Female Novel
Chapter 187
“Sophia, just tell me the truth. Do you like Ian?” John let slip a sigh before mumbling, while Sophiaseemed to be sound asleep as she didn’t give him a reply, but neither was he intent on getting a replyas he rambled on, “It’s okay if you like him, but you should spend more time knowing his characterbefore going out with him. How dare you get drunk while with him despite not having known him forlong? Do you have sh*t for brains?”
Meanwhile, Sophia slept with her head leaned to a side, with no signs indicating that she would wakeup. It was thus John continued on, “The Morgans are hard to deal with, so you and Ian won’t be acompatible match. He has no power within his family because of his identity as an illegitimate son, soyou have to know that your life would be even harsher than while you were with my family if you marryhim. I made a promise with my grandfather to take care of you and that I will be nice to you, so I haveto hand you over to someone dependable. You will also have to be more wary of your surroundings, sofind someone who you could trust, do you understand me?” novelbin
However, Sophia heard none of what he said, as she was in a deep, dreamless slumber. After washingher limbs, John tried to move her out of the tub, but his movements made her uncomfortable. Besides,her clothes were also glued to her body after being drenched by water, which she tried to pry off, onlyto have her bra strap fall off her shoulder as she moved her hands to her back. “This feels souncomfortable.”
“Just hold on and bear with it until I leave.” John held her hand down while exhaling, but Sophia wasn’tabout to comply with what he said as she cast his hand away before removing her bra. The sight of ithad John go retrieve a towel with gritted teeth, but she was even faster than him, as she had taken offher underwear.
He gritted even harder on his teeth while wrapping her up in a towel before lifting her out of the tub. Inthe meantime, Sophia kept on mumbling about how uncomfortable she was, “It’s hot in here... I feelnauseous and dizzy...”
It’s one thing after another with this woman.
Upon carrying her to the bed, he tried to put on the pajamas he got for her, while Sophia seemed tohave gotten slightly sober after creating such a commotion. She shot up from bed while staring at Johnwith an innocent look on her face, yet she didn’t seem to register at all that something was off. On theother hand, John dared not even look her way, as the sight of her reminded him of their wedding night.
She wore a similar expression during their first night together while looking just as ignorant. With hisback facing her, John said, “Here’s your pajamas. I believe you can put them on yourself.”
While she hummed a response before getting out of bed, instead of reaching for the pajamas, shereached out to John as she grumbled, “John, I’m cold.”
Not a surprise when you’re still dripping wet and had no clothes on, John figured while willing himself tonot listen to her voice, as his mind kept on wandering to very inappropriate scenes.
Sophia hugged him from behind after getting out of bed. “John, I’m scared.”
His throat bobbed as he lifted his head. “Lie down on your bed and go to sleep. You’ll feel better whenyou wake up the next day.”
“Please don’t blame me, as I also wish for Grandpa’s recovery.” A muddled mind had jumbled up hersense of space and time as she spoke in a low voice, to which John responded with a frown in silence.
She thus went on, “I never told you about it, but I believed that our marriage could bring good luck tothe family.”
Upon noticing his silence, Sophia let go of him, going around to stand in front of him. “Are you mad atme?”
Sophia was standing there stark naked, and John was no dead man. He thus turned away from her ashe said, “You get some rest, while I’ll be taking my leave.”
While bypassing her in an attempt to reach for the door, Sophia rushed into his arms as she cried out,“No, no, no! You’re going to sleep in the study again! We’re a married couple, yet you always sleep inthe study!”
