Matilda stood in place and gritted her teeth angrily. At the same time, Isabelle watched the entire
interaction between the mother and son from the window upstairs. Although she might not be able to
hear their conversation, she could tell that things didn’t go well between both of them. Soon, she went
back to her seat and sat in a sulk. Why is John so hard to tackle? Not long after that, Isabelle returned
to her seat, and Matilda came back to the room.
As Matilda showed up, she tried to force a smile and explained in John’s defense, saying that he had
left earlier because he was busy. On the other hand, Isabelle pretended as if she didn’t know anything
and replied, “I see. Well, I think he must be really busy with his work, so it’s okay.”
In the meantime, Matilda wasn’t in a hurry to leave either. Thus, she sat back in her seat and uttered,
“You need to have a relationship no matter how busy you are. Too bad that kid, John, just never
understands.” In an attempt to comfort Isabelle, Matilda added, “John is just a little indifferent. After all,
he has never really had a lot of friends since he was little. Besides, he dedicates all his energy and time
to work, as we all know, which is why he tends to be a little insensitive when it comes to romantic
relationships. No human is perfect, so perhaps we should give him time to open up. Please just bear
with him, my dear.”
Isabelle responded with a smile as she was overwhelmed by fear deep down. I wouldn’t mind waiting if
John is going to open his heart up in the end, but as I keep waiting and tolerating him patiently, I’m
afraid that someone else could steal his heart away.
While John had already footed the bill, Matilda and Isabelle directly left the restaurant and took a cab
home separately. After waiting for Matilda to leave, Isabelle flagged down a cab and hesitated for a
short while before she named the address of Sophia’s residence to the driver. Although she had never
been there, she previously heard from Matilda that John gave Sophia an apartment unit to live in when
they divorced. Sophia must be living so comfortably right there since Matilda once mentioned that it
was a strategic location.
As the car slowly approached her destination, Isabelle told the driver to drop her off somewhere
nearby, which she decided to walk there by herself. At this time, Sophia was already asleep with the
lights out. Upon taking a look from afar, Isabelle proceeded to walk closer shortly before she abruptly
stopped in her tracks and quickly hid behind a tree.
It turned out that she saw a car parked outside Sophia’s residence with its headlights off. Then, she
noticed a man, who was leaning on the vehicle, staring at Sophia’s unit on the second floor. At the sight
of that, Isabelle was overwhelmed by a sting of pain and jealousy. Under the illuminating streetlight,
she could tell who that person was by his figure even without looking at his face. She then continued to
stand behind the tree while peeking at John, who was seen holding a cigarette without smoking it. After
that, the man tossed it onto the ground and trod it before he reached out for his phone and appeared to
be reading something in an absorbed manner.
Standing under the streetlight, John didn’t show a lot of expression on his face while lowering his head,
but Isabelle could tell that he was smiling faintly yet gently. After standing there for some time, he finally
turned around and got into his car, whereas Isabelle hid behind the tree until John drove off and
disappeared from sight.
Soon, Isabelle took a deep breath and slowly emerged from behind the tree, approaching the spot that
John parked his car. Then, she saw several cigarette butts on the floor before she unhappily trod on
them while feeling a twinge of pain deep down as if someone was pinching her heart.
Meanwhile, Sophia was in her sleep and had no idea what happened outside her residence. As soon
as she woke up, she stretched herself and proceeded to go about her morning ablutions in a relaxed
manner. Then, she tidied up her clothes and did her laundry, but she was soon caught in a trance when
she turned on the washing machine.
