Sophia stood at the side. “Why did you imbibe during the day?”

Fabian snorted. “What do you know?”
Not in the mood to argue with him, Sophia relented. “Whatever. Just leave since you’re awake. I’ve got
things to do, too.”
Fabian shook his head in an attempt to clear his mind. “I owe you one for this incident today.” Getting to
his feet, he fished out his cell phone and nced at the time. Subsequently, he sighed, his expression
inexplicably tinged with a hint of bitterness though his thoughts remained indiscernible.
When he’d left, Sophia straightened up the living room for a bit before going to her shop. There weren’t
any customers at this time, so Robin was cleaning the ce. She was in high spirits, humming while
she worked, looking extremely cheery. Sophia stood at the door when she arrived, yet Robin didn’t
notice her at all, absently mopping the floor while asionally singing before bursting into giggles
when something urred to her. At this, Sophia timely asked, “What’s the joyous asion that you’re
giggling aloud?”
Her sudden voice startled Robin, and she hastily patted herself on the chest. “When did you reach? I
didn’t hear you.”
Walking over, Sophia went behind the counter. “Well, you were deep in thought, so much so that you
blocked out everything. I’m truly curious. I’ve been standing there for a long while, but you didn’t notice
me at all.” After she’d said this, she asked again, “What were you thinking just now that you were
giggling so sweetly?”
Robin raked a hand through her hair. “Nothing. I’m just feeling rather rxed since there aren’t any
customers now, so I can take things easy.”
Turning, Sophia looked at her, upon which she hurriedly lowered her head and continued mopping the
floor. Sophia narrowed her eyes, her intuition screaming that Robin was lying to her.
Since it was ratherte when she arrived at the shop, it was almost time to get off work just after she’d
busied herself in the shop for a while. Thus, she had Robin leaving first, while she herself stayed for
some time. I don’t even know what I’ve done today, yet the day is over in a fleeting moment.
Flipping the closed sign, she sat by the window and gazed out. The shop in the flooring business right
across was still open, and while sitting there, she then glimpsed the boy showing a customer their
products in the shop. For some inexplicable reason, a hint of envy welled within her. The owner of the
shop was an amicable man, his son guileless and his wife virtuous; their family of three lived
harmoniously.
Sitting cross-legged on the chair, Sophia let out a sigh. How I wish to have such a family as well! s,
I’ve never had one. My birth family was bad, and I’d hoped to have a good family after marriage, but I
was disdained all the more. My life is truly a disaster. She sat there in contemtion, only making her
way home when the sky had grown dark.
The house was dark, but the moment Sophia opened the door and stepped foot into the living room,
she jumped in fright. The lights in the living room weren’t switched on, but it wasn’t pitch-ck, so she
could clearly see someone sitting on the sofa. The light switch was by the door, so she instantly
mmed her hand on the switch.
Then, she stared at the person who was sitting on the sofa with a hand raised to shield his eyes from
the sudden light. All at once, she went ballistic and roared in a near shout, “John Constance, are you
f*cking insane? Why were you sitting in my house in the dark? How did you get in? I’m warning you, I’ll
lodge a police report if you persist in doing this. Do you know that you’re trespassing?”
After a while, John lowered his hand. “Why are you yelling so loudly? I didn’t do anything to you.”
Upon hearing this, Sophia saw red. Her eyes darted around, but she failed to find any weapon. Having
no other choice, she stomped over and grabbed his shoulder, pushing him away. “Get out of my house!
Get out! Don’t stay in my house. I don’t want to see you!”
