When William spoke to John a moment ago, he seemed to be sending him a warning with his expression. John quickly realized that it was negligence on his own side.

Until William’s car was out of sight from the rearview mirror, John retracted his gaze. Inebriated, he leaned against the seat and closed his eyes, slowly dozing off.

When he had reached Constance Residence, the chauffeur called out to John to awaken him.

Getting out of the car, John leaned against the car for a while to sober up. Then, he slowly walked into the main building and told the cook to get him a hangover tonic.

When the tonic was ready, William returned home. Although William had consumed lots of alcohol as well, he appeared to be more clear-headed than this son. Upon entering

the house, he directly took a seat opposite John.

Since his wife was asleep, William questioned in a lowered voice, “Have you figured it out?”

Resting on the couch, John was on the verge of falling asleep. When he heard that, he frowned. “What?”

Helplessly, William asked, “Don’t you understand that you were almost taken advantage of?”

The question made John scowl.

William smiled. “Sober up and think about it. It seems that you’re really intoxicated since you can’t even see through it.”

John slumped onto the couch. Maybe I really am drunk.

His mood seemed to have played a part as well. It wasn’t his first time drinking so heavily, but he had never been so wasted before.

After a while, he finished the hangover tonic and went upstairs. With his eyes half open, he fumbled along the corridor and reached his room. Following that, he turned the

doorknob and walked in.

For an instant, he felt that the room was a little different. Without turning on the light, he reached for his bed with the help of the moonlight.

Plunging into the bed, he kicked away his shoes, took out his phone from his pocket and tossed it aside. Then, he pulled the quilt closer and mumbled, “Sophia, you’re such a

heartless woman.”

Even in his dazed state, he still complained about Sophia.

On the other side, Sophia was sorting the data on her computer in the study. Since her shop would be ready to open in a few days, she and Robin had been burning the

midnight oil. More importantly, there were many things that she had to learn.

When Sophia was done with it, she turned off the computer. Just then, her phone started ringing; it was a call from Ian. When the call was connected, Ian said in an excited

voice, “Sophia, do you want to have supper with me?”

Sophia took a look at the time and realized that it was late. Still, she was surprised that Ian was looking for her at such an hour. “You sound happy. What happened?”

Ian gave an affirmative grunt and explained, “Yes, I’m really excited. I met up with Lorraine Jefferson and discussed the talent show with her. I want to see you now.”

Then, Sophia asked where he was, and he said that he was on the way to her house. After giving it a thought, she inquired, “Why don’t you get takeaway for the supper and

have it at my place?” Since she was done washing up and getting changed, she didn’t want to step out of the house anymore.

Without hesitation, Ian agreed to it and hung up the call.

A short while later, Ian arrived at her home with barbecued food and bottles of beer.

Sophia had been waiting for him at the entrance. Seeing him, she looked behind him and questioned, “Why isn’t Logan with you?”

Ian answered, “I didn’t call him. If he came as well, we would have a restless night. It’ll only be the two of us tonight.”

After pondering on it for a while, Sophia found him sensible, so she nodded. “Alright, don’t call him.”

Barbecued food matched perfectly with beer. Since Sophia had had her dinner, she wasn’t hungry at all. However, the story of Ian’s discussion with Lorraine on the talent
