There were so many marks on Sophia’s body.
She closed her eyes and said, “Okay, I see. Continue with your work. I’ll see if I can go over this afternoon.”
Robin then hung up the phone.
Sophia held some clothes close to herself to cover her body before going to the bathroom and taking a good look in the mirror. Sure enough, her neck and collarbone were full of love bites.
John is like a dog that likes to chew on things!
Sophia stood in front of the mirror for a long time. After counting the dates, she felt that she should be safe since her menstrual cycles had always been quite regular. She didn't wish to take any contraceptives or morning-after pills because she felt that they would do damage to her body, so she decided that it was a safe period and stopped thinking about it.
After soaking in the bathtub for a while, Sophia dressed herself to go out. When she came downstairs, she found John in the living room. Startled, she thought for a bit and only realized that it was a Saturday. Ever since she opened her own business, she no longer knew the days of the week.
John stood at the entrance of the living room, making a call. From his expression, it looked like it was about some company matters.
Sophia slowly walked down the stairs. To be honest, she didn't know how to face John. Previously, she had always been reserved and distant around the man, but she had been quite enthusiastic last night. This made her a little bit embarrassed.
Hearing the noise, John turned around and saw Sophia. Smiling, he said, “You’re awake.”
Sophia tried her best to make herself appear normal. “Yeah, I’m awake. Have you eaten yet?”
John shook his head. “I was waiting for you to get up. Let’s go out to eat.”
Since she was still feeling rather lethargic, she too didn't feel like cooking. Her body still felt a little weak, so she nodded and said, “I'm ready. Let's go!”
The two of them did not go too far since John did not drive his car over. So, they walked to the restaurant near Sophia’s house. Sophia lazily stretched her body as she walked. As if dissatisfied with her slow speed, John reached out to drag her along. Sophia reluctantly quickened her pace to match his.
Meanwhile, sitting inside another car, Isabelle stared at the scene going on outside. She had been here since last night and was outside Sophia’s house. So, she knew that John never left for the entire night. Early this morning, she came back again and just saw them after waiting for a long time.
John stayed over last night. It was evident what had happened between these two people last night.
Sophia was also wearing the lace dress from before.
Isabelle closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the chair. Actually, she had guessed that this would happen, but for some reason, she had to personally come and take a look. In the end, she was simply setting herself up for disappointment.
Unfortunately, Sophia had no idea that Isabelle was here, or she would have put on a good show.
She and John soon arrived at the restaurant. There, he ordered the food, while she ordered the drinks.
I’m really hungry and thirsty now! she thought.
John stared at Sophia and noticed the marks on her neck. It was a deliberate act when he tormented her like that last night.
With a yawn, Sophia said, “After the meal, I’ll go to the shop. You should leave too.”
John smiled. “Are you sure you can go to the shop looking like this?”
Stunned, Sophia realized that John was staring at her neck, so she hurriedly clutched at it. “You’re the one who did this. How dare you bring it up?”
With a gentle expression, John replied, “So, I suggest that you go home and rest for a while. I’ll go and check out the shop. Zack’s there, so you have nothing to worry about.”
Sophia said coldly, “This kind act of yours is proof of your guilty conscience.”
Laughing, John answered cheerfully, “Yeah, I feel guilty. I was too rough with you last night, so it’s all my fault.”
