Standing beside the car door, he turned to look at Sophia and lan, the smile on his face dripping with sarcasm. For unknown reasons, Sophia suddenly felt guilty and uneasy. What she said to John just now was purely out of rage. It was all nonsense; nothing had happened between lan and her.

Afraid to look at John, Sophia could only look at lan. "I-I'm not feeling very well and I'm going to rest. If everything's alright, you should go back and rest too."

Meanwhile, John took out a cigarette and lit it. Leaning against the car, he bit the cigarette without puffing and set his eyes on Sophia. In the past, Sophia actually once said that she liked him. But that was when they were busy in bed at night, so he doubted that she was sincere. Now, he figured that perhaps it was just something she said out of pleasure and not from the bottom of her heart.

lan turned back and glanced at John before raising his hand to Sophia's forehead. "Why are you not feeling well all of a sudden?"

Startled, Sophia retreated slightly and played with her hair. "I'm just a little tired."

lan then leaned nearer and stared at her chin. "Did you hurt your chin?"

Hearing this, her hand immediately went to her chin. John had grabbed it just now and it was still aching painfully. Sophia hurriedly replied, "It was an accident. If there's nothing else, I should get back inside." lan clearly understood that Sophia was avoiding him. Therefore, he didn't push her either. "Alright then. If you're not feeling well, you should rest early. Anyway, I just dropped by on my way home." Sophia nodded. "Alright. You should head home earlier and don't stay out late." She then added, "You should go first. I'll see you off." In reality, she was afraid that if she left, John and lan would get into a row. Fortunately, lan obeyed her and turned to leave with a wave. As he passed John by, both of them didn't even bother to glance at each other, instead choosing to ignore the other's presence. It was only after lar left did Sophia feel relieved. She didn't want to talk to John so she turned to go inside the house but unexpectedly, John said, "You and lan do seem like quite the match."

Sophia paused and slowly turned to look at him. He was still maintaining the same posture, looking at her with a faint smile. After a while, she lifted her lips. "Indeed. I came from a poor background; so did lan. Therefore, both of us are the perfect match. Is there anything else you'd like to add on? Why don't you get it all out before you choke yourself?"

The smile on John's face vanished because that wasn't what he actually meant. However, John remained silent. After waiting for a beat, Sophia turned and entered the house. Pursing his lips for some time, John suddenly threw his cigarette onto the floor. Out of spite, he turned and kicked on the car door.

At the same time, Sophia went back to her room and felt extremely uncomfortable. She felt uneasy all over but couldn't pinpoint the exact place it was coming from. Sophia lay directly on the bed, her heart in her mouth. That b*stard John. How blind she was to fall for someone like him? He was even worse than Logan! Although Logan wasn't reliable, he was actually kind to her. On the contrary, John was just a b*stard.

Sophia touched her chin, inwardly grumbling that he almost dislocated it. Actually, there was a moment when she thought that John was trying to kill her because he was truly terrifying earlier. Turning to her side, she closed her eyes.

Meanwhile, after John got into the car, he headed directly toward the bar that Logan had chosen. He arrived, only to find that Logan was already there.
