Chapter 676


    John didn’t care about it. Thus, he said hi to Lincoln and Robin before going to sit beside the window.


    Sophia showed the clothes she bought for Robin, much to her surprise.


    “I mean, you’re the one who has been handling the whole shop since it started.” She smiled. “So here’s


    a gift to make up for my absence.”


    Robin smiled back. “It’s fine. I used to run a business on my own, but it went bust. It was regrettable.


    Yeah, it’s busy here, but business is fine, so I’m happy about that.”


    Sophia looked at Lincoln. “You have an off day today? Well, we can end the operations early and you


    guys can go on your date. Leave the shop aside for the time being.”


    Robin blushed as she straightened her hair out and nced at John from the corner of her eyes. That


    was when she saw that he was talking with Matilda, and his attention was not on them. Then, she


    licked her lips and said, “Sure. I’ll go around with this guy here.”

    Sophia nodded before telling Robin about hermission raise, for Robin had put a lot of work in the


    business. Being the generous woman Sophia was, this meant Robin might be making more money


    than her every month throughmission. “That’s a lot!” Robin gasped.


    Sophia didn’t mind. “You’ve been working hard. Fair is fair.” Delighted, Robin smiled at Lincoln.


    Since there weren’t many customers at the moment, the group sat around a table. Being the only other


    guy here, John made small talk with Lincoln, asking him about his job and how life was for him; just


    typical interaction.


    Robin pursed her lips, disappointed that Lincoln looked so nervous before John, but she knew that


    even if John were her boyfriend, she couldn’t have kept him for long. If even Isabelle couldn’t win him


    over, there was no hope for Robin.


    Halfway through talking with Sophia, Matilda brought Isabelle up. With a nonchnt expression on her


    face, she said, “Isabelle’s a good girl. The guy that marries her must be very lucky.” Then, she looked


    at Sophia as she continued, “Yes, you’re a good girl too, of course. I admit that.”


    Sophia chuckled. “I know that.”


    John stopped talking to Lincoln and turned to smile at Sophia. “I didn’t realize you’re this confident


    about yourself.” Sophia had never talked this way to Matilda before the divorce, but she changed since


    then.


    Sophia stared at Matilda. “Oh, I just didn’t want to fight. Some people can be really vengeful, you know.


    I’m a generousdy, so I simply let thements slide.”


    Matilda hissed. “Hey, is that meant for me?” She red at Sophia.


    Sophia arched her eyebrows proudly, and her silence was the answer. When Matilda saw her


    response, she red at Sophia, but in the end, she said nothing as she merely pursed her lips


    tightly. This is for the sake of the baby. Calm down, Matilda. You don’t have to fight with a girl.


    Since they went with Robin and Lincoln for lunch, the shop was closed for the time being. At the same


    time, the young man running the floor tile business across the street came out.


    Noticing the shop’s closing for the day and Sophia in the group, the young man went up to Sophia. “Are


    you closing for the day, Sophia? It’s been a while since I saw you.”


    John remembered this guy, for he even came to ask for Sophia’s numberst time.
