Her father let out a sigh. “Belle, about John and you…”

 

Before he finished speaking, her grandfather coughed dryly beside him, causing the man to stop talking all of a sudden. Then, the elder man said, “As long as John and Sophia don’t remarry each other, you still have a shot. You mustn’t mess things up yourself.” He thought for a moment before adding, “But you’ve got to be clear whether you really love John or not. Does your love for him not waver even when you know that he is still emotionally tangled up with his ex-wife?”

Isabelle pursed her lips together and only nodded after a long pause. “I really love John.”

She had loved John even before they were arranged to be married to each other. From his marriage to Sophia until his divorce, Isabelle felt that her love hadn’t diminished even a little bit.

When her grandfather heard that, he nodded. “Things should be fine as long as you understand yourself well. Since you’re clear about what you want, you shouldn’t become flustered just because of some unimportant things.”

Her father sighed silently next to him but did not say a word.

While Isabelle was upset over here, Sophia was actually feeling a bit unsettled over there as well. She had been careless last night. After what happened, John seemed to have misunderstood her intentions. Earlier, Robin had just called to tell her that John had gone to the shop and started to help out over there.

Now that John was behaving this way, Sophia felt that some things were becoming more and more unclear. She had just acted a little impulsive last night and given in to her physical needs as a single woman, nothing more. But how could she explain this to John and make him understand?

 

Sophia felt a little unsure about how to broach this topic with him. After hesitating for a long time, she still dressed up and went to the shop to check things out.
