Blinking at him, she had no intention of going out for a walk.

She had walked a lot that day and wanted to return to her room to rest.

But after looking at Mrs. Constance, who was sitting across from her, she immediately nodded her head. “Sure! Taking a walk after a meal can help us digest some of this food. It’s good for our bodies.”

Mrs. Constance initially had a glum expression on her face but not anymore.

She pulled a long face and was a bit unsatisfied.

Nonetheless, her misery was Sophia’s delight.

John walked out of the dining room first with Sophia following behind him.

The two of them made their way to the garden.

His strides were rather big, making it hard for her to keep up.

When she could not keep up any longer, she called out, “Hey, did you come out for a walk or for race-walking.”

He stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at her. “Why are you so short? Does it make it more convenient to pick up money?”

She was surprised.

He was a man of few words and was not usually sarcastic.

Even when he talked, it was about more serious topics.

He never teased her so blatantly before.

Looking at him, she even jumped up a bit. “Why are you so tall? Does it make it easier to build a shed?”

John was indeed very tall. He looked neat and put together.

In addition to his impressive looks, it was no wonder she fell for him.

She was someone who had not seen much of the world yet, so it was only normal for her to be drawn to him when he was so handsome.

He lowered his gaze at her. Her dress is already short, but she’s still jumping. Is she trying to expose herself to the whole world? He raised his hands and pushed her shoulders down. “Stand properly.”

She looked up at him without knowing what was going on.

When their eyes met, something did not feel quite right.

Was it because they went overboard with some of the things they did after their divorce? It somehow felt rather awkward.

She licked her lips and tried to find something to say. “Uh, where do you want to go? I went to the bamboo forest in the backyard the other day. It was pretty nice.”

He immediately knew what she was talking about. “That night?”

It was the night when she wandered out and only came back when it got dark.

She nodded. “Yeah. The Constance Residence looks huge when you see it from the bamboo forest at night.”

However, another thing caught his attention. “You were in the bamboo forest by yourself that late at night? You really have no fear.”

That bamboo forest was no longer within the Constance Residence’s vicinity so anyone could go in there.

It was located in a hilly area. Even so, she was not afraid of bumping into a bad person.

She chuckled. “I met Dylan that day. We went in there together.”
