Female Novel
Chapter 642
Matilda finished her cup of coffee before standing up. “Alright, your presence sours my mood, so I willbe taking my leave.” Taking her bag with her, she cast a final glance at Sophia before turning to leave.
After Matilda was out of sight, Robin came over to Sophia. “Something about her felt off! Just look atthat drastic change in attitude! Sophia, don’t you feel that she has changed?” novelbin
Sophia hummed in the affirmative before smiling. “I bet you saw her expression when I mentionedIsabelle.”
Nodding her head, Robin replied, “You bet I did. However, I don’t get why she would come here.” TheMatilda whom Robin knew would be hurling insults at Sophia upon knowing that John went after her toher hometown, but that didn’t happen.
Sophia smiled before saying, “Whatever, let’s not dwell on this. She doesn’t deserve our attentionanyway.” Sophia spent the rest of the evening in her shop before hailing a cab home, only to find thatthere was someone else in the property. It turned out that John was studying a cookbook in the kitchenintently.
Sophia was taken aback by the sight. If it were her from before, she would've made a fuss out of thesituation by reprimanding John for entering her house without her permission. However, not only wasshe not in the mood to do so now, but she lacked the energy to do so altogether, which made her feelthat her temper had seemed to have mellowed out. Therefore, she went to stand beside the kitchenentrance. “What are you trying to make?”
Upon turning to see that Sophia was back, John smiled. “First, I will make some soup, but can you take
a look at this? Do I need to fry the fish? I don’t quite get what’s written on here.”
The sight of him in an apron was strange, to say the least. Sophia checked out the cookbook and theingredients he had before answering, “Nah, you can work on it right away.”
John thought about it for a moment before telling her, “Okay, you can go back out now. Leave this tome!”
Sophia wasn’t about to fight him over that, as she could hardly stand the greasy smell in the kitchen.Sitting down on the sofa, she switched on the TV, eventually settling on watching a cartoon afterflipping through the channels. Since she didn’t have a particular preference for TV shows, she decidedshe should let the child she carried watch some cartoons.
Meanwhile, sounds of cooking could be heard coming from the kitchen, and the aroma soon filled upthe house. Sophia turned to check on John, but quickly averted her gaze, as the sudden warmth in herheart caught her off guard. Time passed, but before John was done cooking, her phone rang with a callfrom Ian, which she quickly picked up. It had been a while since they last contacted each other.
Ian sounded a little anxious when the call connected. “Sophia, where are you now? Are you at home?”
Humming in the affirmative, Sophia asked, “What’s wrong?”
There was a moment’s pause before Ian said, “Is John in your house?”
Humming once more, Sophia replied, “Yeah.”
The ensuing silence left Sophia feeling a little uneasy, but she wasn’t quite sure why, as it was the first
time ever she experienced such an awkward atmosphere between Ian and her. She figured she shouldtalk about something, so she asked, “How is the competition going? I had been busy, so I didn’t get towatch you compete. How are you doing over there?”
However, Ian didn’t seem to want to talk about the competition, as he said, “Logan told me you were inyour hometown during the past few days with John in tow.”
Sophia figured it wasn’t something that she needed to hide, so she admitted it. “Yeah, I went back tomy hometown with John.”
Taking a deep breath, Ian asked, “Are you and John back together?”
Sophia exhaled before answering feebly, “No, we’re not together yet.”
It wasn’t until some moments later that Ian asked, “Are you planning on getting back together withhim?”
