When William spoke to John a moment ago, he seemed to be sending him a warning with his expression. John quickly realized that it was negligence on his own side.
Until William’s car was out of sight from the rearview mirror, John retracted his gaze. Inebriated, he leaned against the seat and closed his eyes, slowly dozing off.
When he had reached Constance Residence, the chauffeur called out to John to awaken him.
Getting out of the car, John leaned against the car for a while to sober up. Then, he slowly walked into the main building and told the cook to get him a hangover tonic.
When the tonic was ready, William returned home. Although William had consumed lots of alcohol as well, he appeared to be more clear-headed than this son. Upon entering the house, he directly took a seat opposite John.
Since his wife was asleep, William questioned in a lowered voice, “Have you figured it out?”
Resting on the couch, John was on the verge of falling asleep. When he heard that, he frowned. “What?”
Helplessly, William asked, “Don’t you understand that you were almost taken advantage of?”
The question made John scowl.
William smiled. “Sober up and think about it. It seems that you’re really intoxicated since you can’t even see through it.”
John slumped onto the couch. Maybe I really am drunk.
His mood seemed to have played a part as well. It wasn’t his first time drinking so heavily, but he had never been so wasted before.
After a while, he finished the hangover tonic and went upstairs. With his eyes half open, he fumbled along the corridor and reached his room. Following that, he turned the doorknob and walked in.
Without hesitation, Ian agreed to it and hung up the call.
A short while later, Ian arrived at her home with barbecued food and bottles of beer.
Sophia had been waiting for him at the entrance. Seeing him, she looked behind him and questioned, “Why isn’t Logan with you?”
Ian answered, “I didn’t call him. If he came as well, we would have a restless night. It’ll only be the two of us tonight.”
After pondering on it for a while, Sophia found him sensible, so she nodded. “Alright, don’t call him.”
Barbecued food matched perfectly with beer. Since Sophia had had her dinner, she wasn’t hungry at all. However, the story of Ian’s discussion with Lorraine on the talent show was so intriguing that she unknowingly drank more beer than she should.

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...
