Chapter 141


    While eating, John asked Sophia why she suddenly bought those nts. Seemingly a touch surprised


    that he’d voluntarily talk at the dining table, she froze for a moment. After chortling for a while, she


    replied, “It was just a sudden interest. Perhaps it’s because I’m now single, so I hope to have a more


    fulfilling life.”


    John stared at her for some time before nodding. “It’s good that you have such optimistic thinking.”


    He’d rest easier if she had a good life since that was tantamount to having fulfilled his promise to Old


    Mr. Constance.


    John usually didn’t eat much for lunch, but for some reason, his appetite was just astounding today. He


    ate two bowls of rice and even drank a huge bowl of lotus root soup. Sophia, on the other hand, ate


    rtively less since she was no longer hungry after bustling around for such a long time.


    John didn’t merely dust his hands off after eating. When they both had finished eating, he took the


    tableware into the kitchen and ced them into the dishwasher. Although the machine helped, it could


    still be grudgingly considered as him doing the work.


    There were a few pots of flowers in the living room, so Sophia arranged them neatly. Then, she stood


    in the center of the living room and looked around, seemingly very much satisfied with the current


    décor.


    Likewise, John nced around as well. This ce is entirely different now. He inhaled deeply. “I’m


    going back to the office. If there’s anything…” He paused for a moment before continuing, “… give


    Zack a call.”


    Sophia murmured an acquiescence. “Alright, got it.”


    In the afternoon, Sophia didn’t remain idle but went over to that dessert shop, mainly to look at the


    layout of the shop and contemte how to renovate it in the future to make it look better. The proprietor


    was ady named Robin Jaeger, and she was ecstatic to see Sophia, telling her all about the shops


    nearby that were doing well as though she’d found a way out. Sophia stayed in the dessert shop for the


    entire afternoon, only hailing a taxi home when she saw that it was ratherte.

    She’d already signed up for the first course at the driving school. It was fortunate that she had an


    acquaintance there, for everything was done without her having to worry about anything. When she


    arrived home, she took a look at the contents of the first course, but after so many years since she’d


    last studied, drowsiness gued her as she nced through the subject matter. Forcing herself to pay


    attention, she then did a rough read-through. When she next nced at the time, she went downstairs


    to cook.


    She liked Oriental food with rice and dishes, having never grown ustomed to eating steak, sd,


    and the like. Putting on an apron, she hummed and got busy in the kitchen.


    When John came back, Sophia was just about to te the dish. She stood in the kitchen with a te in


    her hand, scooping the food into the te little by little, her movements leisurely and unhurried. John


    stood at the entrance and stared.


    In the past, this was never the Sophia I saw every time I came home. Perhaps she was truly unhappy


    back then. While she’d tried her best to conceal that fact, John could still read it from her expression.


    She used to look sullen every day, making me feel very much disturbed. He waited until she was done


    ting the dish before walking over. “Go and wash your hands. I’ll take the dishes out.”


    Sophia startled. “When did youe back? Why didn’t I hear anything?”


    “I just came back,” John murmured.


    Staring at his back, Sophia blurted after a moment’s deliberation, “I heard that the Constance Family is


    going to coborate with Bailey Corporation?”


    I don’t even need to guess to know that it was Zack who told her. John recalled the two questions Zack


    asked him today. With his back to Sophia, he sighed. “Yeah, that’s the n.” Sophia arched an


    eyebrow. However, she didn’t make any sarcastic remarks, merely sniggering softly.


    During dinner, John didn’t speak again, much less Sophia. Sophia’s cell phone that was beside her


    vibrated with a buzz, signaling a message, and she replied asionally with a faint smile ying on


    her lips. John looked up at her before ncing at her cell phone, only to vaguely glimpse a chat


    window without a clear view of the specific conversation. After taking another look, he then retracted


    his gaze.


    At this exact moment, his cell phone vibrated as well. Fishing it out, he saw that it was a message from


    Isabelle. Actually, he could guess what it was about without seeing the contents. Isabelle must be


    aware that Elder Mr. Bailey came over today. Sure enough, when he opened the message, Isabelle


    spoke of the two families’ coboration. After taking a look, he then replied, ‘I saw them today.’


    A reply from Isabelle came at once. ‘I hope you won’t feel awkward because of me.’
