The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia was taken aback. Then, she looked up at Zack. “She came knocking on his door?”

Zack nodded solemnly. “Do you remember the time I answered the call from your ex-husband? At the time, that woman was standing outside his door and dressed very lightly. That clearly indicates that she was offering herself to him! However, your ex-husband was rather calm in that situation—he didn’t lose his cool. Then, guess what happened…”

He kept her in suspense, staring at her with a mysterious expression.

After mulling over it briefly, she decided to give in and play along. “What happened?”

Widening his eyes, he answered, “That woman confessed to your ex-husband! She claimed that she had loved him for a long time. Still, your ex-husband wasn’t moved at all. He told the other party that he was in a loving relationship with his wife.” Naturally, that statement was something he made up.

Then, he continued, “When that woman heard that, she flew into a rage and claimed that your ex-husband had been drugged. Moreover, she accused him of having relations with another woman. If this matter were to spread, your ex-husband’s reputation would be ruined.”

He continued spinning his nonsensical story with a serious expression. “However, your ex-husband laughed in her face. He admitted to being drugged but claimed that he had been with his wife. His wife! Would you believe that? That sounds so…”

That sounds so… what? She was tempted to ask. Still, she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue when she saw the exaggerated expression on his face.

He continued to stare at her as he said, “Let me be honest with you… Under the influence of those drugs, a man would lose his mind to lust. Under those circumstances, he wouldn’t be picky.

Any woman would do; it didn’t matter who it was. However, take a look at your ex-husband! He withstood the entire ordeal by force of will alone! That’s not easy to accomplish!”

She paused for a moment. Then, she got off the bed, walked over to the window, and looked at the weather outside. It was very sunny outside and the sun was blisteringly hot.

However, she felt cold for some reason. Moreover, she had no idea where this chilling wind in her heart came from.
