Chapter 942


    Virginia said, “John is a man of few words, so he’d rather keep his problems to himself. But Sophia, I


    can see that he really cares about you. It’s hard for a woman to find a man she loves. Will you give him


    a chance?”


    Sophia wasn’t sure if Virginia was persuading her because thetter had learned that she had no


    intention of remarrying John. However, after hearing what Virginia said, she seemed to recall a vague


    memory and was moved by it.


    After Virginia left, they kept walking around the ce as Sophia said, “It’s lunchtime now. I’ll ask


    whether John ising home to have lunch.”


    Covering her mouth, Matilda chuckled. “Alright. You’ll call him, and I’ll keep walking.” Upon finishing her


    words, she turned to leave.


    After Sophia made the call, John hurriedly picked it up because he was surprised that she was calling


    him.


    Hesitating, Sophia grunted. “Do you think the Civil Affairs Bureau will be open tomorrow?”


    It’s Saturday tomorrow, so the Civil Affairs Bureau will be closed. Startled for a moment, John then


    replied, “The bureau’s employees don’t work on the weekends, so the ce will not be open tomorrow.”


    Sophia nodded. “Alright. Forget it.”


    Coming to his senses, John quickly stopped her from hanging up the call. “Why are you asking about


    the Civil Affairs Bureau? Are you going there tomorrow? The employees there are not going to work


    tomorrow. If you’re free, we can go now.”


    Without uttering a word, Sophia listened to him.


    Seeing as she never replied to him, he rose from his chair and said, “I’m going home now. Get ready


    and wait for me.”


    Hearing this, Sophia burst intoughter. “What’s with the fuss? It’s lunchtime now, so they’re surely


    taking a break.”


    After taking a look at his wristwatch, John replied, “It’s fine. I’ll go home now and have lunch first. When


    the break is over, we’ll go to the bureau. It won’t take too long.”

    Without replying to him, Sophia hung up the call.


    Still holding the phone, John was stupefied for a while and then burst outughing. Oh God, are we


    going to register for marriage? I still can’t believe that she’s changed her mind!


    Rooted to the spot, John didn’t even know what to do next. He only regained his senses when Zack


    came in with a document. Circling around the table, he pped Zack’s shoulder and said, “I’ll leave the


    rest to you now.”


    Before Zack reacted to the situation, John had left the office. Stepping on the gas pedal, he rushed


    back to his house at full speed. A short whileter, he returned to the mansion and parked his car in the


    garage.


    After getting out of the car, John strode toward the main building. When he reached the garden in front


    of the main building, he could see that Sophia and Matilda were watching the television with their legs


    crossed on the couch. Sophia was enjoying the te of fruits that was ced on herp.


    It seems that she hasn’t been traumatized by what happened at the hospital in the morning. After


    staring at her for a while, John started chuckling.


    Before he entered the living room, Sophia shot him an impassive look and quickly shifted her attention


    back to the television.


    Absorbed in the drama, Matilda giggled and pped Sophia’s shoulder. “Don’t you think that guy is


    foolish?”


    Sophia grunted. “Indeed. He was okay initially. How did he be so foolish?”


    Stopping in his tracks, John wasn’t certain whether Sophia was talking about the guy in the drama or


    himself. After waiting for a bit, he said, “It looks like an interesting drama.”
