John sighed. “Perhaps she’s been too stressed, so she’s overly tired these days. As she’s thin in the first place, her
body can’t take it in the long run even though there’s no major problem with her health.”
Logan gave him a thoughtful look. “She’s indeed very thin, so she really needs some nourishment.” After saying
that, he added, “You’ve been here the whole time?”
Nodding, John leaned back against the sofa. “I was worried about her.”
Logan was slightly relieved to hear that he’d stayed, but recalling Ian, he then felt that it seemed rather
inappropriate. Thus, he stared at John for a long while before asking hesitantly, “Isn’t your life affected when you
take care of Sophia so much?”
John guffawed at the subtlety of the question. “How would it be affected? I’m single, and so is she. The only thing
that might happen is rumors floating around. What else could there be?” Without waiting for him to respond, he
instantly added, “Besides, we were once husband and wife, so we have a strong emotional foundation. Even if
something does happen, it’s only natural.”
Standing at the landing on the second floor, Sophia was gripped by the urge to rebuff him upon hearing his
shameless remark. A strong emotional foundation? How brazen of him to say that! Has he forgotten how he
treated me in the past?
Robin was the first to notice her, so she sprang to her feet. “Sophia.”
This time, Sophia had gotten her fill of sleep. She then descended the stairs. “You’re all here?”

Robin pursed her lips. “How are you feeling? Are you not feeling well?”
After a moment’s contemplation, Sophia answered, “I’m okay. I’m feeling much better now.”
Logan walked over and touched her forehead. “You must voice it out immediately if you’re not feeling well. You
can’t dawdle when it comes to your health.”
Murmuring her assent, Sophia glanced at John out of the corner of her eye, recalling the medical report she saw
earlier. All at once, she was at a loss for words.
John looked around at everyone. “How about you all stay for dinner? It’ll be a lively affair.”
Naturally ecstatic, Logan promptly agreed, “Sure! I love lively affairs! I’ll go for groceries. Shall we have steamboat
tonight? What do you all think?”
Sophia nodded. “Sure.” At the mention of ‘steamboat’, it was as though she could already smell its fragrant aroma,
and she started salivating.
Subsequently, Robin concurred as well.
However, there weren’t many groceries left at home, so Sophia suggested, “I’ll go and buy some groceries from
the supermarket. You guys wait at home.”
“I’ll go with you,” John instantly blurted.
Thus, Robin parroted, “I’ll go as well.”
Logan definitely couldn’t stand waiting here alone, so he declared, “Then, I’ll go as well. Since you’re all going, I
certainly can’t stay here alone.”
Therefore, it was decided that the four of them would all be going. After Sophia had changed her shoes, they then
set out. The supermarket was only a stone’s throw away, so they went on foot.
John walked beside Sophia. “Are you cold?”
Sophia gaped at him as though he had lost his mind. Who would be cold on such a warm day?
Ignoring her reaction, he moved closer and grasped her hand. “Let me see. Hey, why is your hand so cold? Here,
I’ll warm it for you.”
Sophia arched an eyebrow. “Can you please have some self-respect?”
At this, John outright laughed. “What self-respect? I’ve long since abandoned all self-respect before you.” Since his
answer was starkly unabashed, Sophia had no words to refute him.
As Robin took in their interaction at the side, her gaze grew increasingly dim.
Logan, on the other hand, tutted. “What are you two doing? Let go, let go. We both have eyes on you here.”
John didn’t care a whit whether someone else was watching. Instead, he tightened his hold on Sophia’s hand. “Her
hand is too cold, so I’m warming it up. What’s there to see? What’s so interesting?”
