Blinking at him, she had no intention of going out for a walk.
She had walked a lot that day and wanted to return to her room to rest.
But after looking at Mrs. Constance, who was sitting across from her, she immediately nodded her
head. “Sure! Taking a walk after a meal can help us digest some of this food. It’s good for our bodies.”
Mrs. Constance initially had a glum expression on her face but not anymore.
She pulled a long face and was a bit unsatisfied.
Nonetheless, her misery was Sophia’s delight.
John walked out of the dining room first with Sophia following behind him.
The two of them made their way to the garden.
His strides were rather big, making it hard for her to keep up.
When she could not keep up any longer, she called out, “Hey, did you come out for a walk or for race-
walking.”
He stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at her. “Why are you so short? Does it make it more
convenient to pick up money?”
She was surprised.
He was a man of few words and was not usually sarcastic.
Even when he talked, it was about more serious topics.
He never teased her so blatantly before.

Looking at him, she even jumped up a bit. “Why are you so tall? Does it make it easier to build a
shed?”
John was indeed very tall. He looked neat and put together.
In addition to his impressive looks, it was no wonder she fell for him.
She was someone who had not seen much of the world yet, so it was only normal for her to be drawn
to him when he was so handsome.
He lowered his gaze at her. Her dress is already short, but she’s still jumping. Is she trying to expose
herself to the whole world? He raised his hands and pushed her shoulders down. “Stand properly.”
She looked up at him without knowing what was going on.
When their eyes met, something did not feel quite right.
Was it because they went overboard with some of the things they did after their divorce? It somehow
felt rather awkward.
She licked her lips and tried to find something to say. “Uh, where do you want to go? I went to the
bamboo forest in the backyard the other day. It was pretty nice.”
He immediately knew what she was talking about. “That night?”
It was the night when she wandered out and only came back when it got dark.
She nodded. “Yeah. The Constance Residence looks huge when you see it from the bamboo forest at
night.”
However, another thing caught his attention. “You were in the bamboo forest by yourself that late at
night? You really have no fear.”
That bamboo forest was no longer within the Constance Residence’s vicinity so anyone could go in
there.
It was located in a hilly area. Even so, she was not afraid of bumping into a bad person.
She chuckled. “I met Dylan that day. We went in there together.”
John paused for a moment before letting out a smile. “It’s Dylan again.” As though he thought of
something, he suddenly said with a bit of ridicule in his voice, “If only I had known. What was he
thinking at the time?”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
He turned and entered the garden. “Nothing. I don’t care what you do in the future, but for now, stay
further away from Dylan.”
She scowled at him then followed him in. “I know. Are you getting old? You’re getting long-winded.”
John sat on the bench and looked at her. “Am I old?”
He was five years older than her.
She took a seat on a rattan chair nearby. “Why? Does that make you uncomfortable?” Chuckling, she
went on, “You’re an old cow nibbling on young grass like me. What do you feel uncomfortable about?”
Somehow that did not sound quite right either.
Was she not over that previous incident yet? She suddenly thought of what happened in bed last time.
At the time, he was quite aggressive with her.
When she looked in the mirror during her shower, all the marks on her body made it seem like she was
being abused.
Meanwhile, John also felt like something was not quite right but he could not tell what it was exactly.
In the end, they ran out of conversation again and just sat in silence.
