Chapter 181


    John recalled when he saw Ian’s face through the lowered car window, and he had to admit that Ian


    was quite handsome, or at least he looked better than his younger half brother who was around his


    age, so it wouldn’t surprise him if Sophia fell for him.


    However, it was almost a given that Sophia would suffer if she were to marry into the Morgan Family,


    as none of the Morgans would be easy to get along with. She might be able to live a more carefree life


    if she would let things slide like how she used to, but neither her nor the Morgans would be able to get


    some peace and quiet if she were to adopt her current feisty attitude.


    He maintained the same position for a few moments before throwing the cigarette away, then turned to


    enter the house. He couldn’t help but try to listen in on what Sophia might be doing when he walked


    past her room while heading toward his.


    Silence hung in the air before he realized he’d chosen a more soundproof material when renovating the


    house, so he wouldn’t be able to hear anything even if Sophia did make some noise in her room.


    He thus waved his hand dismissively before returning to his room. The curtains were drawn as soon as


    he entered before hey down on bed. While he wasn’t tired, he didn’t know what to do, so he allowed


    himself to toss and turn on the bed. The phone he left beside him rang as he did with a call from Zack,


    which he picked up.


    The report Zack gave was about hispany having contacted the hotel in Tri Asel to ess the


    surveince records outside of John’s room that the hotel possessed, as well as their check-in details,


    which would suffice in dealing with the scandal.


    Despite the good news, John didn’t seem happy at all as he gave an almost insipid response. Zack


    went on to ask if he was still feeling unwell, to which he denied. However, he wasn’t actually sure, as


    his heart space was filled with a well of turbulent and inexplicable emotions.


    Zack hummed in response before going on, “The second young master dropped by just now as he


    wanted to hand you some documents, but left upon noticing you weren’t in.”


    By that, he was referring to Dn. John knew Dn’s visit wasn’t anything particrly important, so he


    wasn’t sure why Zack would make mention of it. Time passed as silence ensued, and theck of a


    favorable response from John prompted Zack to go on with much reluctance, “Dn said something


    along the lines of not having seen Sophia around before he left your office. I don’t really know what he


    meant.”


    “Alright, I know what to do, so you can work on your other tasks.” John let slip a sneer as soon as he


    hung up, then flipped himself over to face the door while mumbling to himself, “Sophia, I have most


    certainly underestimated you.”


    The fact that she was able to attract both Ian and Dn was proof that Sophia was a cut above the


    rest. Mrs. Constance only took into consideration her familial background when she determined that


    nobody would want to marry Sophia if Old Mr. Constance hadn’t forced him to. However, Dn chose


    to go after her despite knowing her familial background, so John figured that one shouldn’t be so


    arbitrary in their opinions.

    After lying down for some time, John was feeling a little drowsy, so he closed his eyes as he allowed


    himself to drift into sleep while figuring that the obnoxious thoughts that intruded his mind would fade


    away after he woke up.


    His slumbersted for quite some time, as he woke up to a darkened sky. Upon leaving the room and


    reaching the stairway, he lowered his gaze to see the lights in the kitchen switched on, and noises


    could be hearding from within it, which probably meant that Sophia was cooking.


    As soon as he got down the stairs, he walked over to the sofa, only to see Sophia frying some


    vegetables in the kitchen while wearing an apron, with her hair bunched up, like a proper chef. The


    doorbell rang when he was about to approach her, which startled him as he turned around to check the


    entrance.


    From the window beside him, he could see that someone was standing outside the door, who turned


    out to be his parents, thus quickly opened the door. William wore a look of indifference, while his wife


    was visibly unhappy.
