Sophia let slip a chuckle before replying, “Is that so? I was expecting to meet you during such an
occasion.”
What Sophia said was rather confrontational, but Isabelle didn’t seem to mind at all, as she retained
her smile while saying, “How long have you been here? I just arrived. There are so many guests, but I
know none of them, so it’s making me feel a little awkward.”
While Isabelle spoke, Sophia was observing the white gown Isabelle wore. She seemed otherworldly in
her gown, which was befitting of her temperament. In comparison, Sophia thought she seemed tacky,
but that was a fact she didn’t deny; she thought that she was destined for the life of a common folk who
needed to work hard to earn her wages.
John approached Sophia to stand by her side. “We just arrived as well.” While John spoke, Logan
walked up to them with a sullen look on his face upon noticing Isabelle’s presence, as he disliked both
Isabelle and her mother. Besides, he was never one to hide his emotions, so people could easily get to
know who was on his blacklist by observing his facial expressions. He stood beside Sophia as well, but
his words were directed at Isabelle. “Why are you here?”
He sounded even more confrontational than Sophia, but Isabelle tried her best to respond in a casual
manner. “I came with my father.”
After hearing what she told him, Logan examined her from head to toe before saying, “This gown looks
nice on you. It suits you. Why would you even think of taking some other person’s gown? With some
effort, you can always find one that fits you.”
Although Logan supposedly didn’t mean anything else, his words came out slightly twisted, which he
didn’t seem to notice himself, but both Sophia and Isabelle could detect the underlying implications in
what he said.
With a half smirk, Sophia suggested, “Let’s not stand here, as we’re getting quite some attention. We
should go to the reception hall instead.” She knew that Isabelle was trying to attract more attention by
calling out to her loudly earlier, so she figured she should comply with that by moving to an even more
crowded location.
The four of them garnered a lot of attention as soon as they entered the reception hall. Sophia was
John’s ex-wife, while Isabelle was supposedly his girlfriend, and the three were accompanied by
Logan, who was notorious for his bad temper. The fact that the four of them were together made for
splendid gossip, which was why the crowd around them were huddled among themselves while
glancing at Sophia. They all seemed to be expecting a good show.
Sophia wore a smile while wondering if they assumed Isabelle and her would fight in public. As they
were both civilized individuals, they wouldn’t do it in public even if they were to start a brawl. Truth be
told, Sophia disliked the fact that Isabelle would put on a smile regardless of if she liked the individual
she was facing.
Compared to her, Sophia much preferred spending time with someone like Logan, whom she could
easily read, as it was safer to associate herself with that kind of person. People like Isabelle were good
at disguising themselves, so their shady actions might even go undetected. Even someone like Matilda
was easier to deal with compared to Isabelle.
Upon reaching that conclusion, Sophia could no longer hold back the question in her mind, so she
turned to look at John. “I have something that I’ve been meaning to ask you.”
Instead of giving her a reply on the spot, John gestured at the seats in the lounge area beside them, so
Isabelle and Logan went over. After that, John looked at Sophia while asking, “What’s the matter? What
is it that you would like to know?”
Sophia didn’t follow Logan and Isabelle. Instead, she moved closer to John before asking, “Are your
parents…?” She didn’t finish her sentence as she assumed he would know what she was trying to ask.
However, all John did was stare at her in silence. Sophia didn’t want anybody else overhearing their
conversation, so she moved even closer to him before repeating her question. “Are you parents really
divorced?”
A smile tugged at the corner of John’s lips. Neither Logan nor Isabelle were close to them, so the fact
that John and Sophia stood so close to each other garnered the attention of quite a number of people.
