Matilda finished her cup of coffee before standing up. “Alright, your presence sours my mood, so I will be taking my
leave.” Taking her bag with her, she cast a final glance at Sophia before turning to leave.
After Matilda was out of sight, Robin came over to Sophia. “Something about her felt off! Just look at that drastic
change in attitude! Sophia, don’t you feel that she has changed?”
Sophia hummed in the affirmative before smiling. “I bet you saw her expression when I mentioned Isabelle.”
Nodding her head, Robin replied, “You bet I did. However, I don’t get why she would come here.” The Matilda whom
Robin knew would be hurling insults at Sophia upon knowing that John went after her to her hometown, but that
didn’t happen.
Sophia smiled before saying, “Whatever, let’s not dwell on this. She doesn’t deserve our attention anyway.” Sophia
spent the rest of the evening in her shop before hailing a cab home, only to find that there was someone else in the
property. It turned out that John was studying a cookbook in the kitchen intently.
Sophia was taken aback by the sight. If it were her from before, she would’ve made a fuss out of the situation by
reprimanding John for entering her house without her permission. However, not only was she not in the mood to do
so now, but she lacked the energy to do so altogether, which made her feel that her temper had seemed to have
mellowed out. Therefore, she went to stand beside the kitchen entrance. “What are you trying to make?”
Upon turning to see that Sophia was back, John smiled. “First, I will make some soup, but can you take a look at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis? Do I need to fry the fish? I don’t quite get what’s written on here.”
The sight of him in an apron was strange, to say the least. Sophia checked out the cookbook and the ingredients he
had before answering, “Nah, you can work on it right away.”
John thought about it for a moment before telling her, “Okay, you can go back out now. Leave this to me!”
Sophia wasn’t about to fight him over that, as she could hardly stand the greasy smell in the kitchen. Sitting down
on the sofa, she switched on the TV, eventually settling on watching a cartoon after flipping through the channels.
Since she didn’t have a particular preference for TV shows, she decided she should let the child she carried watch
some cartoons.
Meanwhile, sounds of cooking could be heard coming from the kitchen, and the aroma soon filled up the house.
Sophia turned to check on John, but quickly averted her gaze, as the sudden warmth in her heart caught her off
guard. Time passed, but before John was done cooking, her phone rang with a call from Ian, which she quickly
picked up. It had been a while since they last contacted each other.
Ian sounded a little anxious when the call connected. “Sophia, where are you now? Are you at home?”
Humming in the affirmative, Sophia asked, “What’s wrong?”
There was a moment’s pause before Ian said, “Is John in your house?”
Humming once more, Sophia replied, “Yeah.”
The ensuing silence left Sophia feeling a little uneasy, but she wasn’t quite sure why, as it was the first time ever
she experienced such an awkward atmosphere between Ian and her. She figured she should talk about something,
so she asked, “How is the competition going? I had been busy, so I didn’t get to watch you compete. How are you
doing over there?”
However, Ian didn’t seem to want to talk about the competition, as he said, “Logan told me you were in your
hometown during the past few days with John in tow.”
Sophia figured it wasn’t something that she needed to hide, so she admitted it. “Yeah, I went back to my hometown
with John.”
Taking a deep breath, Ian asked, “Are you and John back together?”
Sophia exhaled before answering feebly, “No, we’re not together yet.”
It wasn’t until some moments later that Ian asked, “Are you planning on getting back together with him?”
