Ian sang another love song after spending some time with Sophia. The volume of the music was so

soft that he was almost singing a cappella. Silence befell the bar all of a sudden, and all of the noise

had died down.

The lights were dimmed while Ian was almost shining as he sat under the spotlight. Sophia rested her

chin on her hands that were in turn rested on the table as she observed Ian intently. When he reached

the middle of his song, he cast a glance at her, and the both of them exchanged a smile while holding

their gazes.

Sophia opened the beer after ordering some side dishes, which, in her opinion, would go well with the

beer. While it was her intention to only drink a little, the beer was so weak that she felt nothing but

bloated after a bottle of it, thus proceeded to open the second bottle.

Some bold audience had the waiter buy some flowers to be given to Ian on stage, throughout which

Sophia watched while smiling like a fool. Such a sight had to be commonplace for Ian as he thanked

that person after stopping the song. He then left the flower on the ground beside him before continuing

with his song.

However, Sophia’s gaze was fixated on the bunch of flowers when she realized she never received a

single bunch of it despite her age. Not only did she never receive flowers, but she also never got to

pursue a romantic relationship, thus never knew of the embarrassment while holding a boy’s hand.

Instead, she stepped into a marriage with John without even getting the chance to hold his hand. While

she used to be shy around him in the beginning, her love was unknown to him, or rather, he knew of

her love but never cared enough to recognize it.

Despite the smile on her face, her heart was feeling numb, but she figured her situation was for the

best now that she was divorced. Although her heart was cold, she had the opportunity then to find

someone who would warm it up again, while John could have fun with Isabelle for all she cared.

Even after the second bottle of beer, her mind was still very much intact. She had the waiter bring two

more bottles, only to have him respond, “Since you’re here with a friend, two bottles might not be

enough, so why don’t I bring you a dozen more? You can ask for a refund for any unfinished beer.”

After checking the items she had on the table, Sophia nodded in agreement. “Sure, why not.” She

wasn’t in dire need of money, so it didn’t matter to her.

The waiter left before coming back deftly with a dozen bottles of beer, then opening two of them for her.

There was a seductiveness in her gaze as she thanked the waiter, to which the latter responded with a

professional smile as he replied, “My pleasure.”

Sophia filled her own glass while listening to the rest of Ian’s song, but a woman approached him

before he was able to leave the stage. It was apparent from her wobbly steps that she was drunk while

she stood before Ian to tell him something. The smile on Ian’s face never faltered throughout the

process.

On the other hand, Sophia nearly lost her cool as she sat crossed-legged on the chair while leaning

against it. Upon closer observation, she figured that a lot of women would like Ian for his handsome

features and nice voice.

His identity wouldn’t have mattered if it was true love, especially when it was never his fault to begin

with. His father was the one who couldn’t restrain himself.

Upon the woman saying something, Sophia could see Ian giving her a smile before pointing at herself,

which led the drunk woman to look toward her when he was talking.

Sophia responded by putting up a tough front, while the drunk woman turned to leave with a sullen

expression after looking at her. It was only then that Ian came over with his guitar in hand.

“What’s up? Is she trying to flirt with you?” Sophia asked after he settled down, to which he gave a hum

in response while placing his guitar on the chair beside him. Curiosity ate at Sophia as she asked,

“What did you tell her at the end? She seemed a little displeased.”

Ian lifted his gaze to look at Sophia as he spoke, “I told her my girlfriend is right over there.”
