Chapter 243
He walked over and stood by Sophia’s side. Both of them were really close, talking about something
else. “If anything happens in the future, make sure you stay away. Seeing you get hurt today actually
made me feel sad.”
Sophia couldn’t really read between the lines, and just took it that Ian was feeling guilty.
She nodded and said, “I know, but actually, I was hiding at the back today.”
When she said that, Logan, who was at the side, shrank his head. God knew that he really didn’t know
Sophia was right behind him back then. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dodged so quickly.
Ian just grunted and looked up at the sky. “Okay, we’re leaving now. You go in first. When you go to
sleep, make sure to lock your door and windows.”
“I know, I know,” Sophia replied.
Ian looked at the expression on Sophia’s face and felt a pang of helplessness. She obviously didn’t get
what he was trying to say.
After exchanging a few more goodnights and goodbyes, Logan took Ian with him and left.
Sophia turned around and went into the living room.
John was not downstairs anymore. And theptop was already switched off. It seems that he has gone
upstairs.
Sophia stood next to the sofa. She took a deep breath, then went over and turned on the television.
She didn’t actually want to watch the television, merely feeling the house was too quiet.
After randomly going through the channels, John came down again.
He didn’t greet Sophia. Instead, he went to the wine cab next to the dining room and took out a
bottle of red wine.
The few bottles of red wine ced on the wine cab were just for show. Sophia knew about it.
But she wasn’t used to drinking red wine, so after giving John a look, she withdrew her gaze.
John went into the kitchen and got two sses, then came over and poured Sophia a ss of wine.
Sophia hurriedly waved her hand. “I’m not drinking that. Red wine really isn’t my taste.”
John smiled and didn’t care about that much. He still poured a ss for Sophia and put it at her side,
then poured himself a ss.
After that, he didn’t go away, sittingfortably next to Sophia, so she nced at him. He was sitting
up straight, his gaze fixed on the television, but she didn’t pay attention to what was ying on the
television.
At his own pace, John slowly finished his ss of wine. Putting down his ss, he raised his hand and
reached over to grab Sophia’s hand. Startled, Sophia turned her head and looked at him.
John just lowered his gaze. He pinched the ring on her finger, twisting it around.
Sophia inexplicably remembered the things that happened in the kitchen before. She didn’t know what
was up with John today. Usually, he was a rtively introverted person. Thus, it waspletely against
the grain for him to act like that when there were outsiders here today.
As her cheeks grew a bit warm, Sophia gave a light cough. “Umm, you only had a ss of wine. Don’t
tell me that you’re already drunk?”
“I didn’t drink much.” John gave a brief smile. “One ss is nothing to me.”
She breathed deeply, but didn’t say anything.

He yed with her fingers for a while, then asked, “Do you like Ian?”
She frowned. “Ian?”
“Forget it.” Then, he said, “Just pretend that I didn’t ask this question.”
His hand moved slowly from her fingers to her wrist, then followed her arm and moved up to her
shoulder.
In the beginning, Sophia was bewildered, for she didn’t know what John was doing. After all, both of
them were clear-headed. Nothing was likely to happen. But slowly, Sophia felt that something wasn’t
right.
Because John started to touch her face, and he was also leaning closer to her.
It wasn’t as if something like this had never happened before, but they usually happened just when
they were about to do the horizontal tango.
