“Mm,” she responded through pursed lips, then waited until he was back in his room before closing the

door.

She leaned against the door. Why is my face burning up?

After taking a few deep breaths, she went into the bathroom.

Once she was done with her shower, she had settled down quite a bit.

She lay down in bed and tried not to let her mind wander.

A man and a woman alone together, not to mention the fact that they used to have an intimate

relationship. There was bound to be a surge of emotions.

John doesn’t like it when I do those things. At the thought of that, her heart slowly calmed down.

It was very effective.

She flipped over and looked out the window.

One good thing about living in the hills was that she did not have to worry about people peeping in

even when she did not draw the curtains before going to sleep at night.

From where she was, she could see the stars.

She had only seen them previously when she lived in her small village.

After a while, sleep finally started to overcome her.

She let out a sigh then slowly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, John also went into the bathroom and took a cold shower to calm himself down.

He knew for sure that he did not like Sophia, but he still felt something whenever he saw her.

That was what he was fretting over.

He was so familiar with her body that he could imagine what she looked like under that thin fabric.

Laying back down in bed, he covered himself with the blanket and did his best to calm down.

He wondered if putting her in the room right next to his was a good idea.

It somehow felt like it was just giving him more trouble.

He tossed and turned in bed for a long time before finally falling asleep, but he was unable to sleep well

that night.

He dreamed of a lot of things and they all had to do with things they did in bed.

Sophia looked distressed every time from being tormented by him.

Whenever she did not speak up despite being in distress, it frustrated him and made him want to

torment her even more.

Those were the kind of dreams he had throughout the night.

When he woke up in the morning, he felt like he had not slept a wink.

He was exhausted.

Getting up, he washed up and left his room. At the same time, Sophia also came out of her room.

She was wearing a floral dress today—one that she had worn in Tri Asel before.

It did not look classy but it was refreshing.

She seemed to have forgotten about the awkward tension from the night before and smiled

immediately when she saw him. “Did you sneak out last night? Look at you. Your dark circles are so

obvious.”

He touched his eyes. “Really?”

She giggled. “I lied.”

Stepping ahead of him, she headed downstairs with him following from behind.

Mrs. Constance did not go down for breakfast today.

Sophia figured she probably did not want to see her.

That worked out well because Sophia did not want to see that fox of a woman either.

Old Mrs. Constance had eaten her breakfast. She usually woke up early and ate in her room before

going out.

Thus, Sophia and John were the only ones in the dining room now.

Even though there were not a lot of people eating, there was a wide array of food on the table.

John liked a Western-style breakfast, so they prepared bread, milk, and eggs for him.

Sophia sat with one leg folded on the chair and reached for a flat cake. She still preferred a Chinese-

style breakfast.

Grabbing some salted vegetables from the side, she wrapped them in the flat cake and ate it with

porridge.

It did not taste too bad.

John smirked when he glanced at her then continued eating his food.

She was thin, but she had a big appetite and ate quite a lot.

After a flat cake and a bowl of porridge, she went on to eat two eggs and several pieces of ham.

She also ate some of the fruits in the fruit platter.

Looking at her, he felt like his own appetite was getting better.

Once they were done eating, she went to wash her hands, then followed him out to the parking lot

while humming a song.

As they got in the car, she said, “I’m not going to your company today. You can just drop me off

anywhere in the city.”

However, he just drove without saying anything.

During the car ride, she kept talking about her dreams. She wanted to open a dessert shop where she

could work when there were customers and just sit around when there were none. She wanted to wake

up at her own time every morning and count her money until her wrists cramped up.

John was skeptical. Has she not woken up yet?

His car arrived at the city center. “Do you want me to stop at the junction over there?”
