Old Mrs. Constance sighed as she closed her eyes to pick a tarot card. Soon, the High Priest held that card in his hand, turning around before he sat in a wooden chair.
Meanwhile, Sophia shifted her eyes elsewhere, realizing the chamber’s door to be made of bamboo with a vintage appearance. She then secretly walked out of the chamber and stood at the entrance while gazing at the quiet backyard with barely any visitors.
Sophia continued to wait a little longer, but when she noticed nothing new in the chamber, she decided to head down the brick path until she reached a corner where she saw a main hall on the left. Then, she saw a few priests talking to a pious follower who appeared to react solemnly and courteously.
Observing their interaction, Sophia stood in place for a few seconds until the follower turned around. Nonetheless, she didn’t move but instead stared at the latter, who turned out to be John. After that, the man slowly walked down the stairs at the main hall entrance toward Sophia. “Is my grandma still in there?”
Sophia responded with an affirmative hum and replied, “She is in there, asking the High Priest about your marriage life in the future.” Judging from his casual appearance, I doubt he didn’t come here directly from his office. Not long after that, Sophia added, “Old Mrs. Constance said you couldn’t come because you were busy, but it looks like you’re not as busy as she said.”
John smiled and said, “I managed to find time and come here.” Considering the circumstance that she was in, she restrained herself from losing her temper even though she knew Old Mrs. Constance had an ulterior motive in taking her here. Soon, she heard the choir once more. Feeling calmer, she felt as if she could think and analyze more rationally.
Upon scanning his surroundings, John said, “I bet you haven’t been here before. Perhaps I could show you around.”
Sophia replied positively and walked beside John along the brick path as she suddenly said, “I’m going to start a business soon, so I’ll be busy. By then, I won’t be able to be of help.” While Sophia wasn’t sure whether John understood what she meant, the man only responded with an affirmative hum.
Sophia said, “I’m actually pretty curious about what Old Mrs. Constance finds out from the High Priest.”
John then turned his attention to Sophia. “You sure you don’t have anything you want to ask the High Priest?”

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...
