Female Novel
Chapter 163
Sophia was startled. Since she was enthusiastically talking about herself, Dylan’s interruption scatteredher thoughts. A touch mystified at first, she asked, “Huh?”
Dylan gestured to her hand. “Why aren’t you wearing your wedding ring?”
Lowering her head, Sophia glanced at her finger. In reality, she’d taken off her wedding ring when shesigned the divorce agreement. There was a faint circle mark on the base of her finger initially, but afterall this time, even that mark was gone.
She hesitated for a moment before flashing him a helpless smile. “That ring actually didn’t really fit myfinger, so it has always been uncomfortable to wear.” She looked up at him and pursed her lips briefly.“It was Mrs. Constance who chose the ring back then. It’s really not my size, but I was embarrassed tospeak up in the past and just wore it reluctantly. However, nothing can change the fact that it doesn’t fit,and I can’t just make do, else I’d only make life difficult for myself. Thus, I took it off.” One couldn’t quitetell whether this explanation referred to the ring or Sophia herself. Nonetheless, she was telling thetruth, for it was indeed Mrs. Constance who chose the ring.
At that time, John claimed that he was swamped with work, so he’d never been involved in choosingthe wedding gown or wedding ring. All at once, Sophia recalled their pre-wedding photo shoot. If itweren’t for the fact that he needed to put on a show for Old Mr. Constance, he initially wanted to havesomeone Photoshop the pre-wedding photos. He didn’t even want a pre-wedding photo shoot. Shedidn’t really consider this in the past, but recalling it now, she found it truly ridiculous. If possible, heprobably wanted someone else to attend the wedding and get married on his behalf. How did I manageto live so pitifully in the past?
At the side, Dylan grunted in understanding before saying, “But the situation now is somewhat different.
If someone notices it, it’ll easily be made into a big deal.”
A moment of clarity hit, finally reminding Sophia of this matter. Ah yes, that rat b*stard, JohnConstance, is currently in trouble, and I need to work with him in all things. Blinking, she mischievouslydeclared, “That’s perfect! It’s my chance now to have him buy me a new one someday, and this time, Iwant to choose the ring myself.”
Dylan merely chuckled without commenting. After only chatting zealously for a while, Sophia didn’tkeep him for long and left. Subsequently, Dylan started getting busy with his work.
Nevertheless, Sophia didn’t feel self-conscious. She looked around the office alone before ploppingdown on the sofa in his office and started playing games on her cell phone. In the beginning, she satdecorously, but she later couldn’t quite stand it anymore. Slipping off her shoes, she sat cross-leggedon the sofa in an extremely casual manner.
The moment Dylan lifted his head after glancing through a few documents and making annotations, hesaw her smiling at her cell phone. The background sound was very soft, but it was still faintly audible.Massaging his temples, he put the documents away at the side. Then, he stared at her intently.
Sophia became an entirely different person after returning from that business trip with John. He’d evenheard that she hit Mrs. Constance a few days ago. Everyone didn’t believe it at first, but the servantsclaimed to have seen Mrs. Constance dashing off tears and complaining to Old Mrs. Constance. Then,John and Sophia moved out, indirectly proving those rumors true. However, Mrs. Constance hadn’tkicked up a fuss after Sophia hit her.
This doesn’t quite make sense. Dylan subconsciously frowned since he knew full well the type ofperson his aunt was. She can’t suffer even the slightest grievance. All these years, even William hasnovelbin
always spoken to her kindly. Meanwhile, Sophia has always been the target of her harassment, so whydidn’t she kick up a huge fuss when Sophia suddenly hit her? Licking his posterior molars, the look inhis eyes as he gazed at Sophia became increasingly curious.
Sophia, however, didn’t know all this as she remained smiling at the screen of her cell phone.
When John came over, this was the picture that greeted him—Sophia sitting cross-legged on the sofaas she usually did in his office, while Dylan sat at his desk, staring at her intently. Everyone is busy, yethe isn’t even going through his documents? Instead, he has his arms crossed with a hint of a smileplaying on his lips!
