When John got back to his car, he took his cigarette pack out.
He wasn’t one with a smoking addiction, but he had been smoking more frequently during this period of time.
At this rate, he was already developing an addiction to smoking.
Still, John pondered for a moment and kept his lighter after taking it out. He merely placed a cigarette near his nose
before smelling it.
The lights in Sophia’s living room are still on.
A few seconds later, John placed the cigarette down before starting his car and left.
However, Sophia was oblivious to all of these. After she hung up on Robin, she got up to close the door.
When Sophia noticed that the gate to her lawn was already closed, she was surprised.
She could recall that the gate was left open when she went to throw the rubbish just now.
After staring at the gate for a while and glancing outside, Sophia didn’t notice anything wrong, so she went back to
her house and locked the door and the windows before going back to her room.
The next few days were extremely productive for Sophia, as she was busy with her driving lesson and shop.
Her shop’s business was way better than back when Robin was working alone, and now they were getting more
takeaway orders.
Logan had been very supportive and would always order from her almost every night.
Great business, smooth days as well as the fact that John hadn’t been coming over to bother her suddenly made

Ian’s talent show trailer had been successful as well.
The show made its release on the Internet, and Sophia had been sitting in front of her laptop on that day itself.
To be honest, Sophia knew that Ian wouldn’t be making his appearance so early in the show, but she still watched it
due to respect, just like how she respected Ian.
Logan, who was watching the show at his clubhouse, also called Sophia as they started discussing the show. Right
then, Sophia’s phone vibrated. Someone was trying to call her through WhatsApp, and upon checking her phone,
she realized that it was a WhatsApp call from Ian.
Since Ian was calling her, she naturally hung up on Logan.
Ian probably just got his phone back, so Sophia quickly accepted the call and asked how he was doing recently.
Without hesitation, Ian replied that he was fine while Sophia informed him that she was watching his show.
At that, Ian sighed in a low, raspy voice. “To be honest, I kind of regretted joining this show. I shouldn’t have come.”
Initially, Sophia thought that Ian was wrongfully treated at the show. However, Ian suddenly lamented, “I haven’t
seen you in such a long time after I left, and I really, really miss you.”
Learning the reason the man regretted joining the show, Sophia was taken aback.
She didn’t know if it was because they talked on the phone, but Ian didn’t sound like he meant it in a friendship kind
of way. Still, if she were to say that he meant it in another way, that would likely be her overthinking.
She just couldn’t help but feel like someone like Ian deserved someone as smart as Isabelle.
Ian’s ideal girl was probably someone who was knowledgeable as well.
Sophia paused before she started laughing. “To be honest, we all really miss you as well! Logan had been nagging
that we don’t even have enough players for a Monopoly match after you left.”
However, Ian only chuckled at that and didn’t say anything else.
Sophia didn’t know why she suddenly felt awkward, so she immediately changed the topic and asked Ian about
what he was doing and practicing there.
Although Sophia didn’t really know what Ian was talking about, he still patiently told her about his entire schedule
for the day.
After talking about nothing for a while, Ian told her that he had to go.
His phone was going to get confiscated again.
Knowing that she needed to hang up soon, she sighed. “Alright. It’s late anyway, and you should sleep early.”
After hanging up, Sophia’s grip on her phone tightened as she frowned and thought to herself, Why did it become
so awkward between me and Ian now? Could it be due to us not contacting each other for a long time?
