Female Novel
Chapter 459
When William spoke to John a moment ago, he seemed to be sending him a warning with hisexpression. John quickly realized that it was negligence on his own side.
Until William’s car was out of sight from the rearview mirror, John retracted his gaze. Inebriated, heleaned against the seat and closed his eyes, slowly dozing off.
When he had reached Constance Residence, the chauffeur called out to John to awaken him.
Getting out of the car, John leaned against the car for a while to sober up. Then, he slowly walked intothe main building and told the cook to get him a hangover tonic.
When the tonic was ready, William returned home. Although William had consumed lots of alcohol aswell, he appeared to be more clear-headed than this son. Upon entering the house, he directly took aseat opposite John.
Since his wife was asleep, William questioned in a lowered voice, “Have you figured it out?”
Resting on the couch, John was on the verge of falling asleep. When he heard that, he frowned.“What?”
Helplessly, William asked, “Don’t you understand that you were almost taken advantage of?”
The question made John scowl.
William smiled. “Sober up and think about it. It seems that you’re really intoxicated since you can’t evensee through it.”
John slumped onto the couch. Maybe I really am drunk.
His mood seemed to have played a part as well. It wasn’t his first time drinking so heavily, but he hadnever been so wasted before.
After a while, he finished the hangover tonic and went upstairs. With his eyes half open, he fumbledalong the corridor and reached his room. Following that, he turned the doorknob and walked in.
For an instant, he felt that the room was a little different. Without turning on the light, he reached for hisbed with the help of the moonlight.
Plunging into the bed, he kicked away his shoes, took out his phone from his pocket and tossed itaside. Then, he pulled the quilt closer and mumbled, “Sophia, you’re such a heartless woman.”
Even in his dazed state, he still complained about Sophia.
On the other side, Sophia was sorting the data on her computer in the study. Since her shop would beready to open in a few days, she and Robin had been burning the midnight oil. More importantly, therewere many things that she had to learn.
When Sophia was done with it, she turned off the computer. Just then, her phone started ringing; it wasa call from Ian. When the call was connected, Ian said in an excited voice, “Sophia, do you want tohave supper with me?”
Sophia took a look at the time and realized that it was late. Still, she was surprised that Ian was looking
for her at such an hour. “You sound happy. What happened?”
Ian gave an affirmative grunt and explained, “Yes, I’m really excited. I met up with Lorraine Jeffersonand discussed the talent show with her. I want to see you now.”
Then, Sophia asked where he was, and he said that he was on the way to her house. After giving it athought, she inquired, “Why don’t you get takeaway for the supper and have it at my place?” Since shewas done washing up and getting changed, she didn’t want to step out of the house anymore.
Without hesitation, Ian agreed to it and hung up the call.
A short while later, Ian arrived at her home with barbecued food and bottles of beer.
Sophia had been waiting for him at the entrance. Seeing him, she looked behind him and questioned,“Why isn’t Logan with you?”
Ian answered, “I didn’t call him. If he came as well, we would have a restless night. It’ll only be the twoof us tonight.”
After pondering on it for a while, Sophia found him sensible, so she nodded. “Alright, don’t call him.”
Barbecued food matched perfectly with beer. Since Sophia had had her dinner, she wasn’t hungry atall. However, the story of Ian’s discussion with Lorraine on the talent show was so intriguing that sheunknowingly drank more beer than she should. novelbin
