Isabelle really placed a lot of trust on John. He is practically going against the Baileys after they tried to harm me,
but Isabelle actually went and gave John information about her family’s illegal activities and let him investigate
it. Although she wasn’t doing anything wrong, Sophia couldn’t help but wonder what Isabelle was even thinking
about.
John felt like laughing when he looked at Sophia.
Why would she suddenly say that? John couldn’t figure out if she was jealous or not.
However, after thinking about it, John explained, “She could only ask for my help as she couldn’t investigate it
herself, and she didn’t have any friends. Moreover, I think she has other plans, and she thinks that doing this might
be doing me a favor.”
After all, John had already known about the shadow bank and was already investigating it, so it was only a matter of
sooner or later before he would find out about what the Baileys were doing.

might actually let them off the hook since he wasn’t a ruthless person.
Sophia nodded in agreement. “I used to think that Isabelle was an airhead, but I guess she’s pretty smart after all.”
John didn’t comment at that and simply smiled.
After he finished his dinner, the two of them went back upstairs. Right then, he received a phone call from his
underlings. Since John was already in his pajamas, he decided to just answer the call in the room.
Sophia wasn’t interested in listening to what John was talking about on the phone, so she took her pajamas and
went into the bathroom. However, John was still on the call after she was done.
It seemed like the issue at hand was serious as they had been talking for a while now.
Sophia had no choice but to listen as well when she lay on the bed.
On the other hand, John was standing by the window as he held his phone with one hand while he placed his other
hand on the window sill, tapping away.
From what he was saying, it seemed like they were tailing one of the drivers and managed to find their hiding place.
Then, Sophia seemed to have caught Husky’s name being mentioned before she slowly sat back up.
The amount of information from John was huge, and Sophia couldn’t piece everything together as she didn’t know
much, so she waited patiently.
After John hung up, Sophia spoke up. “Where did you take Husky? Isn’t he with Logan?”
John contemplated for a moment before he answered, “A lot happened in between, so let me tell you all about it
after everything ends.”
Indeed, it was hard to explain when there were too many twists and turns in the story.
Sophia immediately waved her hands after she heard him. “It’s alright. Don’t explain it to me. I don’t want to know
if it’s too complicated.”

Sophia had no patience for complicated matters now as she just wanted to slack off and enjoy a simple life.
John smiled at that before he ruffled her hair and went into the bathroom.
After he had taken his quick bath, he went on the bed and hugged Sophia.
That feeling of discomfort returned again. However, this time, he felt physically discomfited. It was impossible for
any man to stand not being able to do anything when he had such a beautiful woman in his arms every night.
John spoke up weakly. “Sophia, I don’t feel good.” His voice sounded gruff, tinted with a hint of playfulness.
Sophia immediately caught on to what he was implying as she slapped his hand that was caressing her body. “You
better keep yourself in check. Your son is watching you.”
Immediately, John pouted and started acting pitiful. “But I’ll have to wait for so long.”
However, Sophia closed her eyes. “If you really want to do it, you can try doing it with other people.”
John glared at her. “What are you even talking about?!”
Great. What she said had instantly killed the mood.
Although it was still early, Sophia felt drowsy already, so she fell asleep not long after.
