Chapter 290


    She thought that the man would only return after fooling around again.


    Stretching her limbs, Sophia walked out from the study room.


    However, instead of returning to her room, she went downstairs to grab a bottle of water from the


    fridge.


    Young Master Owen’s birthday wasing soon and the tea set was still ced in the living room.


    It would be a hassle to move all of them to the Constance Residenceter on.


    Sophia loitered downstairs for a moment before heading upstairs again.


    While she was walking in the corridor, she stared at John’s room. However, the door was shut and she


    couldn’t see anything.


    Sophia harrumphed before turning around and entered her room.


    For some reason beyond Sophia’s understanding, the two of them had somewhat started a cold war.


    To be honest, John didn’t really understand it as well.


    However, he just didn’t feel good. He felt something was amiss no matter what he did.


    Young Master Owen’s birthday fell on a weekend. John got up early on the day as he wanted to get


    back to the Constance Residence earlier.


    It was a surprise for him to see Sophia cooking when he came downstairs.


    Staring from the staircase, he started frowning.


    The irritation within him suddenly red up without any forewarning.


    The thought of him having to act as a loving couple with Sophia in front of everyone today made his


    head ache.


    John went down and sat next to the couch. “Let’s go back to the Constance Residence earlier and eat


    there.”


    Turning around to give John a look, Sophia said, “You should head there first. I’ll only go during the


    afternoon.”


    Since the people there didn’t really wee her, it would be boring if she had gone earlier to spend the


    rest of her day there.


    John stared at Sophia for a few seconds before he answered monotonously, “Whatever.”


    Then, he turned around and left.


    Without being bothered by John’s attitude, Sophia continued preparing her breakfast. After that, she


    hummed as she took her meal to the dining room and started eating.


    Sophia ced her phone on the table while she scrolled through the tabloid. There wasn’t anything


    interesting.


    Then, she went to look at the finance segment. Yep. It was definitely more interesting here.


    Thetest news reported that after the coboration between the Bailey Family and the Constance


    Family, they tried to get into touch with the Third Young Lady Jefferson. It seemed that they wanted to


    work together with the Jefferson Family as well.


    How interesting. Sophia had previously mentioned that the Bailey Family wouldn’t get into contact with


    the Jefferson Family for no reason.


    There must be a purpose behind their action.


    The Bailey Family was trying to set up an image for Isabelle.


    After Isabelle got into thepany, the Bailey Family had been doing their best to remove any


    obstacles on her way to sess.


    Old Mr. Bailey must have wanted to pave the way for Isabelle.


    It must have been nice to have a nice father.


    Sophia pouted. While others had nice fathers, her father could hardly give her any help she needed.


    Reading through the article again, Sophia noticed that the article only stated the Bailey Family’s


    interest to coborate without mentioning the Jefferson Family’s reaction.


    To be honest, Sophia was just an onlooker in the coboration between the Bailey Family and the


    Jefferson Family.


    Since the two families were powerful, there was nothing that she could really do even if she wasn’t


    happy with it.


    As she finished reading the article, she finished up her meal as well.


    She then cleaned up her tes and cutleries before heading upstairs to change and do her makeup.


    Since Aiden was on leave today, Sophia wanted to go to the shop at noon to look around and would


    probably overlook the shop’s renovation.


    Although she trusted Aiden’s ability, she still felt bad if she didn’t show up.


    Right when Sophia settled everything and went downstairs, two people came over and knocked on the


    front door.


    Both of them mentioned that John had instructed them toe over to send Young Master Owen’s gift


    over.


    Well, Sophia obviously couldn’t move something so huge on her own anyway.


    Since this was a tea set, she instructed those two to be careful and try to avoid shing into anything.

    The moment they saw its packaging, they knew that this gift was expensive and delicate, so they were


    particrly careful when handling it.


    After Sophia waited for them to leave with the gift, she took a cab to the shop.
