Chapter 455
Matilda nodded. “If there’s anything you don’t understand, just call John. It takes time to developfondness for each other, hence you’ll have to get in touch with him more often.”
Isabelle pouted her lips and said, “I had wanted to pay you a visit at the Constance Residence a fewdays ago. John seems to be busy recently and doesn’t reply to my messages, so I want to go to hishouse.”
Matilda pursed her lips. “John is indeed busy recently, so don’t blame him for not giving you enoughattention. He’ll be free soon.”
Isabelle nodded. “Right. How are you doing? John said that something happened to the Flintstones, soyou have returned to your own family.”
Matilda lowered her gaze and pressed her lips together. A while later, she mumbled, “Yes, somethinghappened.”
On the other side, Sophia was gleeful that the fact that Matilda and William were divorced was madecertain. After buying all the necessary items from the mall, she returned to her shop and started gettingthe shop ready with Robin.
Since it was her first time starting a business, she was nervous. When she wasn’t around, Robin hadalready categorized the items needed for their shop. While looking at Robin’s list, Sophia slowly put theitems in place.
Just then, a car parked outside their shop. Sophia didn’t take it seriously at first, but moments later, thecar was still there. Frowning, Sophia put down the things in her hands and walked over. Since the carnovelbin
window was down, she immediately saw the person inside the car. Flashing a smile at him, sheinquired, “Why are you here?”
At that moment, Zack was taking a video of the shop with his phone. Hearing that, he smirked. “I’mhere to ask when your shop will open. By then, I’ll send you a flower stand personally.”
Sophia stood beside the car and replied, “I haven’t decided on the date yet as I’m learning how to goabout the business. I’ll make a decision when I’m ready.”
Zack took a look at the shop name. “Your shop name doesn’t sound auspicious.”
Sophia looked up at the board and laughed. “It sounds dispiriting, right? That’s right. Life is not a bed ofroses. It’s the reality we’re in.”
Zack clenched his phone and fell into silence. He had just reported to John the recent developments ofSophia’s shop. For some reason, John started caring about Sophia’s matters recently. He wasn’t likethis before.
After giving it a thought, Zack said, “Oh right. I took many photos when we were on a business tripsome time back, but I didn’t have the time to manage them. Last night, I got them all sorted. I’ll sendthem to you later.”
Sophia was startled for a moment before she remembered what photos he was talking about. “Ah,okay. I don’t even remember it if you didn’t mention it.”
Zack stared at her. “You seem to have gotten rather carefree recently.”
Sophia beamed. “It’s because I’ve gotten over it.” She and John were not destined to be together, soshe didn’t want to get stuck in the sorrow anymore. Fortunately, she came to that realization in time andwalked out of the misery.
Zack sighed. “I don’t know what’s going on between you two, but it seems that he’s the one who’s in adilemma now.”
Sophia burst into laughter. “He will get used to it eventually. He’s used to being served, so after Istopped pestering him, he just couldn’t accept the fact yet. He’ll be alright in no time.” Upon somepondering, she added, “Well, with Isabelle as my replacement, he’ll be happy again soon.”
Zack shook his head slowly. “You don’t get it.”
Despite what Zack said, he also couldn’t understand John’s actions. He had never seen such reactionsfrom John before.
