Surprisingly, John didn’t struggle but stood up with the momentum of Sophia’s push. However, he then raised his hand and grabbed her wrist. His tone seemingly teasing, he asked, “Who do you want to see if not me? Ian? Or Dylan?”
Sophia was taken aback. “John Constance, go and check yourself into the psychiatric hospital if you’ve gone insane! Why did you come here?”
Chuckling, John lifted a hand and grasped her chin. Sophia, however, twisted her head and shook off his hand right away. “I’m warning you, Sophia Gwendolyn, that no other man is allowed. Behave yourself. I’ll be gone on a business trip for the next few days, but I’ve already arranged for someone to tail you. If you dare betray me in any way, I’ll kill you when I return,” John threatened.
Sophia shot daggers at him. “You should hurry home and take your medicine. You’re severely ill, so it might be incurable if you tarry.”
John yanked her into his embrace. “Sophia Gwendolyn, you tormenting little temptress, let me tell you that I’m perfectly serious. If you dare get together with another man, I’ll really kill you.” He’d mulled this over for a long time today, ruminating on Dylan’s remarks earlier. She’s temperamental, so all the aggressiveness in the world won’t work if I don’t get ruthless with her.
“Scram!” Putting all her might into it, Sophia shoved him out.
John chortled. “Remember what I said, Sophia.” After saying that, he straightened his clothes and brushed past her.
He truly left just like that. Standing there, Sophia gritted her teeth in fury. After a while, she swiftly locked the door and windows. I just can’t figure out how he got in this time. She even went over and checked the door lock, but John’s fingerprint wasn’t in the system. She clenched her jaw, having no target to vent her anger.
