Chapter 476
That had to be the intended result of Matilda’s decision, which prompted John to think of Sophia.
When they went through the divorce, she epted everything he gave her without objection. She didn’t
read the papers before signing them without hesitation. Judging from her actions, she must have
wanted nothing to do with him anymore; she had let go of the failed marriage. However, it was John
who felt that he could not let go after the divorce.
He drove to the Italian restaurant, parked his car and walked into the ce. Since Matilda had booked
a room for them, he managed to find it based on the room number. The moment he pushed the door
open, however, he was greeted by Isabelle instead of Matilda. Just like John, Isabelle showed an
astonished expression. “John?”
He stood at the door. “Are you alone?”
Isabelle blinked innocently. “Yeah. Mrs. Constance invited me to dinner and asked me to wait here.”
She stared right at him. “Did you arrive with her?”
The table in front of Isabelle was now upied with drinks, a sign that she had been waiting for some
time. John remained standing at the door, choosing not to enter. “I’m sorry. My mom must have
confused the ns.”
At that moment, a waiter entered with a tray of food. “Sir, these are the dishes you ordered.”
Left with no choice, John could only stand aside to let the waiter pass through. Isabelle looked even
more puzzled. “What is it? Did she ask you to attend because she couldn’t make it?”

Ignoring her, he took out his phone and called his mother, but he then realized that her phone was
turned off. He smirked and immediately knew what was going on.
Isabelle stood up and muttered helplessly, “What is it? What happened?”
John sighed. “Nothing serious. My mom messed up her ns. Anyway, I’m buying this meal. You can
enjoy the food. I’ll leave now.”
“Hey, hey!” Isabelle called out to John, who was leaving. “Is Mrs. Constance really noting?”
John replied, “Yeah. Something came up on her end, so she can’t make it here.”
Isabelle looked conflicted. “Mrs. Constance booked the room and even ordered the food. When I first
arrived, the waiter told me that they received orders for a lot of food. I c-can’t finish that alone anyway.
John, if you haven’t had d-dinner, why not…”
She stammered in difficulty, appearing to feel conflicted at her own suggestion. After taking a nce at
her, John replied, “It’s okay if you can’t finish everything. I don’t like Italian food anyway.”
Then, he nodded at her as a final greeting and turned around to leave. After a while, Isabelle slowly
slumped into her seat with a defeated look.
John left the restaurant and drove to the Constance Residence. Old Mrs. Constance was having her
dinner and was surprised to see him home. “Didn’t you say that you would be having dinner
somewhere else today?”
He washed his hands and entered the dining hall. “There were somest minute changes.”
Recently, the kitchen of Constance Residence had been serving mainly local cuisine for dinner, which
suited his palette.
Old Mrs. Constance wanted to visit the monastery for prayers a few dayster and she asked him if he
wanted to join. Immediately, he suggested, “I won’t go. Why don’t you ask Sophia to go with you?”
The olddy was stunned. Her expression changed and her tone sounded mocking as she said,
“Sophia? I guess that’s impossible. Now that the two of you are not legally rted in any way, she will
not entertain me. Last time, she visited for the sake of the ckwells, but you came home in the
middle, which totally spoiled her mood.”
The mention of that incident made John smile. He stared at his grandma. “You were the one who
purposely hid my documents, weren’t you?”
Old Mrs. Constance pouted. “You’re really slow when ites to rtionships. You’re such a brilliant
businessman, but why are you so clueless in romance?”
John grunted to indicate his agreement with Old Mrs. Constance. “I guess all my talents are used in my
business.”
