Chapter 640
Shaking her head, Robin said, “He didn’t hurt me! In fact, nobody did! Even if I was hurt, it was
because I forced myself into a corner by overthinking.” Robin was smiling after having said that.
“Alright, let’s switch the topic. What do you think about the man just now?”
Sophia only saw the man for such a short time, so she couldn’t possibly know anything about him.
Therefore, she could only nod while replying to Robin, “He seems fine at first nce, but your
impression of him might change after you spend more time with him.”
Heaving a sigh, Robin said, “We’ll start slow, then. I really wish that I can have someone by my side, so
I sure envy you.”

Sophia was left feeling a little defeated while leaning over on the countertop. “Don’t you ever feel
envious of me, as I have enough on my te as it is, and it’s giving me a headache.” Upon saying that,
Sophia recalled something else. “You sent me a messagest time telling me that John’s mom came
looking for me. Do you know what she is up to?”
Shaking her head, Robin replied, “I don’t know, as she didn’t explicitly state her purpose. However, she
was wearing a morose expression when she came, which seemed to me a little frightening. She asked
where you went, but I told her I don’t know.”
Robin’s reply left Sophia feeling confused as to what Matilda was trying to do. She couldn’t possibly
miss being scolded by me after not having seen me for a few days, could she?
That afternoon, Sophia stayed in the shop. As she didn’t have much to eat during lunch, she had some
snacks during the afternoon. When there were no customers, Robin would sit down on a chair with her
face cupped in her hands while recounting the man’s habits. Judging from what she said, the man had
been dropping by whenever he could to spend time with Robin.
Sophia listened on with a smile while observing Robin fawn over the man like a schoolgirl in love.
Although she insisted she was seeing him out of fear of loneliness, the inconceble smile on her face
said otherwise. After all, it was easy for a woman like her to step into a rtionship.
As long as someone was willing to treat her nicely as well as make her happy, she would easily fall for
him head-over-heels. In fact, Sophia was a little envious of Robin. She wondered if things would be
different if John and her had spent time knowing each other before their marriage.
Sophia stayed until evening, while Matilda dropped by before it was time to get off work. As soon as
she saw Sophia from the window, Matilda seemed to realize something. Seeing that both John and
Sophia returned on the same day, she figured that both of them must’ve left for somewhere together.
Meanwhile, Sophia arched a brow uponying eyes on Matilda. It wasn’t long before Matilda entered
the shop to sit down before Sophia. “You left for somewhere with John, didn’t you?”
Sophia took a sip out of her milk. “Nope.”
“No?” Matilda didn’t seem to believe her. “Both of you left and returned at the same time, so how could
that not be the case?”
With slight dismay, Sophia replied, “We didn’t leave together, as John was the one who came after me.
I left first, while he came after meter on. I can do nothing about what he makes of his own life, so
don’t you dare use me of seducing him.”
After staring at Sophia for some time, Matilda questioned, “Why are you not serving me any drinks
even though I have been sitting here for a while? Is this how you treat your customers?”
What she said startled both Sophia and Robin. They wore a simr look of confusion as neither knew
what Matilda was up to. Meanwhile, thetter was waiting stubbornly with her arms crossed. With a
nce, Sophia signaled for Robin to make Matilda a cup of coffee. It wasn’t until then that Matilda
asked, “Where have you been?”
After mulling over her situation, Sophia told her the truth. “I went back to my hometown to pay my
grandfather my respects.”
