Besides, if she agreed with John’s plans to take the villagers with them, she would have a hard time parting ways

with John. Since the villagers assumed that they were married as they knew nothing of their long-standing feud,

Sophia understood herself well enough to know that she might continue to associate herself with John to some

extent in order to cover up the lie.

 

Glancing at Sophia, John said, “Why don’t you give it some thought? My opinion is that the young men wouldn’t be

making anything of themselves if they were to spend their whole lives in the village, so they should venture out.”

It wasn’t until a while later that Sophia gave her reply. “Let me think about this. But I have to say, they might not

want to leave. Maybe they like the lifestyle here.”

John didn’t press on. “Think about it. If you think my suggestion sounds good, you should ask them.”

Letting out a grunt, Sophia said nothing else. Both of them walked on hand-in-hand, each in their own minds, but it

was still a sight to behold for the villagers. Coming out to put some trash away, a villager made fun of Sophia as

soon as he saw her. “Sophia, when are you planning on having a child? You two seem to get along well, so it’s about

time you get one.”

Sophia wasn’t sure how to answer that, so John replied flatteringly, “We are getting to it. We might have one after

today.”

The man exclaimed, “Yeah, I suppose it’s time. You should give birth to a few more children when you’re still young

so that you can raise them together. Isn’t that nice?”

Upon hearing what he said, Sophia’s smile froze on her face. She already felt like a goner despite being still in the

beginning stages of her pregnancy, so she couldn’t imagine going through the process a couple more times. When

they arrived at home, John had Sophia get some rest while he started cooking.

 

Standing by the door of her room, Sophia observed him as he worked clumsily. It would be a lie to say that she

wasn’t touched at all. In fact, she was shocked that he came all the way to find her. She knew full well how remote

her village was, so it must have taken a lot for John to find her on his own.

The sun was setting when the families began cooking, and Sophia left the house after looking around her. All of the

houses had their own vegetable garden that they cultivated on their own. She asked around for some veggies, and

she was given loads of them to be brought home, as the veggies weren’t worth much in a village such as theirs, so

nobody would be stingy with their veggies.

Upon arriving home with the veggies, John took them from her before washing them by the well in the yard. At first

glance, he sure seemed like he knew what he was doing. Later on, Sophia left for the store to buy some rice that

was being sold in small amounts. She then had John step aside before she began cooking, which she made quick

work of while suppressing the nausea triggered by the smoke.

 

Coming from behind, John hugged her while saying, “I missed you a lot during your absence.”

Her movements came to a halt. While she didn’t struggle to break free from his hold, she questioned, “Do you miss

me because you can’t get me to return to you now, John?”

Startled, John clicked his tongue in dismay, but he soothed himself before replying in a gentle tone, “Must you

interpret my care toward you as something despicable, a means to an end? Can’t I be nice to you simply because I

want to, or simply because I love you and I miss you?”

Lowering her gaze, Sophia questioned, “Why do you love me now? Throughout our one-year marriage, you only

ever showed me disdain, so why would you say that love me now that we’re divorced?”

To be honest, John had no answer to that. In fact, he didn’t think that anybody would have an answer when it came

to romance. Silently, he held onto her stubbornly. After mulling over the situation, Sophia told him, “Alright, it’s time

for our meal, so let’s tidy up the table.”

Meanwhile, John still had a lot of items in the trunk of his car, so he went to fish out some milk and canned fruits.
