Chapter 479


    The gist of Isabelle’s text was that she felt awkward and embarrassed by Matilda’s n, which she was


    totally unaware of. So, she was apologizing to John for troubling him.


    She had bombarded him with a slew of texts, from which he could tell that she was feeling anxious.


    Even after staring at the texts for an extended time, he did not reply in the end. Instead, he turned off


    his phone and the bedsidemp.


    On the other side, Isabelle clutched her phone and waited for some time, but she did not receive any


    reply from John. This must have meant that he would not reply to her. She wondered if it was because


    he didn’t read her texts at all, or if he had purposely ignored her after reading the texts.


    Feeling antsy, she held her phone and paced around her room a few times. Just now, Matilda called


    and said that she had reprimanded John for his attitude. Matilda exined that John left because he


    was worried of being seen dining with other women, which might cause some gossip.


    It was a usible exnation. Lately, John and Isabelle were captured on camera by nosy people a


    few times. Thankfully, they were captured when they were at work, so they had assistants around.


    When the photos spreaded online, the media reported that the two of them were business partners, so


    there wasn’t any nasty gossip. With that, previous rumors about John and Isabelle were dispelled and


    spections on their rtionship were slowly clearing up.


    Right now, if someone were to discover any slightly suspicious ‘private dates’, it would negatively affect


    both John and Isabelle. Anyway, Isabelle couldn’t keep a distance from John forever for fear of creating


    any scandal; she no longer had the patience to keep waiting.

    When she was in a few business talks with John before this, she noticed that John had taken out his


    phone and clicked into Facebook. She could clearly see Sophia’s selfie on his screen.


    It was obvious that John still missed Sophia. Isabelle thought that if she remained passive, she might


    end up losing him like before.


    She could only tolerate losing him for once, for she had no desire, nor the mental fortitude, to go


    through the same ordeal twice.


    In the span of John and Sophia’s one-year marriage, Isabelle’s daily life was hellish. Now, she finally


    waited until the day of their divorce, an opportunity that she would not pass on anymore.


    After some rumination, she made a call to Matilda, and thetter instantly picked up. “Belle!”


    Isabelle let out a sigh. “Mrs. Constance, I have something to discuss with you.” Of course, Matilda


    agreed to it and was very receptive to Isabelle’s ideas.


    Meanwhile, John was in the dark about the n between Matilda and Isabelle. The next morning at


    breakfast, he heard Old Mrs. Constance bringing up the topic of the monastery visit, to which he


    suggested once more, “I’m serious. You should try inviting Sophia to go with you. Let’s see if she’d say


    yes. Just try. What if she agrees to it?”


    The olddy chuckled. “Alright, I’ll ask her. Even if she says no, I will pester her until she agrees.”


    Upon hearing that, John smiled. “I didn’t mean anything. I was just suggesting that you invite her.”


    After the two had breakfast together, John went to work and Old Mrs. Constance immediately made a


    call to Sophia.


    Sophia went to the store early in the morning and was busy with work. When she received the call, she


    felt a little reluctant to pick up.


    Whenever Old Mrs. Constance called her, Sophia would feel restless and anxious. After all, Old Mrs.


    Constance was John’s grandmother. Sophia felt that if she got in touch with the olddy, she would end


    up meeting John sooner orter.


    Well, even if she didn’t get in touch with Old Mrs. Constance, she would still run into John somehow,


    but the feeling was different.


    Sophia stared at the phone for a long time before picking up the call reluctantly. “Madam.”


    Old Mrs. Constance sighed wistfully. “I prefer to be called ‘Grandma’.”


    Sophia did not know what to reply to that. Sensing the silence, Old Mrs. Constance directly told her, “I


    want to pray at the monastery. I really hope that you’lle with me.”
