Chapter 32


    Zack’s gaze remained on the man beside him as he asked, “Um, do you need it right now?”


    Sophiaughed at this. “What’s the use of it if you’re going to give it to me after 72 hours?”


    He pursed his lips before he replied, “Well, um… okay.” His answer seemed to be a little forced. She


    ended the call right after this.


    Zack slowly put his phone down as he said, “Boss, about the pills, I—”


    “Go on and buy it. We can discuss the rest once you’re back.” John had his head buried in piles of


    documents as he sat on the couch by a side. He didn’t sound too troubled by it.


    Zack was surprised to see this as he asked, “Are you really going to let her take the pills, my kind


    boss?”


    John paused for a moment before he lifted his head up and answered, “I have no other option this


    time.” The situation had gotten out of control, just like thest time.


    This time, he felt even a little more dazed and unconscious than thest. However, he wasn’t sure if


    anything might go wrong as they didn’t use any protection thest time either.


    With a long sigh, Zack agreed. “Alright,” he said as he walked toward the door. But his footsteps then


    came to a halt as he asked again, with a soft and inquisitive tone, “Why didn’t you guys try to have kids


    in the past?”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    John seemed a little stunned as he pressed his brows together. He had never thought about this


    question of having children with Sophia. It had never been a part of his n. After a few seconds, he


    ced his documents down and leaned against the couch as he said, “Go get the pills.”


    With that response, Zack knew that he wouldn’t be able to get any more answers. He didn’t attempt


    again, and instead, left the ce immediately.


    Once he left, John stood up and walked over to the window. The night sea breeze was strong, and the


    air tasted a little salty. He took a cigarette out and ran it beneath his nose without lighting it up.


    Children, he thought.


    He never used any protection with Sophia in the past, but they never got pregnant either. She probably


    wanted children; I sometimes saw her secretly calcting the dates.


    She even set an rm in her phone to remind her when it was her ovtion period. He had always felt


    rather annoyed by her meticulous ways of calcting dates, so he often found excuses to spend more


    time at work or fall asleep in the study whenever this happened.


    Sophia never actually told him whether this bothered her. For the longest time, he felt like she was


    merely trying to get a child in order totch on to him. After all, she was miserably poor before she got


    married into the Constance Family—she probably wanted to seize this opportunity to get back up on


    her feet once again.


    Now, she no longer wanted this, probably because the benefits of their divorce was enough to satisfy


    her needs. That was why she no longer insisted on having a child.


    John crumpled the cigarette in his palm and threw it out the window.


    Zack dropped by and knocked on Sophia’s front door before she finished her meal. She still had food in


    her mouth as she opened the door and said, “You’re pretty fast.”


    He stood at the entrance and looked into the room as he asked, “You’re eating?”


    After taking the pills from him, she turned and walked toward the dining table while replying, “I hadn’t


    eaten much, so I felt hungry.” She took the two pills out, each to be consumed at a separate time. She


    had never eaten these pills, so she paid a lot of attention as she read the manual.


    Zack hesitated for a moment before he followed her in and said, “You don’t actually need to eat this. If


    you really get pregnant, then perhaps…”


    She scoffed as she turned around and looked at him, “Perhaps what? Perhaps I’ll get to mess around


    with your boss for a while more? I think I’ve had enough.” She dug a pill out and swallowed it without


    any water. “We’ve gotten a divorce; why is there a need for us to still get tangled up in each other’s


    business?


    If I really couldn’t bear to leave him, I wouldn’t have signed the divorce papers so dly in the first


    ce.” The pill might have caused difort in her throat, so Sophia then hurriedly took her ss up


    to sip on her juice.


    Zack felt oddly uneasy as he watched her acting this way. With a soft sigh, he said, “It might have been


    my fault this time. I shouldn’t have made my own decisions in arranging for the two of you toe


    together.”


    “It’s fine. I don’t think it’s a big deal,” she spoke with augh. Perhaps John might have another woman


    under his nkets tonight if it weren’t for the fact that I’m here.


    With the current mental state that Sophia was in, she didn’t wish for that to happen just yet. However,


    she then thought of something. “If I do get pregnant, the Constance Family probably would want the


    baby, right?”
