Female Novel
Chapter 490
After putting Logan down with her insult, Sophia reached out for her phone and looked at it. “Alright, it’sabout time for me to go. I still have to accompany John’s grandma to the monastery later.”
Logan disapproved of Sophia’s action and said, “Come on, are you serious about hanging out with hisgrandma? You guys are still acting like a married couple. What difference did your divorce make?”
In fact, Logan wasn’t alone because Sophia felt the same way. Something has been wrong with Johnfor the past two days. Furthermore, it didn’t seem right for him to come over to dine with me like thedivorce was for nothing. No way! This is not who I am, and I must put a stop to this. I used to thinkthere was still a chance for us to work things out, but now, I’ve changed my mind.
The next moment, Sophia pursed her lips and said, “In that case, I guess I know what to do now.”Then, she flagged down a cab and told the driver the address of her destination. Although she couldhave saved the trouble if she had taken the ride of Old Mrs. Constance’s driver, she insisted onheading to the Constance Residence by herself. Upon arrival, Sophia didn’t enter the residence butinstead waited outside the entrance. It was only when Old Mrs. Constance’s car came out that sheentered it.
As soon as they both saw each other, Old Mrs. Constance excitedly held her hands. “Why didn’t youcome inside? What were you waiting for?”
Sophia looked down and smiled. “Nothing.”
Old Mrs. Constance sighed and said, “I was initially planning to visit the monastery with John, but itlooks like he’s been busy with work recently.”
Oh dear! I hope he doesn’t tag along because I don’t want to see him. Noticing Sophia’s silence, OldMrs. Constance didn’t say a single word more.
While the monastery was situated in the mountain, it was still visited by many of its pious devotees,even on working days. As the car pulled up in the car park at the foot of the mountain, they made theirway up the hill. Fortunately, the path up the mountain was not that steep and that it wasn’t so tiring forthe ladies to hike until they arrived at the monastery, where their arrival was received by a priest.
As the priest recognized Old Mrs. Constance, he immediately led them to the backyard, giving Sophiaan indication that the old lady must be a regular visitor of the place. On the other hand, Sophia hadnever been to this monastery before. Listening to the choir, she miraculously felt relieved as it put hermind to ease. Soon, they were greeted by the High Priest who was waiting for them in the chamber.
In that instant, Sophia felt as if she was a child who hadn’t seen the outside world at all, following suitwhen Old Mrs. Constance crossed her arms in front of her chest to greet the High Priest upon seeinghim. When the High Priest noticed Sophia, he smiled and said, “I guess this must be the same ladywho came here the last time. Am I right?”
Old Mrs. Constance responded with an affirmative hum.
The High Priest smiled and said, “I can tell from your look that you’re blessed with good fortune.”
Upon hearing that, Sophia wasn’t sure whether the High Priest said that out of courtesy or because hehad a keen foresight. Nonetheless, she only smiled in response while another priest gave themhassocks to kneel on. Then, Old Mrs. Constance stated her purpose to ask about her grandson’smarriage, and when she said that, her eyes unknowingly shifted to Sophia.
Meanwhile, Sophia had no idea what she could do except kneeling with Old Mrs. Constance in silence.Soon, the High Priest began to preach for a bit, which Sophia didn’t bother to understand a single wordof. After that, they stood up and headed to a chamber in the backyard.
When they got there, a wooden box caught Sophia’s eyes as it reminded her of another similar one thatshe saw at the Blackwell Residence. Besides, the wooden box with tarot cards seemed to besurrounded by a few priests who were chanting. Then, the old lady turned around to Sophia and asked,“Why don’t you come and pick one yourself?”
Sophia chuckled and said, “No thanks. I’m good because I don’t have anything to wish for anyway.”novelbin
