Female Novel
Chapter 1352
Sophia stared at John. After a long while, she said, “No one else is interested in me since I’m only atouch alluring in your eyes. Don’t tell me you truly think those young, single guys will take a liking to amarried lady who has conceived a child like me?”
John’s expression remained tense. “What has your allure got to do with whether you’re married or havea child? In my opinion, you’re more beautiful than the average woman, so you’re more alluring thanthem.”
The two of them were initially headed for a row, but it veered off tangent at this remark, so theargument was no longer on the horizon. After all, this was obviously a somewhat corny complaint.
Sophia struggled for a bit. “Get up quickly. Get up! You’re crushing me.” John didn’t move, so sheheaved a sigh. “Let me tell you that no one else is interested in me. Even if someone were interested inme, I’m not interested in anyone else. You, John Constance, are so alluring that I’m worried that if Iwere to let go of you, Isabelle would quickly snatch you away.”
Upon hearing this, John’s expression eased. He flipped over and got off her, lying down beside herinstead.
Sophia then continued, “Don’t keep harping on the fact that Ian is interested in me. I’m not evenguarding against Isabelle on your side, so this is the pot calling the kettle black. Do you really wantthings to persist like this?”
Pursing his lips, John resentfully muttered, “That’s different.” novelbin
“What’s the difference?” Sophia flipped to her side to face him. “Do you dare say that Isabelle doesn’thave feelings for you? Do you believe that if we were to get divorced now and you were to go back toher, she’d still be willing to get together with you?”
John shot her a glare. “Stop talking nonsense. What divorce? Don’t simply say such a thing!”
Snorting, Sophia continued pursuing the subject, saying, “You can’t tell me that Isabelle has no feelingsfor you, so she’s no different to me than Ian is to you. However, do I guard against her as you guardagainst Ian? Was my attitude toward her amiable when she came over a few days ago? And did Iobject when you rushed over to help her with Elder Mr. Bailey’s cremation with a mere phone call fromher?”
John’s brows furrowed, but before he could say anything in response, Sophia added, “Be honest withyourself, John. If this matter is reversed, and it was me rushing over to help Ian, will you be this calmnow? Are you as magnanimous as I am?”
At this, John went silent. He thought, If this matter is reversed, and I know that Ian is in trouble, Iwouldn’t be able to stomach her running over to help him. Even if I don’t say anything, my attitude willstill be different.
As Sophia looked at his expression, she knew that her words had gone through. Snorting, she turnedonto her back and stared at the ceiling. “I’m far more magnanimous than you.”
John was rendered speechless, and Sophia didn’t want to continue arguing with him either. After all,some things would damage the relationship if they were put too clearly. Anyhow, she believed that heunderstood her meaning. Closing her eyes, she composed herself, but a bout of drowsiness assaultedher. Just when she was on the verge of dozing off, she felt him leaning close to her.
John gave a soft sigh, his breath hitting her ear. Then, he carefully pulled her into his arms. “It’sbecause I care about you.” His voice was very low, so much so that it wasn’t certain whether heintended her to hear those words.
Sophia merely turned and burrowed into his embrace, reaching out to hug him around the waist. Withthis action, no other words were necessary.
Meanwhile, Logan took Lola to visit the attractions nearby. After Ian had taken half the day to come outwith them, he didn’t have any more time on his hands. While his work wasn’t really packed, he didn’thave much time to spare. Nonetheless, Logan was in no hurry, so he strolled around with Lola. Theyhad a lot of time, so they wanted to kill time while waiting to follow Ian to his next work destination.
Lola, on the other hand, had never been so relaxed. Besides eating, drinking, and having fun, nothingelse existed in her mind every day.
