Chapter 199

Sophia was trying her best to listen in on what was going on outside of her room, but the house had great soundproof mechanics. It was thus she gave up on waiting, instead opting to flip over and shut her eyes. She quickly fell into a slumber that lasted till the next morning.Her first reaction upon waking up was to check the view outside the window. The car was still parked at the entrance, which meant John was still in the house. After washing up, she headed downstairs with plans of boiling herself some noodles, but she changed her mind as she didn’t want to waste the food she cooked last night.She opened the fridge, only to be startled by the extra item she found in it. Upon taking it out, she figured it was a lunchbox in a plastic bag, which she found out to be true after opening it. The content within was revealed to be pork leg soup as she took off the lid, which had a frown form on Sophia’s face as she wondered if John brought it back last night. Is this for me? Ha, he seemed to have somehow become more considerate! What a surprise! she thought to herself.However, she put it back into the fridge, instead opting to heat up the dishes she made to eat them as breakfast in the dining room. John wasn’t up until a while later, and there was a momentary pause in his movements when he saw Sophia in the dining room, but he soon proceeded to approach her. “You slept early last night.”Sophia wore a calm expression as she looked toward him. “I only saw your message just now. I slept early last night, so I didn’t see it till then. Was there something you needed?”“Not really,” he said while sitting down, so Sophia didn’t pry any further. She also prepared his portion for breakfast, but he didn’t seem to have an appetite.Upon noticing that John was only sitting by the table, she asked directly, “Don’t you have work today?”
