Chapter 622


    Besides, if she agreed with John’s ns to take the vigers with them, she would have a hard time


    parting ways with John. Since the vigers assumed that they were married as they knew nothing of


    their long-standing feud, Sophia understood herself well enough to know that she might continue to


    associate herself with John to some extent in order to cover up the lie.


    ncing at Sophia, John said, “Why don’t you give it some thought? My opinion is that the young men


    wouldn’t be making anything of themselves if they were to spend their whole lives in the vige, so they


    should venture out.”


    It wasn’t until a whileter that Sophia gave her reply. “Let me think about this. But I have to say, they


    might not want to leave. Maybe they like the lifestyle here.”


    John didn’t press on. “Think about it. If you think my suggestion sounds good, you should ask them.”


    Letting out a grunt, Sophia said nothing else. Both of them walked on hand-in-hand, each in their own


    minds, but it was still a sight to behold for the vigers. Coming out to put some trash away, a viger


    made fun of Sophia as soon as he saw her. “Sophia, when are you nning on having a child? You two


    seem to get along well, so it’s about time you get one.”


    Sophia wasn’t sure how to answer that, so John replied tteringly, “We are getting to it. We might have


    one after today.”


    The man eximed, “Yeah, I suppose it’s time. You should give birth to a few more children when


    you’re still young so that you can raise them together. Isn’t that nice?”

    Upon hearing what he said, Sophia’s smile froze on her face. She already felt like a goner despite


    being still in the beginning stages of her pregnancy, so she couldn’t imagine going through the process


    a couple more times. When they arrived at home, John had Sophia get some rest while he started


    cooking.


    Standing by the door of her room, Sophia observed him as he worked clumsily. It would be a lie to say


    that she wasn’t touched at all. In fact, she was shocked that he came all the way to find her. She knew


    full well how remote her vige was, so it must have taken a lot for John to find her on his own.


    The sun was setting when the families began cooking, and Sophia left the house after looking around


    her. All of the houses had their own vegetable garden that they cultivated on their own. She asked


    around for some veggies, and she was given loads of them to be brought home, as the veggies weren’t


    worth much in a vige such as theirs, so nobody would be stingy with their veggies.


    Upon arriving home with the veggies, John took them from her before washing them by the well in the


    yard. At first nce, he sure seemed like he knew what he was doing. Later on, Sophia left for the


    store to buy some rice that was being sold in small amounts. She then had John step aside before she


    began cooking, which she made quick work of while suppressing the nausea triggered by the smoke.


    Coming from behind, John hugged her while saying, “I missed you a lot during your absence.”


    Her movements came to a halt. While she didn’t struggle to break free from his hold, she questioned,


    “Do you miss me because you can’t get me to return to you now, John?”


    Startled, John clicked his tongue in dismay, but he soothed himself before replying in a gentle tone,


    “Must you interpret my care toward you as something despicable, a means to an end? Can’t I be nice


    to you simply because I want to, or simply because I love you and I miss you?”


    Lowering her gaze, Sophia questioned, “Why do you love me now? Throughout our one-year marriage,


    you only ever showed me disdain, so why would you say that love me now that we’re divorced?”


    To be honest, John had no answer to that. In fact, he didn’t think that anybody would have an answer


    when it came to romance. Silently, he held onto her stubbornly. After mulling over the situation, Sophia


    told him, “Alright, it’s time for our meal, so let’s tidy up the table.”


    Meanwhile, John still had a lot of items in the trunk of his car, so he went to fish out some milk and


    canned fruits.
