Scoffing, Sophia hoisted herself up before John helped her into the bathroom. As he watched her brush her teeth
from the bathroom door with a gentle smile on his face the whole time, she peered at him from the mirror and
snorted.
The way he looked at it, she didn’t seem angry at all. Instead, she was just playing hard to get. Despite the fact that
she had been rejecting him, her attitude toward him had obviously changed.
Recalling their past, John hugged her from the back and whispered into her ears, “Are you really not considering
marrying me again? I’ll hold an even grander wedding for you.”
However, Sophia didn’t want to hear this and spat, “Buzz off.”
Nibbling at her ear, he said, “There are, in fact, many girls who like me. Don’t you feel threatened at all?”
Sophia dodged him and snorted. “Many girls? Yeah, right, like Isabelle.”
Almost instantly, John froze and the look on his face shifted. Isabelle was a topic that shouldn’t be mentioned.
Sighing in frustration, he said, “There’s really nothing between me and Isabelle. I wasn’t considerate enough in the
past and couldn’t give you a sense of security.” Spinning her around, he met her eyes with an earnest look. “But it
won’t happen again in the future, really.”
Right now, Sophia didn’t believe in these so-called promises as they were utterly meaningless. Shoving him aside,
she snapped, “That’s enough. Actions speak louder than words.”
Just when she came out of the bathroom, Matilda happened to come into the room with breakfast. Originally,

Casting a look at John, Matilda said, “You’ll be having your breakfast downstairs. I’m not serving you.”
Silently, John watched Sophia dig in for a while before going downstairs with Matilda following behind. Tilting his
head to look at her, he told her, “Be careful here at home. I discovered a camera on the door panel. Looks like
someone has been here.”
“Somebody was here?” Matilda gasped in shock. “That person made it into the house?”
He was unsure about that. “That person probably made it to the living room. I’ll get someone to install cameras at
home, and you should keep a lookout on the people who are coming over because I’m afraid someone will sneak in.
We really have to be more cautious about everything now.”
Nodding, Matilda replied hurriedly, “Okay, I got it. These people are really capable, and they even have the nerve to
come into the house!”
After that, John spoke no more.
When Sophia had finished eating and came downstairs with the dishes, John had already left the house and Matilda
was standing at the door, staring intently at the door panel. The door panel was decorated with a retro carving and
the color was a little darker. Hence, most people wouldn’t have realized that a tiny camera was installed in between
the gaps.
Seeing Sophia’s appearance, she beckoned for her to come over. “Take a look here. They could even place a
camera in a place like this. It really makes me wonder what these people are thinking about. Are they monitoring
our lives?”
Even Sophia didn’t know what the other party’s motives were as she stood there and checked the door panel.
“Even you guys have to watch out from now. I think these people are quite daring and we can’t tell what they’ll do
next.”
“Yeah, but don’t worry. With all of us around, we’ll ensure your safety.”
Sophia grinned. Actually, she was not worried about her own safety at all. Perhaps this was because the ignorant
were fearless. In addition, she had never encountered such a situation before, which made her even less afraid.
After staying in her room for a while, she then went to the garden to move her body a little with some light
stretching without making any big movements.
While she was doing her simple exercises, she looked around and remembered that one of the pictures she
received on the previous day was taken when she was in the yard.
That angle…
Slowly, she began to search around. As that picture wasn’t taken from a particularly close distance, she gave a
once-over at the opposite houses and could almost determine the approximate direction after that.
