He knows that Sophia won’t humiliate him. On second thought, this Ian Morgan is actually very cunningdespite appearing plain and unpretentious. The corners of John’s mouth quirked into a smirk. “Youknow what? I came here as soon as I returned without even going back home, and my luggage is stillin the courtyard. Besides, there’s no taxi at this hour. Don’t tell me you want me to walk home whiledragging my luggage behind me…”
He gave me a pile of drivel, yet it’s all so that I’ll allow him to stay overnight! Hopping mad, Sophiastared at him for a long while before getting out of bed. Opening her room door, she pointed at thecorridor. “Go out. Out!”
This means I can be anywhere as long as it’s not her room! John beamed, his smile tinged with agleam of craftiness. Getting to his feet, he straightened his clothes. “I’ve got to retrieve my luggage firstsince it so happens that I’ve got a change of clothes in there.”
Her temper getting the best of her, Sophia lifted her leg and swung it at John when he exited her room.However, John was rather nimble on his feet, so he dodged it with a simple sidestep. Chuckling, heremarked, “The damsel and the villain…”
In the next moment, Sophia slammed the door shut. Leaning back against the door, the viciousexpression on her face relaxed. She then gave a slight sigh of relief before fisting her hand and hittingher chest. I don’t quite know what I’m feeling at the moment, but it seems that I’m actually not all thatenraged. After a while, she went over to the window and gazed out into the courtyard. The lights wereturned on in the living room downstairs, and John was standing in the courtyard. His luggage wasindeed in the courtyard, right there beside him.
At this time, he lifted his head and looked at her window as though he was certain that she’d definitely
be there. Sophia was taken aback, but she didn’t dodge, merely meeting his gaze with a coldexpression on her face. John, however, flashed her a smile and even waved at her. Then, he went intothe living room with his luggage in hand.
Thereafter, Sophia whirled around and went back to bed, but she didn’t lay down. Instead, she sat onthe bed, hugging her knees. What does John mean by doing this? Is he angling for reconciliation?Could this man have forgotten what he’d done in the past? How could he shamelessly come over nowand claim that I’m his? Pshaw! As she chewed over it, she grew all the more irritated, and she ploppedback in a huff.
She didn’t sleep well the entire night, feeling ill at ease with the sudden presence of another person,perchance because no men had stayed overnight at her house in a long time. She repeatedly joltedawake, perking up her ears to catch any sound coming from outside her room. novelbin
Thus, she woke up early the next morning and went downstairs after hurrying through her ablutions.John was already up, and for the first time in forever, he was in the kitchen, probably preparingbreakfast. Languidly walking over, Sophia stood by the kitchen entrance and scrutinized him.
John was making dumplings, a fairly easy fare to prepare. Turning his head to look at her, he flashedher a smile. “Go and wait in the dining room. It’ll be done in a jiffy.”
Sophia stared at the pot for some time. “Are you sure you can manage?”
At her query, John pointed at his cell phone beside the stove. “I looked it up just now, so it should befine.”
Upon hearing that, Sophia pivoted and went to the dining room. In no time, John was done cooking the
dumplings which he then carried out and served. Subsequently, Sophia started, “John, I think there is acommunication issue between us when it comes to some things. You don’t seem to understand mymeaning.”
John hurriedly insisted, “I do, I do. You don’t need to say anything. I know everything you want to say,so hurry up and eat. You still have to go to the shop after this.” It was clear as day that he didn’t wish tolisten to whatever she wanted to say.
Hence, Sophia pursed her lips and looked at him for a long while before nodding. “Alright, then. It’sgood that you understand.”
