Chapter 491
Old Mrs. Constance sighed as she closed her eyes to pick a tarot card. Soon, the High Priest held that
card in his hand, turning around before he sat in a wooden chair.
Meanwhile, Sophia shifted her eyes elsewhere, realizing the chamber’s door to be made of bamboo
with a vintage appearance. She then secretly walked out of the chamber and stood at the entrance
while gazing at the quiet backyard with barely any visitors.
Sophia continued to wait a little longer, but when she noticed nothing new in the chamber, she decided
to head down the brick path until she reached a corner where she saw a main hall on the left. Then,
she saw a few priests talking to a pious follower who appeared to react solemnly and courteously.
Observing their interaction, Sophia stood in ce for a few seconds until the follower turned around.
Nheless, she didn’t move but instead stared at thetter, who turned out to be John. After that, the
man slowly walked down the stairs at the main hall entrance toward Sophia. “Is my grandma still in
there?”
Sophia responded with an affirmative hum and replied, “She is in there, asking the High Priest about
your marriage life in the future.” Judging from his casual appearance, I doubt he didn’te here
directly from his office. Not long after that, Sophia added, “Old Mrs. Constance said you couldn’te
because you were busy, but it looks like you’re not as busy as she said.”
John smiled and said, “I managed to find time ande here.” Considering the circumstance that she
was in, she restrained herself from losing her temper even though she knew Old Mrs. Constance had
an ulterior motive in taking her here. Soon, she heard the choir once more. Feeling calmer, she felt as if
she could think and analyze more rationally.
Upon scanning his surroundings, John said, “I bet you haven’t been here before. Perhaps I could show
you around.”
Sophia replied positively and walked beside John along the brick path as she suddenly said, “I’m going
to start a business soon, so I’ll be busy. By then, I won’t be able to be of help.” While Sophia wasn’t
sure whether John understood what she meant, the man only responded with an affirmative hum.
Sophia said, “I’m actually pretty curious about what Old Mrs. Constance finds out from the High Priest.”
John then turned his attention to Sophia. “You sure you don’t have anything you want to ask the High
Priest?”
Sophia shook her head. “Nah! I’m good, and I’m happy about my current life.” Upon a brief
contemtion, she added, “Furthermore, Ian is also doing pretty good right now, so I guess I’m better
off without marriage at the moment.” After hearing that, John squinted and responded with an
affirmative hum.
Sophia let out a sigh and said, “I’m content with my current life, and it’s only now that I realize how
miserable my life used to be.”
John stared at Sophia and said, “I guess I must have let you down back then.”
“d you know that. Fortunately, I won’t have to bear with that disappointment anymore,” Sophia

answered with a sarcastic smile.
Upon hearing that, John only pursed his lips in silence. As both of them made their way from the
backyard to the main hall, Sophia refused to go there due to the crowd. Therefore, they only stood in
the corridor while staring at the crowded main hall.
Sophia then beat him to it and asked, “Did you change my bedsheet that day when you took me
home?”
John blurted out, “You threw up that day.”
Well, I think he isn’t lying because I really did puke that day. Soon, Sophia nodded in response. “In that
case, I didn’t do anything inappropriate, did I?”
How do you define ‘inappropriate’? John reckoned the matter that happened the other night was
nothing out of the ordinary. After all, there was nothing strange that had happened between them, so
he only responded with a brief reply. “No.”
John’s reply eased Sophia’s mind, finally putting an end to their conversation.
