The gist of Isabelle’s text was that she felt awkward and embarrassed by Matilda’s plan, which she was totally

unaware of. So, she was apologizing to John for troubling him.

She had bombarded him with a slew of texts, from which he could tell that she was feeling anxious. Even after

staring at the texts for an extended time, he did not reply in the end. Instead, he turned off his phone and the

bedside lamp.

On the other side, Isabelle clutched her phone and waited for some time, but she did not receive any reply from

John. This must have meant that he would not reply to her. She wondered if it was because he didn’t read her texts

at all, or if he had purposely ignored her after reading the texts.

Feeling antsy, she held her phone and paced around her room a few times. Just now, Matilda called and said that

she had reprimanded John for his attitude. Matilda explained that John left because he was worried of being seen

dining with other women, which might cause some gossip.

It was a plausible explanation. Lately, John and Isabelle were captured on camera by nosy people a few times.

Thankfully, they were captured when they were at work, so they had assistants around. When the photos spreaded

online, the media reported that the two of them were business partners, so there wasn’t any nasty gossip. With

that, previous rumors about John and Isabelle were dispelled and speculations on their relationship were slowly

clearing up.

Right now, if someone were to discover any slightly suspicious ‘private dates’, it would negatively affect both John

and Isabelle. Anyway, Isabelle couldn’t keep a distance from John forever for fear of creating any scandal; she no

longer had the patience to keep waiting.

When she was in a few business talks with John before this, she noticed that John had taken out his phone and

clicked into Facebook. She could clearly see Sophia’s selfie on his screen.

It was obvious that John still missed Sophia. Isabelle thought that if she remained passive, she might end up losing

him like before.

She could only tolerate losing him for once, for she had no desire, nor the mental fortitude, to go through the same

ordeal twice.

In the span of John and Sophia’s one-year marriage, Isabelle’s daily life was hellish. Now, she finally waited until the

day of their divorce, an opportunity that she would not pass on anymore.

After some rumination, she made a call to Matilda, and the latter instantly picked up. “Belle!”

Isabelle let out a sigh. “Mrs. Constance, I have something to discuss with you.” Of course, Matilda agreed to it and

was very receptive to Isabelle’s ideas.

Meanwhile, John was in the dark about the plan between Matilda and Isabelle. The next morning at breakfast, he

heard Old Mrs. Constance bringing up the topic of the monastery visit, to which he suggested once more, “I’m

serious. You should try inviting Sophia to go with you. Let’s see if she’d say yes. Just try. What if she agrees to it?”

The old lady chuckled. “Alright, I’ll ask her. Even if she says no, I will pester her until she agrees.”

Upon hearing that, John smiled. “I didn’t mean anything. I was just suggesting that you invite her.”

After the two had breakfast together, John went to work and Old Mrs. Constance immediately made a call to

Sophia.

Sophia went to the store early in the morning and was busy with work. When she received the call, she felt a little

reluctant to pick up.

Whenever Old Mrs. Constance called her, Sophia would feel restless and anxious. After all, Old Mrs. Constance was

John’s grandmother. Sophia felt that if she got in touch with the old lady, she would end up meeting John sooner or

later.

Well, even if she didn’t get in touch with Old Mrs. Constance, she would still run into John somehow, but the feeling

was different.

Sophia stared at the phone for a long time before picking up the call reluctantly. “Madam.”

Old Mrs. Constance sighed wistfully. “I prefer to be called ‘Grandma’.”

Sophia did not know what to reply to that. Sensing the silence, Old Mrs. Constance directly told her, “I want to pray
