Upon pondering for a while, Sophia replied, “Yes, I’m going to the shop tomorrow. I’ll call Robin and tell
her to come with me to see how the shop can be improved further since she has prior experience in
doing this.”
As Zack agreed, they ended the conversation.
After washing up, Sophia lay down on the bed.
Having walked around for the entire day, she was so tired that her body couldn’t take it anymore.
It required energy to go shopping.
Not long after she got into the bed, she slumbered off to the slumberland.
However, she awakened in the middle of the night as she was thirsty. Perhaps the meal she had had
earlier was too salty.
After touching the bedside table for a while, she recalled that there was no water on it.
It was a torment to get out of bed and go downstairs in the middle of the night.
Squinting her eyes, she walked out of the room and saw that there was some light at the staircase.
The lights in the living room had been turned on.
She remembered that the lights downstairs were turned off when she went up the stairs.
Unafraid, she walked over and leaned on the railing to take a look.
John was seated on the couch.

Frankly speaking, Sophia didn’t want to meet him face-to-face at that moment because she was still
angry with what he had said to her that evening.
Nevertheless, she was unbearably thirsty.
Her rational mind told her that she would need to go downstairs.
John noticed her right as she stepped on the stairs.
Upon taking a look at her, he immediately retracted his gaze.
Without looking at him, Sophia directly went to the kitchen and took a battle of mineral water before
going upstairs again.
Upon entering her room, she closed the door and leaned on it.
At that moment, she was no longer sleepy. John is acting weirdly today. What is he trying to do by
staying downstairs quietly?
After drinking the water, she took a seat on the bed. Then, she picked up her phone and realized that it
was already the latter half of the night.
Did John wake up from a sleep? There’s no holiday tomorrow. Why is he not asleep at midnight? Is he
not going to work tomorrow?
There was no way she could figure out the reason.
Walking over, she opened a small gap at the door and peeked out. John hadn’t come upstairs yet.
It took twenty minutes for her to hear some noise from downstairs. To be precise, the noise came from
the garden, so she quickly walked up to the windows and gazed out at the garden.
John had started the engine. Why is he going out at midnight?
Sophia couldn’t help cursing him as he must be going to have a drink at this time. Worse, he might be
accompanied by some women.
Just then, John’s car directly moved out of the house and disappeared into the distance.
Resentful, Sophia slumped into her bed and covered herself with the quilt so that she could fall asleep
quickly.
The problem couldn’t be solved even if she never slept.
However, even if she had fallen asleep, her worries continued to bug her in her dream.
She dreamed of John and Isabelle. He had gone to look for her unashamedly as they had a romantic
date under the moonlight.
If she could control her dream, she would have pounced on them and beat them up.
In the dream, John was very gentle to Isabelle—a side he had never shown Sophia before.
Nevertheless, Sophia wasn’t upset at all as she had prepared herself psychologically to face this kind
of situation.
At that moment, she just wanted to give John a piece of her mind.
After all, they still pretended to be married in public. While she was restrained, John was shamelessly
dating another woman.
