Laughing out loud, Matilda teased, “What a lousy excuse! You can just tell Sophia that you missed her. Why are you

being this shy?”

Chuckling, John said, “Actually, I thought she knew.”

Without uttering a word, Sophia continued with her meal.

In the midst of lunch, John received a call. Previously, he had sent his subordinates a phone number, asking them to

do a thorough background check on the person.

As of now, they finally had some new findings.

Upon thinking about it, John walked out of the dining room.

Surprised, Matilda grumbled, “Is it even necessary to go out and answer the call? This fella, is he hiding

something?”

With a snort, Sophia sneered, “He’s probably chatting with some lady and is afraid that we will overhear it.”

Glancing at Sophia, Matilda was speechless, but played along by nodding her head. “You’re probably right! That lady

might be pregnant with his son, too. I’ll drill him later! That scumbag, don’t even think of giving him a second

chance!”

After a while, Sophia smiled.

Meanwhile, John was listening to his subordinates’ report.

That phone number belonged to a housewife, and due to the fact that she wasn’t from this city, it took a while for

them to track her down.

For the purpose of gathering more information, they deliberately paid a visit to the place she stayed to understand

the person better.

They even sent a picture of the woman to John.

Beside that, they mentioned that the woman lived together with her husband and daughter. Living at the borders

between the city and countryside, their family conditions weren’t too well off.

According to one of their neighbors, their family wasn’t that harmonious, as they could often hear them quarreling

every other day.

Then again, their neighbor was surprised to find out that these days, the whole family had turned all happy and

harmonious, as if something good had happened.

Without knowing her actual identity, his subordinates were only doing what they could to investigate her current

situation, but her background was still unknown. After all, they were only given a short period of time.

Apparently, this marriage was her second marriage. Without any friends and relatives, she came to live in this place

all by herself. Hence, his subordinates had yet to investigate her background and where she was originally from. If

John was not in a hurry, they would continue to do a thorough background check on her.

Frankly, John wasn’t too curious about what had happened to the woman in the past, so he rejected the offer and

said, “This information is sufficient.”

After giving orders to his subordinates to return and pull out from the investigation, John hung up the phone.

Taking a good look at the photo which was captured furtively, John noticed that the woman was doing grocery

shopping.

From the photo, she looked ordinary and overall carefree.

Perhaps he was warped by his selfish motives, but John enlarged the photo and felt that the woman didn’t quite

look like Sophia.

Putting them together, it would be absurd to believe that they were blood-related.

After thinking it through, John deleted the picture and just stood there, holding his phone in his hands.

Once Sophia was done gobbling up her meal, she walked out of the dining room.

Standing in the living room, she gazed at John. The man was no longer talking on the phone but was seen standing

there, contemplating something unbeknownst to her.

Walking toward him, Sophia stood right next to John. “What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to finish up your meal?”

Turning around to glance at Sophia, John opened his arms to embrace her. “You’re done already? That’s quick.”

Trying to release herself, Sophia nodded. “Not really. It’s just that you took longer than usual to finish your call.”

Pausing for a moment, she continued, “What’s wrong? Who’s that on the phone? You don’t look good.”

Smiling, John joked, “Really? I thought I looked good. Anyway, it was nothing.”
