John couldn’t help but wonder how scum like Walter managed to give birth to someone like Sophia. Upon averting his gaze, John’s thoughts began to wander.
After spending some time lounging about in Sophia’s house, the few of them were ready to leave. By then, John told Sophia to get a fresh change of clothes as he wanted to take her out to a meal.
Sophia nodded in agreement as she was hungry. Both the journey and the food she ate on the train left her feeling sick. Leaving to change her clothes, Sophia went upstairs, while John followed suit after waiting where he stood for a few moments.
Meanwhile, Fabian snorted while remaining in the living room. “Just look at him. I’ve never seen such an expression on his face before this. Even though Sophia won’t be going anywhere, he just seemed so anxious.”
Heaving a sigh, Zack said, “I just don’t understand why he was so intent on divorcing her back then, but I suppose he is now reaping what he sowed. I wonder how he feels about it.” Truth be told, none of them knew why John divorced Sophia in the first place. They always kept their married life private, so nobody expected the sudden divorce.
Meanwhile, John entered the room just when Sophia was putting on her shirt, but he only managed to catch a glimpse of her waist before it was covered by her clothes again. Sophia quickly tidied her clothes, but she did so in silence as there were people downstairs. Visibly upset, she chided, “John, don’t you ever knock before you enter someone else’s room? I don’t like what you’re doing.”
Letting out a grunt, John went along with it. “I know I made a mistake, so I will make sure to not repeat it.”
Sophia combed her hair while asking, “Why are you here anyway? I’m only changing my clothes, so it won’t take long.”
John replied, “You left your phone with me when you were sleeping, and I got a call from someone who claims to be your mother.”
