Female Novel
Chapter 1195
Hmm, the netizens are quite upstanding this time. John scanned through the comments, feeling verymuch gratified with the netizens’ reaction. At least, no one is blaming the victim and talking crap basedon conjecture.
After a while, a servant approached with a fruit platter, probably having been ordered by Old Mrs.Constance to bring out some food since they’d been out here for ages. When she walked up and sawthat Sophia had dozed off, she promptly lightened her steps. John then motioned to the table at theside with his eyes, whereupon she placed the fruits there alongside various other snacks on the platter.
Sophia’s appetite these days was truly odd. For instance, she suddenly wanted to eat radish paste afew days ago. He went to a few places and bought her different flavors, but she then complained thatnone was her ideal taste. Thus, Old Mrs. Constance had someone go to a rural village to checkwhether anyone was making homemade paste and purchase some back. The person whom she askedwas quite reliable, for he truly found some homemade paste in the village. However, when it wasbrought back, her craving had passed, and she hankered for baked potatoes instead.
Supporting her head, John took a blanket from the side and placed it under her head as he slowlyreclined her against the chair. He had to go and buy dessert back for her, else her taste might changeagain when she woke up. He wanted to give her everything she wanted to eat in the moment itself.
Ordering the servant to stay and keep an eye on Sophia, he then left. He drove toward Robin’s dessertshop. The signage had already changed to a pink one, looking very cozy. The name of the shop hadalso changed to a combination of Robin and Lincoln’s names. No matter what the changed name is, it’smuch better than the name of Sophia’s shop previously.
Robin was startled upon seeing John. She hurriedly ushered him in and urged him to have a seat.Then, she even peered outside. “Sophia didn’t come with you?”
John murmured in affirmation. “She’s sleeping at home. I just came out to buy her something back.”
Upon hearing that, Robin understood his meaning at once. “She’s craving for dessert, yes? Wait amoment. I’ll pack some for you right away.” She quickly grabbed a plastic bag and placed several typesof dessert in it for Sophia. As she did so, she noted, “A few of these are my new creations recently, soI’ll let her try them.”
Turning his head, John glanced around the small shop. She has added a lot more things now. There’san ice cream machine, and she’s even selling oden! He chuckled. “You’re quite good at this. There’s alot more variety now.”
The corners of Robin’s mouth turned up. “I’m just trying my hand. I like doing this, so I experimentwhen I’m free.”
John merely nodded without saying anything. novelbin
When Robin was done packing everything into the bag, she came over and placed it on the table, butJohn didn’t leave immediately. Lifting his eyes, he stared at her for a moment. “How’s life? Is he goodto you?”
Robin sat down across from him. “Life’s good. He’s mild-tempered, so he even mollifies me when I getinto a snit sometimes. At least, we’ve never fought until now.”
Humming thoughtfully, John murmured, “That’s good.”
Robin fixed her gaze on him, not quite able to put a name to this feeling that abruptly surged within her.A while later, she retracted her gaze. Crossing her hands on the table, she kept her gaze on her fingerswhich she kept twiddling. “You know what, John? You’re quite infatuating.”
At first, John didn’t grasp her meaning, and he even laughed. “You’re joking! I’m actually not that good.”
