Chapter 788
After brief contemtion, John took his phone over and looked at it. It was apparent in the call log that
Isabelle had just called, and the callsted less than a minute. Sophia had probably picked it up.
Setting the phone to silent mode and putting it back on the bedside table, Johny down and hugged
Sophia from behind. Sophia was clearly jolted awake from her sleep, hence, she huffed drowsily and
reproached, “So annoying.”
John went along with what she said. “It’s so annoying that she called in the middle of the night without
any discretion.”
Sophia couldn’t help chuckling. “You’re more annoying for flirting around.”
Kissing the back of her head, he whispered, “No, I didn’t flirt around. I just want to flirt with you. I don’t
have the energy to bother about others.”
Sophia couldn’t be bothered to debate with him. Shifting slightly, she found afortable position and
fell asleep. She slept so soundly that she didn’t even know when John left in the morning.
When Sophia woke up, she felt very lethargic. She tossed and turned in bed but didn’t feel like getting
up. Afterzing around for a while, the door opened, and Matilda sneaked in. She was still in her
pajamas. When Sophia nced at her ex-mother-inw, she was somewhat surprised. “Didn’t you
sleep well? Your dark circles are so bad.”
Matilda pursed her lips. “No, I didn’t sleep well. There’s something that I would like you to help me
analyze. I couldn’t understand it after pondering about it for the entire night.”
Before she could tell Sophia what it was, thetterughed. “What’s wrong? What did your ex-husband
do to make you so anxious?”
John had a meeting in the morning. Upon walking out of the conference room, he saw Dn’s office
door open when he was heading toward his own office. But it wasn’t Dn who came out; instead, it
was Isabelle.
As expected, Isabelle was now handing over all coboration matters to Dn, so it was normal for her
toe out of his office. Upon noticing John, Isabelle seemed stunned. She then spoke first, “Hey,
John.”
John nodded, then looked at Dn, who hade out as well. “I have a document to give you. Uncle
Owen wanted to give it to you, but you weren’t here, so he left it with me.”
Dn agreed, then looked at Isabelle. “Miss Bailey, this way, please.” He was facing the direction of the
elevator, which naturally meant he was sending Isabelle off.
Hesitating, Isabelle then turned to face Dn. “Young Master Dn, you don’t have to send me off. I’ll
go and say hello to Mr. Constance first.”
John had turned to push open the door of his office. He should have heard Isabelle’s words, but he
didn’t react at all.
On the other hand, Dn smiled. “All right. As you wish, Miss Bailey.”
Isabelle nodded and walked toward John’s office.
John was already sitting behind his desk. He nced at Isabelle and asked, “Is something the matter,
Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Miss Bailey?”
Pretending to be calm, Isabelle came over to pull out the chair and sat down. “I called Madam
Flintstone before. There must be a misunderstanding about the previous incident at the hospital. I was
thinking that maybe we could have a meal togetherter. No matter how our opinions differ, consider it
as an apology from me. I was indeed too impulsive back then.”
John slowly raised his head to look at Isabelle evenly without giving away what he thought. Then he
said, “No need.”
Taking a deep breath, Isabelle said, “John, are you never going to forgive me? Yes, I did push Sophia a
little at the time, and I was wrong for doing that. So, I apologize for that. But if you’re saying that I
deliberately tried to harm her, I’m not going to admit to that because I really didn’t have such
intentions.”
John didn’t want to talk about this matter. In any case, her exnation didn’t amount to much. “We’ll
talk about this some other time. I’m a little busy right now.” These words were obviously meant to drive
her away.
Isabelle naturally understood what he meant. She stared at him, and although her expression was still
<pposed, frustration violently coursed through her veins.
