Chapter 53


    Upon hearing Zacks’ words, Sophiaughed out loud. “When ites to stuff like this, it’s not


    something you can control, nor is it something that will go the way you want it to. Therefore, your efforts


    are all in vain. So, I suggest you stop it.”


    Zack smacked his lips. “Are you saying I’m annoying?”


    It’s not annoying per se. Still, it’s ufortable when there’s always somebody trying to stick their


    nose into my business.


    Thus, she waved her hand. “Nope. Let me tell you this; the more you try to push us together, the more


    likely your ns will backfire on you.”


    In the first ce, John doesn’t like me. So, if Zack keeps trying to put in a good word for me, it might


    just end up working by way of reverse psychology, and John will hate me even more.


    Still, Zack didn’t quite understand that logic. However, when he saw Sophia speaking so


    knowledgeably about it, he couldn’t refute her words.


    On the other side, John had finished swimming severalps around the swimming pool. Just as he was


    about to climb out of the pool, a youngdy approached him. Moreover, the swimsuit she wore was


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    even more revealing than the one Sophia had on. She walked over and sat by the edge of the pool,


    dipping her legs into the water and paddling her legs back and forth. Thus, the ripples and sshes


    caused by her kicks traveled over to John.


    Then, John looked at her expressionlessly.


    On the other hand, the youngdy smiled. Tilting her head to the side, she asked, “Are you here


    alone?”


    The youngdy was dry, and her face was fully made up. A single nce was enough to tell that she


    wasn’t here to swim.


    Hence, he said nothing. Instead, he put some strength into his arms and climbed out of the water.


    Seeing that, the youngdy followed after him.


    As he was shaking the water off him, the youngdy said in a soft and gentle voice, right next to him,


    “Why have I never seen you around here before?”


    Although his actions continued, he turned his head to look at her.


    The youngdy had a slender jaw,rge eyes, and a nice figure. Moreover, she was rather petite—she


    looked like she was shorter than Sophia.


    All of a sudden, he asked expressionlessly, “Do I look like I came alone?”


    The youngdy was taken aback; she didn’t seem to understand what he meant.


    Then, he added, “Did you not see the ring on my finger?”


    At that moment, the youngdy lowered her gaze and looked toward his hands. Sure enough, he was


    wearing a wedding ring on his finger,


    Thus, she blushed, opening and closing her mouth but no words came out.


    John sneered, then he turned around and headed toward Sophia. Despite being divorced, he had


    never taken off his wedding ring. It wasn’t as if he deliberately left it on either. It was more like he had


    forgotten about it. Or, perhaps he was just used to it. Rather, it could also be that the thought of taking


    off his wedding ring before his divorce was announced to the public had never entered his mind.


    Naturally, Sophia saw the entire spectacle going on around John. Ever since the youngdy


    approached him and sat down by the edge of the pool, she began to take notice.


    She smiled and looked at him with a teasing expression.


    The drink John ordered previously had been served. When he walked over, Zack hurriedly gave up his


    seat. Thus, John sat down and downed the juice in one gulp.


    Chuckling, Sophia said, “That youngdy’s expression changed rather drastically.”


    John lifted his gaze and nced at Sophia without saying anything.


    On the other hand, Zack was ring at Sophia from the side, indicating to her that the subject was


    taboo.


    Still, Sophia wasn’t the type to be obedient. The only reason she held back and endured everything


    during her time with the Constance Family was that she was afraid of causing trouble for John.


    However, she didn’t care anymore. Thus, she continued, “She was such a pretty youngdy too.


    Seriously; how could you be so cruel to her?”


    Zack hissed, “What are you saying? Boss is a man of principles! He’s not somebody that anybody can


    just approach without reason!”


    She frowned and made a nonmittal sound in response. Then, she smiled and shook her head.


    “Forget it; pretend I didn’t say anything.”


    To be honest, Sophia wanted to ask, Did he never allow other women to approach him while he was


    entertaining clients in the past?


    In the past, John constantly had to entertain many clients. When men get together to socialize, it was


    the norm to take part in some form of sexual entertainment. Besides, getting youngdies to


    apany them while they were drinking was no big deal anyway.


    I don’t believe John rejected all those women flocking to his side. That is simply impossible. Still… it


    would have been fine to ask if it were back then. But now… I think I’ve lost the right to ask.
