So, if he had the chance to do it all over again, they would still get divorced. It was only after the divorce that Sophia had changed and that he had slowly opened up as well, but John had no way of telling anybody about all these feelings.
After a long while, he finally told Logan, “I suppose I wanted to get to know her all over again.”
Logan didn't really hear what he said because he was quite drunk by now. Originally, he had meant to come over and make John drunk so that he could get the man to reveal his innermost thoughts, but who knew that John was so good at drinking?
John watched Logan collapse on the sofa with an indifferent expression. Then, he closed his eyes and continued to call Sophia.
Sophia didn't block his number, so all his calls connected, but no one answered.
After some time, John finally realized what was going on. Sighing, he gave up at last and put the phone back in his pocket. That girl Sophia is really cruel.
When Sophia woke up in the morning, she went to carry out her morning routine before taking a look at her phone. Holy crap! The dozens of missed calls are all from John.
Staring coldly at the phone, Sophia deleted the entire call log. This man is not right in the head, she thought.
She went downstairs and decided that she was too lazy to prepare breakfast, so she went to a café outside instead. As she ate, she took out the phone to have a look.
Oh hey, local gossip! There really is some gossip. The title of the gossip news had John’s name in it. Thus, Sophia quickly clicked into it to check it out.
There was a photo of John at the bar. He was sitting on the lounge sofa with a woman hanging on his arm and leaning on his shoulder. In the photo, John had his head turned toward the woman, appearing to be talking to her. The overall picture didn’t seem romantic, but nobody would believe it if he said that there was nothing going on between them.
Sophia stared at the photo for a moment before reading the content of the news.
This time, the news was not exaggerated but was simply a frank report that someone saw John flirting with a beautiful woman in the bar and looking like he was having a good time. The news also reported that John and the woman left together in the middle of the night. What happened later was left untold and remained open to interpretation by the public. It was an easy guess as to what could happen between a man and a woman in the middle of the night.
After reading the news, Sophia kept her phone and continued eating her meal slowly. Then, she took a cab to the shop. Robin was already there, looking unhappy, so Sophia went in and swept her a glance. “What's wrong? Who offended you so early in the morning?”
Robin pursed her mouth. “Well, I just met someone talking trash. It made me so annoyed.”
She rarely acted like this, so Sophia laughed and said, “Why do you care about what people say? Just let them talk. All we need to do is to live our lives well.”
Robin sighed. “But it’s really annoying.”
When she heard that, Sophia was a little confused. “What did they say about you that made you so angry?”
Robin paused at this. Her eyes darted around furtively before she said, “It's not about me. They were talking about my family, so it was really upsetting.”
Sophia didn't notice Robin's expression at all as she nodded and replied, “Well, I suppose this kind of talk is unavoidable. Just get over it.”
Busy work then filled both of their time for the entire day. When most of the customers had left and they could finally relax, Sophia went to stand by the door and stretched her arms and legs. At this moment, a car drove over slowly, stopping right next to her. Sophia was raising her arms and bending her waist at that moment. When she saw the car, she stopped and turned to look.
The person did not come down from the car but simply rolled down the window nearest to Sophia. Bending forward slightly to look, Sophia realized it was Fabian Blackwell.
She almost couldn’t recognize him. After all, there were so many people that day at the Blackwell Residence. For a brief moment, she could not recall who he was at all.
