Chapter 162


    Upon hearing Sophia’s remark, Isabelle was stunned. At this, Sophia grinned and tapped the back of


    her cell phone case with a finger to remind Isabelle that she was filming her. Isabelle promptly retracted


    her gaze and dipped her head to stare at the document in her hand.


    Being of good breeding, she just felt that her tantly contemptuous expression earlier would ruin her


    image if someone else saw it. Snorting once more, Sophia ced her cell phone down.


    “I’ve got important business here, so stop messing around. If you’re bored, you can go out and stroll


    around, perhaps chat with Zack or something,” John said, his voice mild.


    Leaning back in the chair, Sophia stretched. Then, something urred to her, and she replied, “That’s


    a good idea. I can’t be of any help to you two here, so I’ll just go out and have a look around.” She


    leisurely headed toward the door, murmuring as she walked, “Earlier, I saw that Dn was back, and


    we chatted for a bit.


    He said he’s free in the afternoon, so I’ll just go over and visit with him.” John stilled, yet his gaze never


    left the document in his hand. With her back to them, Sophia smirked and left the office.


    Meanwhile, Dn was in his office. When Sophia went over, she quietly pushed open the door a crack


    and poked her head in without knocking. Dn heard the noise and looked over. Upon seeing him,


    Sophia grinned and asked softly, “Are you busy?”


    Dn merely deliberated for a moment before saying, “No.” Only then did Sophia enter his office, and


    Dn straightened the documents on his desk. “What’s the matter? Is John busy?”


    Sophia murmured an assent. With her hands behind her back, she leisurely sauntered around Dn’s


    office before finally going over to the window and gazing out. “Miss Bailey is here to discuss the


    coboration. It was boring to me, so I came out.” After saying that, she even chortled. “I think your


    ce here is much better here. John’s office is just too boring.”


    Dn cracked up. “It’s boring here, too. All offices are simr.”


    Sophia turned and looked at him. “By the way, I’m opening a dessert shop next month. Come and


    patronize my shop then. It’ll be my treat.”


    Surprise flooded Dn. “You’re opening a shop?”


    Sophia nodded earnestly. “I’m bored. I have limited skills, so I can only open a small shop. There’s


    nothing else I can do.”


    Dn stared at her intently. “I thought you liked to stay home.”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Jaw dropping, Sophia vehemently denied it, eximing, “No, no! I really detest being so idle every day.


    Back when I lived with my grandpa, I was mmed every day.”


    Speaking of this, she continued talking about her life in the past. She didn’t bother hiding anything,


    seemingly not at all embarrassed by her impoverished life back then. Her voice was normal, and she


    even doubled over when speaking of something hrious.


    Dn smiled as well. Everything she was saying was foreign to him. The Constance Family was very


    strict, and they had to learn many things from a young age. In addition to normal sses, there was


    even home tutoring, so their schedules were packed every day with no time for y.


    Walking over, Sophia sat down across from him, cing her arms on his desk before resting her chin


    on them. “Actually, I still miss my life back then. While my days were rather difficult, I was happy every


    day,” shemented.


    Dn gazed at her. Her eyes are quite round, the ck of her pupils profound. When she speaks of


    something happy, the corners of her eyes curve up before the corners of her mouth follow suit, her face


    wreathed in a perpetual smile.


    He then tried recalling the past. While I hadn’t seen her much for any length of time in the past, I


    remember that she always looked forlorn every time I saw her, giving off a depressed feeling. It


    difited me, but now, she’s an entirely different person.


    Sophiaughed heartily. “I’m not fibbing. There are many small animals in the mountains where we


    lived. You can only see these animals at the zoo usually, but over there, it’s amon sight.” Raising


    her head, she scratched her chin. “Ah, I haven’t seen them in a long time. I should really go back for a


    look when I’m free.”


    Dn’s gaze fell on Sophia’s hand. Her hands aren’t smooth and delicate but slightly rough. Despite


    their improved condition in the past year or so, it’s still obvious that these hands are used to hard work.


    Now, they’re bare, with nothing at all adorning them. His brows creased. “Why aren’t you wearing your


    wedding ring?”
