A prideful man such as John will naturally find it chafing, so he’s probably feeling resentful. Hence, he’ll be a touch reluctant to let me go. For that reason, it’s normal that he’s pestering me now.
Sophia then put down her cell phone and applied some skincare products. When she was just about to lay down to sleep, a phone call came in from John again. After a moment’s contemplation, she answered the call. Before she could say anything, John blurted, “Sorry, wrong number.”
Such a dumb excuse and lousy acting skills had her almost bursting into laughter. Mild exasperation flooded her. “Since it’s a wrong number, I’m hanging up.”
On the other end, John hurriedly interjected, “Wait a moment!”
“What is it?”
John pursed his lips for a long while before asking, “What were you doing just now?”
All at once, Sophia was perplexed as to what he meant. “I was taking a shower. Why?”
Pausing for two seconds, John then answered, “Nothing. I’m hanging up, then.” Thereafter, he hung up on her.
Holding the phone in her hand, Sophia blinked for a long time. What was the meaning of that? And what’s happening here? What was that insensitive John smoking? After a few seconds, she then put down her cell phone, turned off the lights, and lay down. However, she just couldn’t sleep since she’d slept too much during the day. As she turned and tossed, she grew all the more energetic instead.
