Sophia tugged her hand back, but it wouldn’t even budge. Exasperation flooded her. “John Constance, when are
you going to stop putting on a show? Let go of my hand!”
John turned his gaze on her. Surprisingly, he released his grip on her obediently. “Look, even you have
misunderstood me!”
Sophia simply ignored him.
They then arrived at the supermarket. As Sophia pushed a shopping cart, John again stuck to her side. “What do
you want to eat? Go on and buy more.” Sophia said nothing, merely putting items that caught her interest into the
cart.
Robin was also pushing a shopping cart. Following behind Sophia, she looked on as John placed himself at Sophia’s
beck and call, shamelessly clinging to her. In a soft and muted voice, she said to Logan, “They’re divorced, yet they
still act like a couple. Isn’t this rather bizarre?”
His eyes fixed on the shelves on both sides, Logan hummed thoughtfully and echoed, “It’s bizarre. It’s definitely
unorthodox, but even a fool could tell that John still has feelings for Sophia.”
Taken aback, Robin’s head snapped to the side, and she stared at him. “Really? But if he has feelings for her, why
did they divorce in the first place? Since they’re already divorced, it must have been because they no longer have
feelings for each other, no?”
Logan wasn’t quite sure about this either. After darting his gaze around, he then looked at her. “I’m not too sure
about this. But why are you so curious about them? Just let them be. Matters of the heart are most complicated.”

Robin’s eyes narrowed. “Yeah, it’s most complicated.”
They didn’t spend too long buying groceries since they snagged everything that caught their fancy. When they
checked out, it was John who paid, and he even said that it was his treat with Sophia. At this, Logan hissed, “Why
must you always put yourself together with Sophia? I’ll get the wrong idea if you do so, John. Are you trying to
compete with my buddy?” His ‘buddy’ naturally referred to Ian.
Beside him, Robin swiftly pinned her gaze on John. Ian has confessed his love and made a public display of affection
on the show, after all!
Sneering, John roared with laughter. “You mean Ian? I’m competing with him?” He shook his head. “You’ve got it
wrong. Ian never stood a chance.”
Since Logan was close with Ian, he was instantly disgruntled upon hearing that and turned his eyes to Sophia. “You
tell me! In your opinion, who’s better? John or Ian? I want to hear from you now.”
Sophia looked at the two of them insipidly. “They’re both out of the running, so neither of them stand a chance. Is
that clear enough for you?”
A second before Logan spoke, Robin interjected, “Aren’t you dating Young Master Ian? Why are you now saying that
he doesn’t stand a chance?”
Sophia shrugged. “It’s all a misunderstanding. I’ll just leave it at that. Actually, I’m not in a relationship with either of
them. Alright, let’s go back and have dinner. We’ll save the talk for later.”
John backed her up. Not at all bothered about her explanation earlier, he reached out and wrapped an arm around
her shoulder. “Yes, yes. Save the talk for later.” When Sophia’s brows furrowed, he slowly retracted his arm.
“So, this is how things are, huh?” Staring at Sophia, Robin mumbled to herself in a voice so soft that even she
herself couldn’t quite catch it.
It was Sophia who prepared the soup base for the steamboat. She’d always been skilled at cooking, so as the
fragrant aroma drifted into the air, all of them salivated.
Meanwhile, Robin sat on the sofa and watched the three of them in the kitchen. She couldn’t even go in to help, for
the two men didn’t need her at all. A sense of uneasiness enveloped her, her heart feeling exceedingly heavy. After
some time, she left the living room and went to the courtyard.
When Sophia was done with the soup base, she then said to the two men, “You can bring it to the dining room after
washing the vegetables and putting them in.” After she’d said that, she left the kitchen and went to the courtyard
as well.
