John had the driver send them home and gave Zack a call on the way back to have him bring them
some food. The gown in which Sophia was in would make it inconvenient for her to eat in a restaurant,
so he figured it would be more comfortable for her to go home.
The fact that John and Sophia decided to come home so early came as a surprise to Zack, so he
asked, “Did the other guests bother you because of the scandals on the Internet?”
John gave some thought to the situation before realizing that it didn’t happen, as people would only talk
behind their back instead of confronting him with their questions. Whomever invited to a charity dinner
would most probably own a huge business, which meant that they would also be shrewd characters
who knew to uphold a sense of propriety. The scandals were yet to be proven as true, so they wouldn’t
say anything that would make an enemy out of him.
It was thus that John told Zack that nothing happened before telling the latter to bring them their dinner
as soon as possible, as both him and Sophia had yet to have dinner, and it was already way past
dinner time, to which Zack replied that he would see to the task immediately.
After hanging up, John loosened his tie. Occasions like that annoyed him too, but he had to inevitably
attend them from time to time. There was no congestion to the traffic as they went home, so they didn’t
spend much time on their journey home, and were soon back in their house.
“Nowhere compares to home.” Sophia heaved a sigh of relief, then kicked off her shoes as soon as
they stepped through the door. The accessories she wore were deftly taken off while she walked
toward the sofa, which were later left on the coffee table. “These would be worth quite a lot, so I’ll
return them to you.”
John took off his jacket and changed his shoes. “Consider them as gifts from me.”
“Nah, they‘re flashy but impractical at all, nor do I have any use of them. I would be painting a target on
my back for robbers if I wear them on normal days, so they’re useless to me no matter how much they
are worth.” There was disdain in her tone of voice.
What she said surprised John, as he didn’t expect her to be so calculating. A smile bloomed on his
face, which was rare in itself. “You can always sell them, as they’re worth quite a lot.”
“It’s fine, as I do not know how much they are worth. It’ll only be a bother if I wound up being cheated,
so you should keep them, or give them to Isabelle if she doesn’t mind.” Sophia stretched herself.
There was a pause in John’s movements as silence befell. Meanwhile, Sophia went upstairs
barefooted to get changed into the pajamas she dug out from her room, which she quickly settled into
comfortably.
She made her way downstairs after putting her hair up in a loose bun and removing her makeup, only
to see Zack having arrived at their house, whereas the items he carried were laid out on the coffee
table. The rich aroma of the food he brought could be smelled before she even reached the lower level,
to which she asked while walking downstairs, “Have you brought something I like?”
“Of course. I picked out the food that you would like, so you don’t have to worry.” Zack’s reply came
quickly, to which John turned to look at him in response while wearing a frown. However, Zack’s
attention wasn’t on him as he was busy opening the packages to retrieve the food containers. “You
should eat up. Here, this is something that you would like, and it’s still piping hot!”
“You’re the best!” In a few strides, Sophia giggled as she took the food from Zack. Meanwhile, John
observed their interaction from aside, while he figured that they would’ve only known each other after
he met Sophia, which meant they would only have known each other for half a year at most. Judging
from the fact that Zack knew what she liked, he seemed to have put in a lot of effort to understand her.
The both of them took the food to the dining room, then Sophia giggled as they chatted away. John
could hear Zack's words despite the latter having lowered his voice as he said, “Great job! You sure are
the one whom I worship!”
Sophia gave Zack a pat on the shoulder before she mumbled something to him, prompting the latter to
snicker. “Really? I am curious about what happened!”
It was by then that John approached them in silence while wearing a smile.
