Thereafter, Sophia received a message from her irresponsible mother. It was a picture of a young girl who looked
to be 12 or 13 years old. Actually, there wasn’t much of a resemblance to her, but her intuition told her that this
was probably the child that woman had after remarrying. She looks quite presentable, neat and tidy. After a single
glance, she deleted the message. Why did she send this to me? I’m not at all interested in their lives.
She then took a shower and sprawled out on the bed. I’ve been contemplating changing phone numbers back when
John and I got divorced, but I then returned with him from Tri Asel, so I didn’t get to do so. Now, I truly need to
consider whether to bite the bullet. Many inane thoughts crowded into her mind, but she finally drifted off groggily.
The next day, Sophia was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone. With her eyes shut, she fumbled for her cell
phone and answered the call. It was Robin on the other end, and she shrieked loudly, “You two are just too
romantic, Sophia!”
Squinting, Sophia grunted. “What are you talking about?”
Robin startled. “Are you still in bed? Why, did you spend the night talking with Ian on the phone?”
Nonetheless, Sophia couldn’t make head or tail of her remark. Propping herself up, she felt a mild pounding in her
head.
Robin then continued, “Ian is truly handsome, so he must give you quite the sense of security, huh?”
Sophia’s brows furrowed. “Ian? What’s with him?”

Again, Robin was stunned. “Didn’t you watch him in the competition last night?”
Oh yes, Ian’s competition was last night! It had completely slipped Sophia’s mind due to the trifles beleaguering her.
She heaved a sigh. This hangover feeling truly doesn’t feel so great. Getting out of bed, she headed to the
bathroom. At the same time, she asked, “What’s with Ian?”
Robin giggled. “You should go and take a look. I’ve never had such a thought before, but now, I find that loyal men
are really handsome.”
Hissing in pain, Sophia just couldn’t wrap her mind around Robin’s remarks. Thus, she hung up and took a shower.
When she came out after she was done washing up, she did a search on her cell phone, only to see that Ian’s
performance last night was of a song he composed by himself. It was his usual style in which he played the guitar
as he sang, slow and lyrical.
However, the title of the song was rather intriguing—Fated Response. Before he sang it, he even explained that he
was inspired by his girlfriend’s name. He said that his girlfriend’s name symbolized love and devotion, so he titled
the song thus to encapsulate his hopes for their future.
Sophia pursed her lips. I wonder if he’s trying to establish a public persona. Nonetheless, his apparent show of
affection had him soaring in popularity. After all, loyal men are very much attractive. He received the highest
number of votes from the live audience last night, so this is probably a gimmick, Sophia thought.
Everything involves gimmicks nowadays, but in reality, it’s all fake, and everything is a huge lie. Without even
bothering to listen to his singing, she locked her cell phone. Well, as I’ve said, my life is getting increasingly chaotic
now, and I’ve been proven right.
She then went downstairs, but Logan was still sleeping after imbibing far too much last night. Her head pounding
badly, Sophia wasn’t in the mood to cook, so she merely boiled some water. My stomach is feeling queasy, and I’m
slightly nauseous.
Ah, a hangover can only make someone forget his or her troubles temporarily, but when the buzz is gone, reality
remains! Whatever may come will still come without a doubt, and everything may even come at the same time.
Meanwhile, John and William returned to the hotel together. Before entering his room, William turned and looked at
John. “Have you called home?”
Taken aback, John stilled while opening his room door. “No.”
