John gave Sophia a few more glances before turning around and following Robin to the refrigeration cabinet.
Sophia could vaguely hear John and Robin chatting about what desserts and drinks would suit each other as she
stood behind the counter.
From the side, Sophia noticed that John looked colder now. He looked different from how he was in the past.
She felt like the way John looked now would probably scare people away, and girls wouldn’t want to go after
someone like this.
Sophia didn’t know if she was blinded in the past, but she just found people like John very attractive.
I guess there was something really wrong with my taste.
After Robin finished packing up the meals, John came over to pay.
However, Sophia refused to accept his money. “It’s on the house. Since you’ve helped me so much in the past, I
won’t be charging you for these.”
John didn’t hesitate as well. “I’ll be supporting your business more in the future, then.”
Right after, he nodded at Sophia and left.
Sophia stood behind the counter as she thought to herself, John seems really different from how he was before
today.
At one point back then, he was shameless and slow to understand, but he doesn’t act like that anymore.
It seems like he went back to how it was when he didn’t love her.
Sophia smiled a little at that. That’s good.

After John drove away, Robin walked over. “Hey, did Mr. Constance come over for you?”
Hearing the question, Sophia snorted. “Why would he come over for me? I haven’t been in contact with him for a
long time already. He probably came over to buy some stuff because he was passing by.”
Robin nodded before she pouted. “You’re right. I’ve never seen the two of you contacting each other, although I’m
with you every day.”
Then, Robin looked outside while she leaned on the counter. “But, are you willing to let go of him, though? Mr.
Constance is a really nice person, and it would be a loss to let him go just like that.”
Sophia smiled. “It’s not about being willing or not. It’s just that I’m more than often sad when I was with him, so how
can we continue going on like that?”
Robin grunted at that and didn’t say anything anymore.
They finally got to rest for a while after the rush hour in the morning was over.
There wasn’t much left at the shop anymore, so Robin busied herself to make more desserts while Sophia watched
and learned from the side.
Right then, Robin asked, “Have you guys found that person that kidnapped me back then yet?”
There weren’t any updates from the police, and John didn’t say anything when he came over just now, so there
probably wasn’t any update yet.
Robin sighed. “To be honest, I don’t really care if we can’t find that person since I wasn’t injured anyways. It’s just
that I feel like I’m left hanging, and I can’t seem to let go of the breath that I’ve been holding.”
Sophia nodded. “You’re right. As long as those people aren’t captured, it’s hard to feel at ease.”
Robin hummed in agreement. “But I feel like Mr. Constance would continue investigating this. Just now, I almost…”
Robin lowered her tone before she turned around to Sophia. “I almost wanted to ask him when he would be able to
find the mastermind behind this. However, I thought about it later on and realized that he had no obligation to help
us, so I didn’t ask him in the end so that I don’t sound so immature.”
Sophia chuckled when she heard Robin. Yeah. John really didn’t have any obligation to help her.
After the morning rush hour, Sophia went for her driving lesson since there weren’t many customers during the
noon.
When the driving lesson ended in the afternoon, she took a cab back to her shop but ended up stuck in a traffic jam
and stopped in front of a mall.
Pondering for a moment, Sophia decided to get out of the cab and head to the mall to get some stuff.
The male and female apparel were located on the second and third floor of the mall respectively, so Sophia took
the escalator up.
Right after Sophia got off the escalator, she turned around and ran into Matilda.
Matilda just bought some stuff and was standing in front of a shop while being on the phone.
