Female Novel
Chapter 1003
More rustling sounds at Isabelle’s side came over the phone again before Isabelle hung up the callwithout a word.
Squeezing the phone, Sophia contemplated for a long time, and then sent a message to John tellinghim her guesses about Isabelle’s location. There was no reply from him though; it seemed that he wasvery busy.
After that, Sophia grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom. Taking off her coat, she looked ather belly in the mirror. It's really amazing how my belly is protruding so obviously now.
Sophia touched her belly as she imagined a little child sleeping in there. It was something she didn'tdare to think about before. Perhaps it was because she felt insecure at that time, so she didn't dare tothink about the future. Now, however, when everything calmed down around her, she wouldoccasionally think about what it would be like for children to run and laugh around her in the future.
After looking in the mirror for a while, she took a shower before coming out to see John's missed callon her phone. She hurriedly called back, and John picked up this time. His tone sounded quiteunruffled as he told her that he was a little busy now and might be back quite late, so Sophia shouldn’twait up for him.
However, John was also afraid that Sophia might feel distressed, so he emphasized that he woulddefinitely be back at night.
This man really has learned his lesson now, Sophia thought. Hence, she agreed and said, "Okay. Iunderstand. Please be careful out there. Also, have you seen the message I sent you? Isabelle
answered the phone, but I think someone is watching her by her side."
John said that he had seen it before he added, "I’ve asked Zack to send someone to investigate. Theyshould be able to find her by today or tomorrow."
However, John hadn’t thought about what to do next after finding the location where Isabelle wasdetained. As he had said before, this was Isabelle's own affair, so he really wasn’t in a position tointervene.
The phone call between Sophia and John did not last long. After hanging up the phone, Sophia lay onthe bed and turned on some peaceful music on her phone to help her sleep better.
It didn't take long for her to fall asleep. This time, there was no burden in her heart, so she sleptsoundly.
In the middle of the night, Sophia heard the door of the room opening. She thought that John wascoming in, so she rolled over and opened her eyes to face the door.
At the door, John took off his coat first, and then went straight to the bathroom without turning on thelights. Then, he also closed the bathroom door. Next, he turned on a small light in the bathroom, andthere came the sound of running water as he took a bath.
Sophia somehow felt that John was behaving quite unusually when he came back now. Although therewere no major issues with the series of actions he had taken, she felt they were really different to whathe would have done normally.
Sophia waited in bed, but John took quite a long time taking his bath. When he finally came out, Sophiasat up slowly and said without turning on the lights, "What's wrong? Did something happen out there?" novelbin
Startled, John immediately replied, "Did I wake you up? I'm fine. Why do you ask?"
Sophia grunted in response, but she still felt something was wrong. "I feel that you aren’t quite thesame when you came back today."
Smiling, John dried his hair, put on his clothes and came over to her. "There's nothing different aboutme. I think you’re just overthinking things.”
The lights still remained off as John came over and lay down. After that, he hugged Sophia, saying,"Sleep. It's late."
Sophia nodded, but she couldn't sleep for a while. Lying on the bed, she stared up at the ceiling.
After a while, John had fallen asleep peacefully. Sophia waited for a moment before getting up andtiptoed to the bathroom as quietly as she could.
