But John is in cooperation with Isabelle recently. Is it really okay that he’s treating her like this? Sophia thought.
Isabelle fell silent. In order to keep teasing her, John asked, “Isabelle, are you listening?”
Coming to her senses, Isabelle replied in an embarrassed voice, “Alright. I’ll pass you the movie tickets later.”
John grunted. “Okay. Thanks.” Upon finishing his words, he hung up the call.
Seeing what happened, Sophia guffawed. “You were so shameless!”
John said with a snort, “I think she was with someone.”
Hearing this, Sophia was startled. “What do you mean?” After giving it a thought, she said, “You mean someone
was listening in on Isabelle’s conversation with you?”
At least, that was how John felt because Isabelle talked in a different way, and her action was a little strange on this

After a moment of deliberation, Sophia still couldn’t understand what was going on, so she just nodded. “I think so.”
When they reached the Civil Affairs Bureau, they were relieved to see that the place wasn’t crowded on a Friday.
Since this wasn’t an auspicious day, only a small number of people came to the bureau to register for marriage or
file for divorce.
Remained in the car, Sophia stared at the bureau’s entrance for a while and then laughed. “John, do you remember
the date of our divorce?”
John nodded. “Yes.” Of course I remember that
It was a more memorable day than when I first got married. Chuckling, Sophia turned to face him. “It was
Valentine’s day.” John wasn’t aware that it was Valentine’s day; he simply remembered the date. Then, he pulled
her hand toward himself and held it firmly before saying, “We won’t divorce again after today.” A while later, they
stepped into the bureau and went through the legal procedures to get married, which were familiar to them. After
all, it wasn’t their first time here. With all the necessary documents ready, it didn’t take them a long time to register
for marriage. Holding the marriage certificate in her hands, Sophia looked at it for a moment and burst into
laughter. She said, “It’s so easy to get one.” It is so easy to get a marriage certificate, but it is so hard for two
people to fall in love. Cupping her face with his hands, John kissed her and said, “Mrs. Constance, please take care
of me from now on.” With a calm expression, Sophia replied, “You should be the one taking care of me instead.
Also, you’ll have to obey my orders from now on.” John burst out laughing. “Alright. I’ll obey your orders. You’ll be
the chief commander of our family.” After the call ended, Isabelle turned to face her grandfather with a helpless

He then scoffed. “What a jerk.” Pursing her lips, Isabelle said in a lowered and aggrieved voice, “Grandpa, I’ve tried,
but he’s rejected me.” Her grandfather waved his hand and passed her the movie tickets. “Forget it. Just take the
tickets and make your own decision.” Apparently, he was displeased because the fact that Isabelle was
embarrassed was also a slap in his face. After all, Isabelle represented the Bailey Family. After taking over the
movie tickets, Isabelle hung her head low and sighed. “After all we’ve been through, he still doesn’t love me. I guess
he’ll never fall in love with me.” Not wanting to hear any of that, her grandfather waved his hand again. “Alright. Go
now.” Then, Isabelle shuffled out of the room. After Isabelle left, Elder Mr. Bailey closed the door and walked up to
the wardrobe. Upon unlocking the safe, he took out a document from it. .
