Female Novel
Chapter 639
However, Sophia had had enough of the Constances. Although Belinda was nice to her, memories ofthe awful year she spent in the Constance Residence was unbearable. It was the major reason thatshe didn’t want to remarry John, as she didn’t want to go through that kind of life ever again. Besides,neither did she want the presence of a child to be a dictating factor to their marriage. Staring at Fabian,she asked, “Now that you know the truth, will you be tipping John off?”
With a smile, Fabian told her, “I don’t think I should be meddling in you and John’s business, so youshould make your own choices. I won’t be tattling to anybody.” Sophia was feeling reassured by hispromise. However, he added, “Pregnancy will be happening across a long time, so you won’t be able tokeep this a secret when your belly gets bigger and bigger in the later stages.”
Sophia had a similar concern, which was why she returned to her village to pay her respects to her lategrandfather in the first place, as she figured she could use it as an opportunity to settle down there.However, not only did John find her, but Walter went after her as well, which meant that the village wasno longer a safe haven for her.
Upon noticing Sophia’s silence, Fabian chuckled. “It’s okay. Let’s just go with the flow. Who knows; youmight change your mind in a few days and end up sharing your good news with John, so let’s leave itas it is for now.”
With her lips pulled into a thin line, Sophia said nothing. When they reached Sophia’s shop, Fabianparked the car in front of the door. As soon as she got out of the car, she could see Robin and onemore person in the shop. After bidding Fabian goodbye, she entered the shop.
Robin stood behind the counter, whereas a man was standing in front of it. Upon laying eyes on him,Sophia recognized him as the man in the photo that Robin showed her. It seemed that they kept in
touch after their blind date, which meant that both of them agreed to give the relationship a go.
When she saw Sophia coming into the shop, Robin was startled, but she quickly greeted her with asmile. “Sophia, I didn’t know you’re back!”
Sophia chuckled before replying, “I came back today, so I decided to come visit.” Feigning ignorance,Sophia went on to ask, “I suppose he is your friend?”
To that question, Robin said, “Oh, yeah, he is my friend. He decided to have a look since he waspassing by.”
Sophia nodded to the man as a greeting. However, he seemed a bit shy, as he excused himself soonafter. It wasn’t until the man was far away from them that Sophia turned her attention to Robin. “Sodoes this mean you’ve decided to start a relationship with him?”
Robin nodded after giving it some thought. “Yeah, I plan on dating him, since he seems like a nice guy.Although he isn’t the most handsome man on earth, neither am I much better than him, so I figured Ishouldn’t be overly demanding. Therefore, I decided to check on our compatibility by dating him first.”
Letting out a grunt, Sophia leaned against the counter while observing Robin. “To be honest, I used toassume that you have someone you like, so I never expected you to go on a blind date.” novelbin
Upon hearing what Sophia said, Robin’s expression grew a little awkward. While she did havesomeone she liked, her love was unrequited. Not only did she get the wrong idea about the man, butshe nearly became a third-wheel in a relationship. Those recollections left Robin feeling slightlydejected while she explained, “I used to think so as well, but upon more self-reflection, I suppose what Ifell for were his assets instead of his person. He was handsome, but aside from that, I didn’t know
much about him, which showed how shallow my feelings were.”
Lowering her gaze, Robin continued, “Besides, he didn’t like me, so my love for him only left me feelinghurt. If I can’t be happy while in love, I don’t think I should be carrying on with the relationship.”
Sophia cast her a glance before heaving a sigh. “So you were hurt in the past.”
