An apology actually made no difference at this time, and Sophia didn’t think the singer had anything to
apologize for either. She glanced out the window for a moment, the issue with John slipping her mind
entirely. “What’s your name? I’ve never asked you this,” she asked in a low voice.
Looking at her, the singer chuckled. “Ian Morgan.”
“Ian Morgan,” Sophia repeated. “It sounds pretty nice.” At this, she lowered her voice again. “Was the
woman earlier your mother?”
Ian’s expression froze. “No.”
Sophia chortled. “I thought so. While I didn’t see her entire face, I think you two look different.”
Having thought of something, Ian sneered, “We’re not at all alike.”
As the car drove away from the airport, it headed straight toward the city center. Finally, it came to a
stop outside a villa. The villa was massive, so it was apparent that someone who had the wherewithal
to purchase such a huge villa here despite the exorbitant price of land had a powerful family
background.
Sophia alighted from the car with Ian. Behind them, that woman’s car also came to a stop. Standing
beside the car, Sophia lowered her head and glanced at her cell phone. Zack is calling again. All of a
sudden, she recalled the fact that John was still facing a problem. Nevertheless, I don’t think he needs
me to help him out with the problem. I’m sure he can resolve such a fictitious matter.

Putting down the phone, she twisted her head and stared at the woman who was approaching from
behind. The woman put on airs and glanced at her when she walked past. Although the woman was
wearing sunglasses, she could sense the disdain on her face when looking at her. All at once,
indignation flooded Sophia, and she harrumphed loudly when the woman passed her by.
Stilling, the woman’s head snapped back at Sophia, but Sophia didn’t even spare her a glance, keeping
her gaze on Ian instead. “Is this your house?”
Ian pursed his lips, seemingly deliberating for a moment before nodding. “Yeah.” His hesitation had
Sophia feeling a tad surprised. After shouldering the guitar, Ian circled the car and came to stand
beside her. “Let’s go.”
Sophia actually had no idea why she followed him here. She felt that she should take her leave and
only get together with Ian when he was free, but Ian raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder,
applying slight force as he repeated, “Let’s go.” He then steered her toward the villa ahead.
Meanwhile, the woman had already gone over and was standing by the gate. Someone was at the
gate, and he hurriedly opened the gate upon seeing her. Ignoring Sophia and Ian, the woman entered
ahead of them. With his arm around Sophia, Ian followed her into the yard.
There was only a single building in the yard, but it was very grand. At this time, the door on the ground
floor was opened, and right opposite was a sofa facing the door. A man getting on in years was
currently sitting upright on the sofa with both hands propped on a cane, staring in the direction of Ian
and Sophia.
Leading Sophia into the house, Ian stopped a few steps by the door. Sophia merely stood still and said
nothing, while Ian pursed his lips before greeting the man as ‘Dad’ after a long while. Taken aback,
Sophia frowned slightly and turned her gaze on the man on the sofa. It’s rather surprising that this man
could have a son like Ian considering his age.
The woman who’d entered with them earlier walked over and sat down beside the man. “Bryce, I
brought him home.”
The old man stared at Ian for a while before shifting his gaze to Sophia. When he suddenly spoke, his
voice sounded pleasant at that moment. “Mrs. Constance?” Sophia froze. Huh? He knows me?
Ian’s hand was still on her shoulder, so the old man smiled. “Ian, when did the two of you get
acquainted?”
While expressionless, Ian still answered his query, saying, “A long time ago, shortly after I left home.”
Nodding, the old man chuckled. “How impressive!”
