Female Novel
Chapter 589
In reality, Sophia couldn’t possibly restrain John with her feeble strength, but John knew that he’dindeed gone a tad overboard, having scared the bejesus out of her this time. Thus, he allowed her freerein though he did raise his arms and shield his head.
Even while she was livid, Sophia didn’t truly intend to beat him up. She merely punched his armincessantly while lambasting him. I almost fainted when I caught sight of someone beside my bed inthe middle of the night! Hitting someone required energy, and swinging one’s arms was extremelytiring, so she was drained in no time.
Chuckling, John raised his hands and grasped her shoulders before moving her off him by exertingslight force. Nonetheless, Sophia continued berating him while sitting on her heels on the bed, saying,“I was too soft-hearted in the past. I really should have lodged a police report against you! JohnConstance, judging from your conduct now, you really need to spend a few days in jail before you learnyour lesson!” As she said this, she looked around in search of her cell phone.
However, John moved swifter than she did, reaching out and grabbing her wrist in one fell swoop. “Youcan lodge a police report later if you wish to do so, but I have a question for you now. I naturally havesome misgivings since I took a flight back all this way. Come on, answer me first.”
Sophia tried pulling her hand back, but when several attempts failed, she simply gave up. She fixed hereyes on him. “Fine. I’m very much interested to know what it is that drove you to do such anunconscionable thing, so spit it out. I’m listening.”
Leaning close to her, John’s expression turned serious in the blink of an eye. “Have you really gottentogether with Ian Morgan?” he asked.
“Yes, that’s right. Hadn’t I told you that I’m dating Ian?” Sophia sneered. novelbin
At this, John drew closer and lowered his voice. “Sophia Gwendolyn, be honest with me. Don’t spoutoff just to piss me off. Are you truly dating Ian Morgan for real?” His voice grew increasingly deep andsoft as he spoke.
Due to the illumination of the bright moonlight and the negligible distance between them, Sophia couldsee his expression clearly. He was exceedingly solemn though one could also say that his gaze wastinged with a hint of affection. For that reason, Sophia suddenly couldn’t bring herself to casually admitsomething that had never happened despite having done so a moment ago. Pursing her lips, shestared at him. In her daze, she even seemed to sense the travel-weary vibes radiating off him.
Lifting a hand, John rested it on her head and stroked her gently. “You’re not, are you?”
“What has it got to do with you?” Sophia countered in a huff.
John chortled. “Of course, it has got something to do with me. As I’ve said, I’ll definitely kill you if youdare get together with someone else. You can only be mine, be it in the past, present, or future.”
“Bullsh*t!” Sophia just couldn’t hold herself back. After cursing him out, she added, “You seem to haveforgotten that we’re divorced. And I don’t quite understand you, Mr. Constance. Are you angling forreconciliation with me now? I remember that you used to turn your nose up at me in the past.”
John’s expression stiffened slightly, and he then sighed. “I was blind in the past. Don’t take offense atme, please?”
I wonder if he’s making himself sound humble on purpose. Feeling a tad discomfited, Sophia inched
back before changing the subject. “This is the last chance I’m giving you, so hurry up and leave. I’ll nolonger show you any mercy if you were to do this again in the future.”
John wasn’t at all intimidated since she was, in fact, a paper tiger. While she seems vicious on thesurface, she’s actually very soft-hearted. Thus, Ian Morgan probably did all those things on stage tocoerce her into accepting him because he knows about her weakness!
