What the heck! I shouldn’t have watched it and made myself upset!
After resting on the chair for a while, John fished out his phone and called Sophia. He did not need to ask her to know that she must have seen what Ian had said on the show.
It took Sophia some time to connect the call, and she spoke in her usual impatient tone. After John asked what she was doing, she didn’t reply to him directly but instead questioned, “Why are you looking for me?”
After giving it a thought, John said, “Ian has joined the contest.”
Sophia grinned. “I know. I just watched the show.”
As expected, she knew about it. After waiting for a bit, John went on, “So, the girlfriend he’s talking about is you?”
Although this wasn’t an interrogation, John didn’t sound polite. Before she could reply, he continued, “Ian doesn’t know what happened last night, right?”
John didn’t mean to mock when he asked that question; he simply wanted to mention the incident last night. However, the question sounded rude, no matter in what tone it was asked. After a pause, Sophia replied, “Of course I’m the girlfriend he’s talking about. Could you be his girlfriend instead? Also, what happened last night isn’t something I need to hide from Ian. If he minds it, I’ll tell him about it.”
John closed his eyes, for he could feel that their conversation was turning sour, but this wasn’t what he intended when he called.
Seeing as he wasn’t speaking, Sophia went on, “If you’ve called to ask me about it, we can end the call now. I’m busy.”
John fell silent. After waiting for a while, Sophia hung up the call. Then, her expression turned into a furious one. What the heck! How could he call to question me? Who does he think he is?
Knowing what he wanted to ask her, Sophia said, “I’m going to sleep. Bye.” She proceeded to hang up the call. Sure enough, Logan wanted to ask me what Ian meant when he said those things on the show, but I’m not in the mood to give an explanation.
She covered herself with a quilt and thought, How could Ian have the guts to talk about it on a show that would be broadcast to a large audience? This kind of joke should only be told among friends!
She tossed and turned until she couldn’t take it anymore and got out of the bed. Upon picking up her phone, she texted Ian. ‘Text me back when you’re free.’
Normally at this hour, Ian would still be training for the show, so Sophia didn’t expect him to see the message immediately.

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...
