Chapter 624


    Robin chuckled before changing the topic. “How are you doing over there? Since you have to do


    everything on your own, does living alone tire you out?”

    After some hesitation, Sophia told Robin that John hade after her. There was a long pause on


    Robin’s end. It wasn’t until Sophia called out to her that she snapped back to reality. However, her


    cheerful tone sounded forced when she replied, “Really? John is such a reliable man to havee


    after you despite the distance. Seeing how nicely he has been treating you, you shouldn’t miss out on a


    great man like him.”


    While knowing that John was being real nice to her, Sophia figured that she shouldn’t forget whatever


    that came before just because of a change in his attitude. Truth be told, she wasn’t an open-minded


    person. She was, in fact, extremely petty, as she would still get riled up whenever she recalled how


    John treated her back then. Licking her lips, Sophia replied, “We’ll see. I don’t feel like focusing on that


    right now.”


    After a few seconds, Robin told her, “Sophia, I will marry him in a heartbeat if I were you. It’s a one-in-


    a-thousandth chance that you’re able to find a rich and handsome man who loves you dearly! If you


    think carefully, John has great assets even whenpared to loads of other people, so don’t get too


    stubborn.”


    Upon hearing what Robin said, Sophia let out a chuckle. “Alright, I get what you mean. I will think about


    it.”


    After hanging up the call, Sophia went on to check her messages. Robin had sent her a photo which


    seemed to be taken without the man noticing her. The man in the photo was checking his phone with


    his head hung low.


    From what Sophia could see, he seemed like a young man who seemed to be pretty good-looking.


    However, he looked quite in, and his good looks didn’t stand out in any particr way.


    While Sophia was staring at the photo intently, John returned, but she didn’t see him at all, as she was


    so focused on looking at the photo. She was contemting on how to respond to Robin, as an


    exaggeratedpliment would sound pretentious, while ack ofpliment would be a little too


    harsh.


    Without warning, John approached her to take a peek at the photo when she was still hesitating on how


    to respond to Robin. He wore a frown while asking, “Who is this guy?”


    Sophia was frightened by his unannounced presence. “Since when did youe in? Why did I not


    hear a sound?”


    Snorting, John replied, “You were so engrossed in it that you didn’t notice I had been standing beside


    you for some time. What’s so attractive about this guy that warrants your undivided attention on him?”


    Sophia tucked her phone away while saying, “He’s nobody important. You wouldn’t know him even if I


    told you.”


    While staring at Sophia, John said, “I will know him if you would just introduce him to me.”


    However, Sophia ignored him. Instead, she went to wash some veggies in preparation for some


    cooking, only to have John walk up to her. “You don’t need to cook. An elderly man dropped by just


    now to invite us for a meal in his house.”


    Sophia was visibly startled. “Which elderly man?”


    John didn’t know who the man actually was as well, so after some thought, he said, “You’ll know who


    he is when hees.”


    Therefore, Sophia turned to go to the yard. Soon enough, somebody came over after a while to invite


    John and her over for a meal. In fact, the meal wasn’t on the old man alone, but the whole vige


    chipped in to prepare them a meal as a token of appreciation for John’s promise to help them pave


    their roads.


    The roads had been a physical hindrance to the vige’s development for generations. If they were


    paved, not only would the kids be able to go to school without a problem, but it would also make it more


    convenient for the adults who wanted to leave the vige to sell their stuff.


    In fact, the only meal that the vigers could afford to serve was some dishes with chicken and stir-fried


    pork, which was iparable to thevish meals that John was used to having. However, John didn’t


    look down on them.


    Instead, he smiled as soon as he saw the meal they served. “Did you raise the chicken and grow the


    veggies yourselves? It’s great that they’re 100 percent natural and pollution-free.”
