After putting Logan down with her insult, Sophia reached out for her phone and looked at it. “Alright, it’s about time

for me to go. I still have to accompany John’s grandma to the monastery later.”

Logan disapproved of Sophia’s action and said, “Come on, are you serious about hanging out with his grandma?

You guys are still acting like a married couple. What difference did your divorce make?”

In fact, Logan wasn’t alone because Sophia felt the same way. Something has been wrong with John for the past

two days. Furthermore, it didn’t seem right for him to come over to dine with me like the divorce was for nothing.

No way! This is not who I am, and I must put a stop to this. I used to think there was still a chance for us to work

things out, but now, I’ve changed my mind.

The next moment, Sophia pursed her lips and said, “In that case, I guess I know what to do now.” Then, she flagged

down a cab and told the driver the address of her destination. Although she could have saved the trouble if she had

taken the ride of Old Mrs. Constance’s driver, she insisted on heading to the Constance Residence by herself. Upon

arrival, Sophia didn’t enter the residence but instead waited outside the entrance. It was only when Old Mrs.

Constance’s car came out that she entered it.

As soon as they both saw each other, Old Mrs. Constance excitedly held her hands. “Why didn’t you come inside?

What were you waiting for?”

Sophia looked down and smiled. “Nothing.”

Old Mrs. Constance sighed and said, “I was initially planning to visit the monastery with John, but it looks like he’s

been busy with work recently.”

Oh dear! I hope he doesn’t tag along because I don’t want to see him. Noticing Sophia’s silence, Old Mrs. Constance

didn’t say a single word more.

While the monastery was situated in the mountain, it was still visited by many of its pious devotees, even on

working days. As the car pulled up in the car park at the foot of the mountain, they made their way up the hill.

Fortunately, the path up the mountain was not that steep and that it wasn’t so tiring for the ladies to hike until they

arrived at the monastery, where their arrival was received by a priest.

As the priest recognized Old Mrs. Constance, he immediately led them to the backyard, giving Sophia an indication

that the old lady must be a regular visitor of the place. On the other hand, Sophia had never been to this monastery

before. Listening to the choir, she miraculously felt relieved as it put her mind to ease. Soon, they were greeted by

the High Priest who was waiting for them in the chamber.

In that instant, Sophia felt as if she was a child who hadn’t seen the outside world at all, following suit when Old Mrs.

Constance crossed her arms in front of her chest to greet the High Priest upon seeing him. When the High Priest

noticed Sophia, he smiled and said, “I guess this must be the same lady who came here the last time. Am I right?”

Old Mrs. Constance responded with an affirmative hum.

The High Priest smiled and said, “I can tell from your look that you’re blessed with good fortune.”

Upon hearing that, Sophia wasn’t sure whether the High Priest said that out of courtesy or because he had a keen

foresight. Nonetheless, she only smiled in response while another priest gave them hassocks to kneel on. Then, Old

Mrs. Constance stated her purpose to ask about her grandson’s marriage, and when she said that, her eyes

unknowingly shifted to Sophia.

Meanwhile, Sophia had no idea what she could do except kneeling with Old Mrs. Constance in silence. Soon, the

High Priest began to preach for a bit, which Sophia didn’t bother to understand a single word of. After that, they

stood up and headed to a chamber in the backyard.

When they got there, a wooden box caught Sophia’s eyes as it reminded her of another similar one that she saw at

the Blackwell Residence. Besides, the wooden box with tarot cards seemed to be surrounded by a few priests who

were chanting. Then, the old lady turned around to Sophia and asked, “Why don’t you come and pick one

yourself?”

Sophia chuckled and said, “No thanks. I’m good because I don’t have anything to wish for anyway.”
