Sophia looked earnest when she replied. “But if you have any issues at the show, you need to let us know. We’ll
work on getting you some votes out here.”
Ian nodded. “Sure.”
Before the visit, he had a lot to sort out with Sophia. For example, he wanted to understand more about the
incident last night with John and he wanted to discuss his upcoming intensive training.
However, upon meeting Sophia and seeing that she was more excited than sad at the idea of him going away for
the training, he suddenly lost the momentum to ask her anything.
In the end, he had a brief chat with her and left. Sophia appeared tired as well, because after Ian left, she closed
the door and stretched before going up to her room.
The moment she switched off the lights in her room, John received an immediate update from his staff who was
stalking her. Reading the text, he felt satisfied and put down his phone.
He proceeded to wash up, but when he emerged again, he noticed a few missed calls on his phone, all from
Matilda. Great, she finally came looking for me.
He walked up and picked up the call. Before he could say a thing, Matilda hurriedly asked, “John, you left tonight
without eating dinner?”
John almost laughed in amusement. “Why did you arrange for Isabelle to wait at the Italian place?”
Matilda clicked her tongue in disapproval. “Son, why are you always so slow? For what other reason would I have

John sneered. “Are you still not giving up?”
Annoyed by his attitude, Matilda retorted, “Giving up for what? Look at you. Oh, I don’t even know where to begin.
You should have been with Belle from the start. Now is the right time given that you’ve divorced Sophia, so why are
you reluctant?”
John snapped back at her, “Dad is single too! That lady from before is single as well. Say, do you think they’d be a
good match if I do some matchmaking?”
“What?” Matilda immediately tensed up. “Is she still after your dad?”
John smiled. “They should have been together since the beginning. Dad is divorced now and they’re both single.
They should try dating each other.”
Matilda raised her voice. “John Constance.” John was clearly mocking her by bringing up his dad and the lady, so
she continued, “Sophia is no match for Belle. Why are you being stubborn on this topic?”
John couldn’t be bothered to argue with her, so he merely stated, “That lady has a better temper than you. She
does better skincare and even has a decent background. If I were to compare her to you, she’d have a greater
advantage and she won’t be overshadowed by you. I believe that it’s a wise decision for Dad to choose her.”
At this point, Matilda was stumped.
John smirked and said, “Look; when you’re in the same situation as Sophia, you will change your attitude. So, please
don’t claim that you are acting in my best interest. You’re the only one who would believe that rubbish from your
mouth.”
On the other end, Matilda was absolutely furious, but John didn’t spare her at all. He informed her, “I will be very
busy in the upcoming weeks. You don’t have to call me anymore. If you’re bored, just meet up with your Belle.”
Then, John hung up on her and flung his phone to a side with an obviously irritated look on his face.
He had not expected that his mother would still be going on about him and Isabelle. Obviously, Matilda’s horrible
attitude ruined his marriage with Sophia, but she seemed to still be oblivious to the fact that she was the source of
all problems.
John sighed and wiped his wet hair before resting on the bed. When his hair was almost dry, he prepared to go to
sleep, but he was then interrupted by the incessant text notification sounds from his phone. He reached out to
check his phone and found Isabelle’s text.
