Chapter 48


    John was clearly taken aback. Staring at Sophia, he didn’t reply immediately.


    On the other hand, Sophia chuckled and said in a low voice, “You won’t touch a woman you have no


    feelings for. Then, when you did it with me before…”


    Wiggling her brows, she smiled.


    He studied her for a bit, thenughed mockingly. Leaning back against his seat, he crossed his legs,


    ankle over knee. “You’re different.”


    “Oh?” Her tone was light. “How am I different?”


    He ced one hand on his thigh; he was tapping his finger subconsciously. “I’ve gotten used to your


    body, so I don’t find it disgusting.”


    In other words, he’s saying it doesn’t matter whether or not he feels anything for me.


    Thus, she chuckled audibly and leaned forward, cing one elbow against the table and propping her


    chin on it. Then, she said with a sly look in her eyes, “Then, what are you going to do in the future? You


    can’t just… continue beingfortable with my body, can you?”


    Some words, when spoken, coupled with an ambiguous tone, really gave off the vibe of a pretentious


    flirt. Even she felt so. Still, it was a nice feeling to have.


    Right now, everything she said and did was something she would never have dared to do previously.


    There were many rules in the Constance Family, especially when it came to her—there were even


    more rules specifically for her.


    Back then, she lived on tiptoes every single day for fear of making a mistake and embarrassing them.


    Now, there was no need for fear anymore—there was nobody who could shackle her down anymore.


    The look in his eyes became colder. “You don’t need to worry about that. There will always be


    somebody else in the future.”


    She stared him in the eyes for a long while before nodding in agreement. “That’s right; you’ll always


    have somebody else.” Mulling over something, she added, “That’s good; that’s good.”


    Just then, the waiter brought their food andid it out on the table, one by one.


    To be honest, Sophia wasn’t hungry nor did she have much of an appetite.


    However, John had added a nutritious soup to their order just now, and he pushed the soup toward her.


    She lowered her gaze. “Thanks.”


    In response, he made a nonmittal grunt. “It’s nothing.”


    Frankly speaking, his attitude toward her right now was way better than how he used to treat her when


    they were still married. Back then, hepletely neglected and ignored her. At least he was more


    courteous now.


    Looking at the man who was sneakily snapping pictures of them, she noticed that the person secretly


    put his phone down while he was eating. Moreover, the camera was pointing directly in their direction.


    Thus, she wasn’t sure whether he was taking pictures, or if he was recording them.


    She pondered it briefly, then scooped up a spoonful of soup. After blowing on it, she fed it to him.


    Caught off guard, he froze for a moment and looked at her.


    Thus, she smiled at him, and her expression was rather mischievous. “People are watching. Drink it.”


    They had never been this intimate before. Putting John aside, even Sophia felt that it was quite


    unnatural.


    After a moment, he lowered his head to look at the spoonful of soup. Then, he drank it. His actions


    gave her a small sense of aplishment.


    Lowering her head, she continued eating. However, she suddenly said, “Honestly, it’s been a long time


    since west sat down and had a meal together, not counting the day we divorced.”


    John said nothing. Before the divorce, he had been extremely busy. With the passing of his grandpa,


    he had been so overwhelmed that he had no time for her. Afterward, when matters involving his


    grandpa were resolved, he became busy with thepany affairs again.


    Therefore, he knew that it had been a long time since he sat down with her for a proper meal. By the


    time everything was resolved and he had enough time to sit down with her, it was to discuss their


    divorce.


    Still, Sophia seemed like she didn’t mind the past anymore. “When I was younger, I used to dream


    about the person I would spend the rest of my life with. At the time, I wanted to marry somebody who


    could always keep mepany and stay with me.


    In the end, I married you. But, you’re not that kind of person…” Taking a sip of the soup, she continued,


    “Afterward, you suggested divorce. Then, I thought… I thought…” She seemed to be thinking about


    something.

    After a moment, her tone became more cheerful as she said, “I thought… springtime is finallying


    for me! Atst, I can live my own life and do what I want to do! I thought to myself: how awesome is


    that?!”


    Then, she giggled to herself.
