Female Novel
Chapter 604
John sighed. “Perhaps she’s been too stressed, so she’s overly tired these days. As she’s thin in thefirst place, her body can’t take it in the long run even though there’s no major problem with her health.”
Logan gave him a thoughtful look. “She’s indeed very thin, so she really needs some nourishment.”After saying that, he added, “You’ve been here the whole time?”
Nodding, John leaned back against the sofa. “I was worried about her.”
Logan was slightly relieved to hear that he’d stayed, but recalling Ian, he then felt that it seemed ratherinappropriate. Thus, he stared at John for a long while before asking hesitantly, “Isn’t your life affectedwhen you take care of Sophia so much?”
John guffawed at the subtlety of the question. “How would it be affected? I’m single, and so is she. Theonly thing that might happen is rumors floating around. What else could there be?” Without waiting forhim to respond, he instantly added, “Besides, we were once husband and wife, so we have a strongemotional foundation. Even if something does happen, it’s only natural.”
Standing at the landing on the second floor, Sophia was gripped by the urge to rebuff him upon hearinghis shameless remark. A strong emotional foundation? How brazen of him to say that! Has he forgottenhow he treated me in the past?
Robin was the first to notice her, so she sprang to her feet. “Sophia.”
This time, Sophia had gotten her fill of sleep. She then descended the stairs. “You’re all here?”
Robin pursed her lips. “How are you feeling? Are you not feeling well?”
After a moment’s contemplation, Sophia answered, “I’m okay. I’m feeling much better now.”
Logan walked over and touched her forehead. “You must voice it out immediately if you’re not feelingwell. You can’t dawdle when it comes to your health.”
Murmuring her assent, Sophia glanced at John out of the corner of her eye, recalling the medical reportshe saw earlier. All at once, she was at a loss for words. novelbin
John looked around at everyone. “How about you all stay for dinner? It’ll be a lively affair.”
Naturally ecstatic, Logan promptly agreed, “Sure! I love lively affairs! I’ll go for groceries. Shall we havesteamboat tonight? What do you all think?”
Sophia nodded. “Sure.” At the mention of ‘steamboat’, it was as though she could already smell itsfragrant aroma, and she started salivating.
Subsequently, Robin concurred as well.
However, there weren’t many groceries left at home, so Sophia suggested, “I’ll go and buy somegroceries from the supermarket. You guys wait at home.”
“I’ll go with you,” John instantly blurted.
Thus, Robin parroted, “I’ll go as well.”
Logan definitely couldn’t stand waiting here alone, so he declared, “Then, I’ll go as well. Since you’re all
going, I certainly can’t stay here alone.”
Therefore, it was decided that the four of them would all be going. After Sophia had changed hershoes, they then set out. The supermarket was only a stone’s throw away, so they went on foot.
John walked beside Sophia. “Are you cold?”
Sophia gaped at him as though he had lost his mind. Who would be cold on such a warm day?
Ignoring her reaction, he moved closer and grasped her hand. “Let me see. Hey, why is your hand socold? Here, I’ll warm it for you.”
Sophia arched an eyebrow. “Can you please have some self-respect?”
At this, John outright laughed. “What self-respect? I’ve long since abandoned all self-respect beforeyou.” Since his answer was starkly unabashed, Sophia had no words to refute him.
As Robin took in their interaction at the side, her gaze grew increasingly dim.
Logan, on the other hand, tutted. “What are you two doing? Let go, let go. We both have eyes on youhere.”
John didn’t care a whit whether someone else was watching. Instead, he tightened his hold on Sophia’shand. “Her hand is too cold, so I’m warming it up. What’s there to see? What’s so interesting?”
