Chapter 546
Zack was also a bit surprised to see Isabelle. “Miss Bailey, did youe over with Mr. Constance?”
Without waiting for Isabelle to speak, John spoke up first. “I couldn’t get a cab and ran into Miss Bailey
by coincidence. So, she gave me a ride.”
Zack nodded. Suddenly, he remembered that Sophia had called him the previous night, saying that
John drank too much, so she asked him to go and take the drunkard away, but he was really tied up
with something, which was why he didn’t go over.
Seeing that John didn’t have a car with him, Zack thought that he had probably stayed overnight at
Sophia’s house. Thus, he nced at John a little slyly.
Furrowing his brows, thetter gave Zack a warning re before walking over to the counter. Sophia
had arranged everything there in an orderly manner, which looked very pleasing to the eye.
Robin looked up at him and asked, “Why didn’t Sophiae here together with you? Didn’t she get
enough rest?”
John nodded. “She should probably be here a littleter in the day. It’s okay. Let Zack help out here
today. If you have anything you need help with, just order him around as you wish.”
Zack bared his teeth. “What an evil capitalist!”
Isabelle stood there for a while, feeling somewhat awkward because nobody seemed to care about her
presence at all. So, when everyone fell silent for a moment, she took the chance to say, “Guys, I have
something to do, so I’ll take my leave first. Please carry on.”
Turning to her, John just said, “Okay.” He escorted her to the door and thanked her.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
Then, Isabelle turned back to stare at John without a word for quite some time. John didn’t ask why
either and simply returned her gaze calmly.
In the end, Isabelleughed out loud. “I just realized that you’re not the same as what the rumors say.”
John raised a brow. “Oh? Really?”
Isabelle nodded. “Aren’t you curious about what people think of you?”
John smiled and replied, “No, I’m not curious. No matter what they think of me, I’m sure it’s definitely
not the real me. So, I’m not very interested.”
Isabelle was startled, but she then remarked with some emotion, “You’re quite the optimist.”
John didn’t respond, so Isabelle waved her hand and said, “Go back inside. I’m leaving now.”
She got into the car and drove off without another nce at him, but she kept the man in the rearview
mirror in her sight the whole time. How could John, a man who saw through everything so well, get
stuck when it came to Sophia?
Logically speaking, those who were optimistic would forge ahead instead of turning back and getting
hung up on a past lover. However, whenever he mentioned Sophia, his eyes were full of gentleness.
Even if others couldn’t tell, Isabelle had noticed it clearly.
When she reached home, everyone was present there. Her grandfather was sitting on the sofa drinking
tea, while his father was sitting next to him and talking about thepany matters.
Isabelle went over and sat on one corner of the sofa.
Her grandfather looked at her andmented, “What’s wrong? You don’t look happy.”
Isabelle sighed. “I’m not happy. My heart is feeling terrible.”
There was nothing that could make her heart feel terrible except for that little issue.
Her grandfather put the teacup down and looked at Isabelle. “What’s going on with John? But there’s
nothing serious happening recently, is there?”
Meanwhile, her father spoke up as well. “You came back sotest night, yet you went out so early
this morning. What happened?”
Isabelle leaned back against the sofa. “Nothing happened. It’s just that John and Sophia have a very
good rtionship, so I’m feeling ufortable.”
When Sophia was mentioned, her father’s expression changed. “It’s not worth it for you to be upset
about that kind of woman.”
Isabelle answered with some anxiety, “John spent the night at her house yesterday. While I don’t want
to be upset, my heart feels very ufortable when I think about it.”
