Chapter 251


    The moment Sophia pushed the door open, she was taken aback by the sight of John lying on her bed


    in his pajamas. It appeared that he had fallen asleep.


    She stood at the door, gasping and wondering why he was in her bedroom. She shuffled over and


    asked, “John, did you enter the wrong room?”


    His eyes remained closed as if he had not heard a thing. She shook his body, but he suddenly reached


    out and dragged her onto the bed by her arm. Eyes closed, he said in a hoarse voice, “Stop fooling


    around. I’m tired.”


    Shey on top of him, and after some thinking, she moved to the side andy down beside him.


    The curtains were half-opened, and some light spilled into her bedroom. She took a good look at his


    face and agreed that he looked rather tired.


    She slowly crawled out of bed and tiptoed out of the room to head downstairs. Then, she stared out

    from the living room windows, confused by their current situation.


    What did John mean? Were both of them embarking on a cohabitation journey as lovers?


    She initially thought that he disliked her. Is he after my body?


    She drew a sharp breath and felt ufortable at the thought.


    Was it possible for this man to separate his feelings and his lust?


    She spent some time watching tv downstairs but was bored out of her mind, so she took a cab to the


    dessert store, where she saw Robin cleaning the ce. Robin saw hering and quickly invited her


    to take a seat.


    The ce was almost cleaned, and it was empty. Robin told her that the ce never had many


    customers to begin with. With not many options avable on the menu, the store lost most of its


    customers in the past few days.


    Today, Robin had cleaned up with the n of closing doors early. The store had no business anyway,


    and there was no point wasting more time there.


    Sophia took a look around and nodded. “That’s fine. Let’s take a rest for a few days. When everything’s


    done on my side, we will get busy.”


    Robin packed the trash and took a seat, letting out a sigh. “I always feel that I’d be much more relieved


    after this store is closed. It’s too tiring to start a business on my own. I’m different from you. Look, you


    have the support of your husband. Even if you lose money, he could absorb the losses. The same


    cannot be said of me. Since I’m doing this alone, I am very sensitive to profits and losses. That’s why I


    feel tired from the stress every single day.”


    Sophia pursed her lips. It was true that she did not contribute much to running the store because she


    had a financial cushion and therefore was not too stressed.


    Robin leaned back into her seat andmented with envy, “You’re so lucky to have a husband who is


    good-looking and rich. He treats you quite well too. Gosh, you must have carried over your good karma


    from your past life.”


    Sophia smiled faintly. “Probably.”


    Everyone who was in the dark of the situation between her and John felt envious of her. They thought


    that she must have led a happy and carefree life after marrying John. However, they did not understand


    that a marriage could not be sustained purely on wealth.


    Whenever she recalled her marriage with John, she would still feel depressed. Those days were bad


    Since she was free, she spent an entire afternoon in Robin’s tiny store, and the two girls started doing


    research on desserts that they could serve down the road.


    Before this, the store was only run by Robin, and she was short-staffed. Therefore, she could only


    manage to serve simple desserts. With Sophia on board, the two of them could definitelye up with


    a lot of new varieties.


    Sophia was not particrly talented in any field, but she was quite experienced in culinary arts. In the


    past, she had spent years in the kitchen and was familiar with making noodles and other dishes.
