Sophia didn’t leave the house for the day, spending the afternoon preparing for her driving test. There
were a lot of questions that she had a hard time understanding, so she took to the Internet for help.
An entire afternoon was spent in the study before she stood to stretch herself. In fact, she did a good
job to upkeep her mentality, so she was now without the chagrin she used to feel.
What happened last night wasn’t a big deal, as she merely slept with someone whom she had slept
with for many times, but ultimately, the number of times she did it was inconsequential.
When it was about time, she went downstairs to cook a meal. The door opened as soon as dinner was
ready, while Sophia could see from the corner of her eyes that John was back. The time of day
indicated that he must have returned from work, but it was in fact rare for him to be this punctual.
He already saw Sophia in the kitchen as soon as he entered, but the sight of her didn’t deter him. After
taking his shoes off, he toured around the living room for a bit before arriving at the kitchen. He was
wearing a calm expression, as well as maintaining his usual tone as he asked, “Do you need help?”
“No, dinner will soon be ready.” She didn’t even look his way while giving her response, but when he
left to wash his hands, she gave a sigh.
To pretend that nothing happened seemed to be the right way to go about things, and Sophia felt like
they had found a middleground to deal with the incident. Neither of them spoke during dinner, which

was how they treated each other on a daily basis, as they never communicated outside of important
matters.
The phone which John left on the table while dining lit up when he was almost finished with his meal.
John cast a glance at it without actively reaching out to read what was on the screen, nor did he say a
word, allowing the screen to dim out again gradually.
It wasn’t until he finished his meal leisurely did he take his phone. “Leave the dishes after you’re done.
I’ll come get them in a bit.”
After that, John went into the yard with his phone in hand to make a call while Sophia watched the back
of his figure in silence. He had one hand shoved in his pocket as he held an upright posture throughout
the call.
Aside from not loving me, John is the perfect man. Sophia sighed as she finished her food. Instead of
waiting for John to clean up, as it was merely a process of putting the dishes away into the dishwasher,
she simply did it herself. It wasn’t something undoable anyway.
After she cleaned up, she went into the living room to see John in the yard while still on the phone call.
Although she used to eavesdrop on him, she lost interest in doing so, thus she left for upstairs upon
glancing at him.
Back in her room where her phone lay, displaying the reading materials pertaining to the driving test,
she didn’t intend on reading them as she spread out on her bed. There was a knock on the door after a
while, which prompted her to sit up hastily. “Come in.”
Instead of coming in, John left a crack open while he stood there looking at Sophia. “I’ll be out, but I
don’t know when I will be back, so remember to lock the doors and windows.”
Sophia cast him a glance. “What for?” His choice of words were already a telltale sign of him not
wanting to reveal anything else, so she nodded after a moment. “Alright, I get it.”
After he left, Sophia got out of the bed to stand by the window, a snort escaping her upon watching his
car driving away from home.
The question back then was entirely unnecessary, as she wasn’t that interested in knowing what he
was up to. She went back to bed only to find herself unable to focus on revising for her test, so she
went downstairs to lock the doors and windows before taking a bath and going to bed.
When he returned was unbeknownst to her, as all she did was take a peek out of the window when she
jolted awake during midnight. The yard was empty, and his car was nowhere in sight, which meant he
hadn’t returned. She couldn’t help but wonder if he still had the strength to have sex with another
woman after last night.
