “Take your medicine.”

She reflexively stopped and looked at him.

On the other hand, he didn’t look at her. He simply stood by the door and looked elsewhere.

Then, she laughed softly and took out her medicine.

The medicine she had to take after her meals were even more than those she had to take before her

meals. Moreover, they were numerous and tiny. Just looking at it filled her mouth with a bitter aftertaste.

Even so, she didn’t hesitate to down them all in several gulps. Then, she packed up her items. “Now,

we can leave, right?”

He didn’t even bother to spare her a glance as he walked out.

Later, they took a taxi back to the hotel. It was only noon when they returned.

Sophia was covered in sweat and she couldn’t stand the feeling. Thus, she hurried into the bathroom to

take a shower. However, she heard the sound of the door opening while she was taking her shower.

It must be John.

Truthfully, nothing could be seen through the frosted glass. Still, she smiled wickedly.

Sure enough, the sound of the door closing immediately followed the sound of it opening before. John

had entered, then immediately went out again.

After that, she leisurely took her time finishing her shower and went out with a towel wrapped around

her. She didn’t even bother to dry her hair. Instead, she stood by the window and looked outside. With

the sea breeze blowing in through the window, it wouldn’t take long for her hair to dry even without

blow-drying it.

She stood by the window. A while later, the door opened again and John came in. He first glanced

toward the bathroom before glancing in another direction.

Then, Sophia turned to look at John. “You’re here to use the bathroom again.”

In return, John scowled. “Can you dress more decently?”

She laughed. “What do you mean by ‘decently’? Despite how I look, I’m covering what needs to be

covered up!”

He had never been willing to argue with her. If he was reluctant before, he was even more so after their

divorce. Thus, he said, “I need to use the room. Please get out.”

Chuckling, she turned around and walked out.

Before she could take more than two steps, he said again, “Dress appropriately.”

Then, she became a little speechless. “What now? Just use the room; why do you need to care about

what I do?”

Turning his head to look at her, he replied, “Zack is coming over later.”

Hence, she became irritated. Even so, she went back and grabbed her clothes before turning to leave.

As usual, John locked the door behind him, acting as if he was afraid she might peek on him.

Sophia changed into her clothes in the living room. After mulling over it for a while, she opened the

door and left the room.

It was mid-afternoon, so there weren’t many people roaming outside. She headed to the beach

aimlessly; she simply wanted to take a stroll.

After strolling about for a while, she unexpectedly saw somebody familiar. Thus, she hurriedly ran over.

“Hey! You’re here!”

It was the singer who was singing at the bar the other day. That singer was sitting on the reef, holding

his guitar as he tested his vocals.

When he saw Sophia, he smiled too. “Why are you here at this hour? Isn’t it too hot?”

She went over and sat down beside him. “Then, why are you here at this hour?”

Laughing, he replied, “I wanted to listen to the sea. I might get some inspiration from it.”

She couldn’t understand these artistic types. After all, she was a common person who only loved

money. Besides, she only came out at a time like this so that she didn’t need to spend more time with

John.

Hugging her legs, she said, “Well then, go ahead and look for your inspiration. I’ll just sit here without

getting in your way.”

Therefore, the singer smiled and continued strumming on his guitar.

It was mid-afternoon. Despite the sea breeze, it was still rather hot to be sitting there.

Soon, Sophia couldn’t stand the heat anymore. It was making her light-headed. Therefore, she stood

up. “Mr. Artist, I think I need to go. If I sit here any longer, I’m going to get a heatstroke.”
