Chapter 392


    John didn’t have a good temper, but he used to keep it in check. At most, he was just unfriendly, but


    now he would hurl things around. Whenever Zack went to John’s office now, he would be greeted with


    documents sprawled on the ground, while John would be smoking beside the window, obviously


    frustrated. He was vastly different from how he was before.


    Sophia frowned. “Why are you telling me that? I don’t think I have anything to do with that.”


    Zack chuckled. “If you say so. He did this to himself, really. You’re doing good ignoring him.”


    Refusing to talk about this, Sophia shifted the topic, saying, “I went to the shop, and the renovations


    are almost done.”


    Zack grunted. “Yeah. It’ll probably be done in two days. They’ll brush up on the details, and you’ll have


    to let the ce air out for a few days. They used recyble materials, but it’s still harmful.”


    Sophia nodded. “Understood. Tell me when the renovation is done, then I’ll make the payment.”


    “Your ex-husband has paid for it, so it’s fine,” Zack quickly replied.


    Sophia clicked her tongue. Of all the things that could happen. Even so, she said, “Just tell me the cost


    and I’ll pay John back. I don’t need him to do this, so just let me pay.”


    After a pause, Zack said, “I’ll ask him after everything’s done. If you still want to pay him, that’s your


    choice. Let’s see what he says.”


    Sophia grunted, and after a while of small talk, she ended the call. Feeling bored, she went to read the


    news online. As expected, the news about the Constances had less coverage now that they chose to


    ignore it. Comments were stilling in, but at a smaller magnitude now.


    John and Isabelle were handling their ownpanies, so all the news outlets could capture was how


    they were working. With nothing to go on, the media could only conclude that they weren’t affected by


    public opinion. Now everyone would think that the earlier reports were just spections. At this, Sophia


    smiled and put her phone down. It’s going to blow over soon, and I can get on with my life.


    On the other hand, John went home after work, while William got back sooner than he did. When John


    looked around to see if his mother was here, Belinda said, “Stop looking around. She didn’te.”


    John looked at William, but before he could say anything, William said, “Your mother’s staying with her


    family. We’ve decided to go through the paperwork next Monday, but we’ll keep it a secret until the time


    is ripe.”


    John pursed his lips, not replying. William didn’t look too happy, obviously upset that he had to get a


    divorce at this age.


    At the side, Belinda sighed. “Don’t think too much about it,” she told William. “If Matilda can change,


    you guys can get back together, but if she can’t, then no harm in getting a divorce.”


    John waited for a while before going to the dining room. He had noments about his parents’


    divorce. They were already adults, so he expected them to know what they were doing. Plus, they had


    more experience than he did, so there was no need for his opinion orment here.


    William followed John into the dining room a whileter, but he had no appetite. After looking at the

    food served on the table, he turned around and went out. “I won’t be eating today.”
