Female Novel
Chapter 573
Surprisingly, John didn’t struggle but stood up with the momentum of Sophia’s push. However, he thenraised his hand and grabbed her wrist. His tone seemingly teasing, he asked, “Who do you want to seeif not me? Ian? Or Dylan?”
Sophia was taken aback. “John Constance, go and check yourself into the psychiatric hospital if you’vegone insane! Why did you come here?”
Chuckling, John lifted a hand and grasped her chin. Sophia, however, twisted her head and shook offhis hand right away. “I’m warning you, Sophia Gwendolyn, that no other man is allowed. Behaveyourself. I’ll be gone on a business trip for the next few days, but I’ve already arranged for someone totail you. If you dare betray me in any way, I’ll kill you when I return,” John threatened.
Sophia shot daggers at him. “You should hurry home and take your medicine. You’re severely ill, so itmight be incurable if you tarry.”
John yanked her into his embrace. “Sophia Gwendolyn, you tormenting little temptress, let me tell youthat I’m perfectly serious. If you dare get together with another man, I’ll really kill you.” He’d mulled thisover for a long time today, ruminating on Dylan’s remarks earlier. She’s temperamental, so all theaggressiveness in the world won’t work if I don’t get ruthless with her.
“Scram!” Putting all her might into it, Sophia shoved him out.
John chortled. “Remember what I said, Sophia.” After saying that, he straightened his clothes andbrushed past her.
He truly left just like that. Standing there, Sophia gritted her teeth in fury. After a while, she swiftly
locked the door and windows. I just can’t figure out how he got in this time. She even went over andchecked the door lock, but John’s fingerprint wasn’t in the system. She clenched her jaw, having notarget to vent her anger. novelbin
Meanwhile, John only reached his car after walking for a while upon leaving. He was now shrewdenough to park a distance away so that Sophia wouldn’t notice his presence. After getting into the car,he looked over at her house, his lips curving into a smile. He honked twice although he didn’t knowwhether she’d hear it. Then, he turned the steering wheel and drove away.
While driving, a call came from Matilda who said that she was outside and wanted to see him. Thinkingthat he was going on a business trip with William soon, he went over after asking her for the location.Instead of waiting in the shop, she stood by the roadside. At the sight of John, she opened the car doorand slipped in. John glanced at her. “Have you eaten?”
“Yeah. I just met up with Belle just now.” Matilda pulled the seatbelt over and fastened it. Upon hearingIsabelle’s name, John instantly went mum. At this, Matilda sighed. “Your scandal is an awful mess now,but I can tell that Belle is saddened as well.” When Isabelle met her earlier, she mentioned the rumorson the Internet and even cried. They hadn’t seen each other for a while now, so Matilda was actually ina good mood when they met this time, but at the mention of the scandal, her mood took a nosedive.
Since John wasn’t saying anything, Matilda continued, “Belle is a nice girl. She even wondered whetheryou’ll be affected by the news. She’s quite worried about you.”
John grunted. “I’m not affected at all. It’s the truth, after all.”
In Matilda’s eyes, John was writing himself off, so she heaved a sigh. “Say, why must you live soabysmally?” I’m sure it’s a piece of cake for him to find a decent girl considering his achievements now.
John didn’t respond, merely driving straight to her place. The two of them exchanged a few wordsthroughout the entire drive, every other word out of Matilda’s mouth revolving around Isabelle. In thebeginning, John said nothing, but later, he seemed to have lost his patience and demanded, “Was itIsabelle who asked you to say all this?”
