Female Novel
Chapter 588
John hadn’t much to do, so he took a shower before lying down on the bed. Then, he took out his cellphone. Recalling that it was the first round of the knockout competition for Ian, he went online and did asearch right away. Oh, how cunning of him! This Ian Morgan is quite crafty in creating opportunities forhimself. He confessed his love some time ago, and now, he has started with public displays ofaffection! Fated Response? What f*cking title is that for a song? I think it’s most fitting for him to usethe name of Sophia’s shop now!
He was initially a tad anxious to return, but after seeing Ian’s competition, he became downrightrestless. After all, he understood Sophia’s temperament. She bumbles around at times, so his ploy thistime is just the perfect strike to her defenses. He isn’t confessing his love and displaying his affectionsprivately, but blatantly before the entire country. Considering her kind-hearted disposition, she probablycan’t bring herself to do anything other than lending him a hand. How could I allow that to happen?
He promptly went online and looked for flight tickets. Phew, there’s another flight tonight! Scramblingout of bed, he packed his luggage before going over to William’s room.
William was taking a nap, but John pounded on his door several times. Frowning, he demanded,“What’s wrong with you?” novelbin
With his suitcase in hand, John declared, “I’ve booked a flight ticket, and I’ll be leaving immediately.Something came up with Sophia.”
Leaning against the door frame, William doubled over with laughter. “See, I just knew that you won’t beable to sit still after I’d said all those things to you.” He then nodded. “Sure, you can go back. There’snothing important here, so I can manage alone.”
John smiled and waved at him before leaving, wheeling his suitcase along.
Meanwhile, Sophia stayed in her shop and worked until late at night. Robin had already left, so shecalculated the profit she’d made since starting the business until now by herself. It’s double myexpectation! Actually, she knew that most of it was from the support of friends, Logan and Johnespecially. Putting the calculator aside, she let out a sigh. I always say that I want to be independent,but in the end, I’m still relying on the people around me. She then dawdled for a while before packingup to leave.
This time, she didn’t hail a taxi but slowly made her way home on foot alone while shouldering abackpack. She’d already blacklisted that woman’s phone number, but still, she felt a touch discomfited.It was as though she had a thorn in the side which she tried to avoid as much as possible. However,this wasn’t a sign that she was on the mend, nor did it signify a full recovery. Rather, she was just lyingto herself that the wound didn’t exist by neither looking at it nor touching it.
It was very late when she arrived home, so she merely cooked some dumplings. Feeling down in thedumps, she wasn’t even in the mood to watch television, so she went for a shower straight away beforegetting into bed. Nevertheless, her sleep was fitful, her dreams bizarre with a messy phantasmagoria.
As a wave of exhaustion swept across her, Sophia’s mind felt fuzzy. Turning over, she then slowlyopened her eyes. The curtains weren’t drawn, so the room was relatively bright from the glow of themoonlight outside the window. Thus, she could clearly see that someone was standing beside the bed.It was such a terrifying occurrence that she even forgot to scream, rendered motionless as thoughshe’d been frozen in time.
Knowing that she was awake, John sighed. “You just won’t listen though I advised you to lock thesliding door to the balcony.”
Sophia slowly sat up, so John came over and sat down on the edge of the bed. “What happened? Inoticed that your sleep seemed rather fitful.”
Sophia stared at him intently. All of a sudden, she sprang up and lunged at him. “Were you trying toscare me to death, John Constance? Let me tell you, I detest people like you! Didn’t you know that youmight have triggered a heart attack?” Pinning him onto the bed, she straddled him and started swingingher arms, raining blows upon him.
