John turned around. “Don’t worry. I won’t lay a hand on your loved one again.”
Although John was reckless, he was a man of his word. Pressing her lips together, Sophia told Ian to be careful and went upstairs. Before entering the room, she took a peek
and saw that John and Ian remained on the spot. Then, she locked the door and got changed quickly.
After getting changed, she took a seat on the bed instead of going out. Why does John keep bothering me almost every day? It’s annoying! With her mind in a mess, Sophia
stooped and dug her fingers into her hair. Why did I drink so much that I didn’t even know Ian got into my room?
However, she didn’t think Ian had any evil intention since nothing had happened between them. She figured that he was wasted and simply entered her room when he saw
that the door was open.
While she was deep in her thoughts, Ian knocked on the door. “Sophia, let’s go out for breakfast.”
Heaving a sigh, Sophia walked over and opened the door. Only Ian was seen in the corridor, so Sophia took a peek at the stairs and asked, “Has John left?”
Ian replied, “Yes.”
Pursing her lips, Sophia wasn’t sure whether she should be upset or relieved. Then, without applying make-up, she left the house with Ian.
On the other end, John’s car was parked near the house as he was staring at the entrance, so when Sophia and Ian came out, he immediately saw them.
After Sophia said something, Ian leaned close to her and helped tidy her hair. They were just inches away from each other, and their interaction was intimate. Gritting his

When Sophia reached the shop, she was ready to get down to work with Robin. However, she couldn’t focus at all, as John’s cold expression kept bugging her in her mind.
Although the corner of Ian’s mouth had stopped bleeding, it became bruised. Sophia was apologetic because the talent show would begin soon, so it would be a hindrance to
Ian’s future if he couldn’t join the contest due to his injury. Upon pondering on it for a moment, she decided to bring him to see a doctor.
Coincidentally, they were assigned the doctor who treated Sophia’s leg injury before. Seeing her, he called out, “Miss Gwendolyn.”
Sophia was shocked. “You know me?”
Dr. Holt was on good terms with William, so he nodded. “I helped dress up your wound when you were injured previously.”
Sophia gave a hesitant ‘Oh’ before replying, “It’s you. It’s no wonder that I find you familiar.”
Dr. Holt took a look at Ian. “Is he your friend?”
Sophia nodded. “He’s gotten a bruise on his mouth. Do you have any effective cream to fade his bruise? He’s going to an audition in a few days.”
Dr. Holt smiled gently. “Let me have a closer look. Did you get into a fight? Oh well, the other party was ruthless. The corner of your mouth is split.”
Sophia pressed her lips together and fell into silence.
Without delving deeper into the topic, Dr. Holt was getting the prescription ready on his computer while saying, “I heard that you attended the birthday party of Old Mrs.
Blackwell.” While Sophia was startled, he continued, “You even got a good result from fortune-telling.”
Have I become famous again? she thought.
When the prescription was ready, Dr. Holt gazed at Sophia. “I happened to come across John yesterday. He was proud when he talked about you.”
At the mention of John, Sophia’s mood turned bad.
Not knowing what happened between them. Dr. Holt added, “I don’t remember John being so delighted when he mentioned anyone else.”
Sophia frowned, for she didn’t understand why the doctor was telling her this.
