Most of the tables still had food on them while the occupants chattered away gleefully. Of the guests who attended, most of them had prominent statuses. They were people who liked to expand their social network. It was also easier to strike a business deal when both parties were drinking, so the guests were beginning to engage in conversations that were customary during such occasions.
Sophia disliked such occasions, as she had a feeling that everybody had their own agenda no matter what they said or did, so she agreed to John’s suggestion with a nod. “Let’s go, since I am full anyway.”
With that, John stood to help Sophia up from her seat as the gown she wore was a little too long for ease of movement. After she stood up, John held onto her hand. Sophia was so focused on not stepping on the hem of her gown that she didn’t notice that it was John who helped her up, nor did she realize that John was holding her hand.
It wasn’t until she was a few steps away from the table that she realized that something was off. Thus, she quickly retracted her hand while her eyes widened, all the while wearing a frown on her face. Her expression was sullen as she glanced at John, while her tone was one of seriousness when she issued a warning. “You’d better keep your hands to yourself, John. Don’t you dare pull any tricks on me.”
John’s face betrayed no emotion when he said, “I’m not pulling any tricks. All I did was support you so that you won’t accidentally fall over.”
Meanwhile, Isabelle could see the look on his face from behind. Although his face betrayed no emotion, there was a cheerful glint in his eyes. However, Sophia wasn’t as observant as Isabelle, so she merely shot John a glare before leaving for their next destination.
There was a rather large tea room in the yard, which was unoccupied. There was a waiter stationed there, who led them to their seats as soon as they walked up to him. Then, the waiter inquired about the tea that they would like.
Sophia knew nothing about tea, but she said after some thought, “I would like some rose tea.”
“Same as her,” said Logan.

So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
