John wrinkled his brows as he watched the man walk to Sophia and said something to her. When she heard his words, Sophia looked obviously startled. The man even ruffled his own hair and was looking a little bit embarrassed.
Alarm bells suddenly rang in John’s head. He stood up and said to Matilda, “Wait here for me.”
With that, he left the shop and headed toward Sophia, who didn’t even notice him as her attention was on the man in front of her. In fact, it wasn’t accurate to describe the guy as a ‘man’. He was more like a ‘boy’.
According to what she knew, this boy had just graduated from university. Since she was already married before, such a fresh graduate was really just a boy to her. He couldn’t be considered a man.
When John came up, Zack was talking to the boy. “You two have such a big age gap. I don’t think she is suitable for you, so there’s no point in asking for her number.”
The boy’s face flushed red as he said, “I’m just asking. I-I have no other intentions.”
Sophia pursed her mouth. Seeing how nervous the boy looked, he must have mustered up all his courage before coming over. Therefore, she hesitated for a moment, while Zack went on to ask, “So why are you asking for her number?”
His tone was teasing as he smiled, making the boy’s face turning even redder.
John went over and said, “I’ll give you the number. Note it down.”
Dazed, the boy stared at John and then hurriedly fished out his own phone. John then rattled off a string of numbers. Both Zack and Sophia were taken aback by what he had done.
Sophia sighed silently in her heart. This jerk gave his own number! How cruel is he?
The boy didn’t know that, so he quickly noted down the phone number and even repeated it once. “Is that correct?”
John replied, “Yes.”
After standing outside for a while, Sophia saw that they weren’t finished yet, so she said to Zack and Robin, “Come, let’s go back. They’re so slow. How much do they have to say to each other? It’s been so long, yet they haven’t wrapped things up.”
When Sophia returned to the shop, Matilda understood her intentions at once. Thus, she stood up and told John, “Right, John. I’ll leave first. If I have time, I’ll call you. You must pick up.”
John stood up with a nod. “Okay.”
Then, he sent Matilda out of the shop. When the latter was leaving, she glanced at Sophia with a slightly displeased expression.
Sophia almost spat in response. This old woman really deserves a good beating. How dare she be so rude on my territory? Is she out of her mind?
John came back after a while, but he only returned to get his jacket. After saying that he had something to do so he would have to leave first, he then left and brought Zack with him. The shop became quiet once again.

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...
