The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

John was clearly taken aback. Staring at Sophia, he didn’t reply immediately.

On the other hand, Sophia chuckled and said in a low voice, “You won’t touch a woman you have no feelings for. Then, when you did it with me before…”

Wiggling her brows, she smiled.

He studied her for a bit, then laughed mockingly. Leaning back against his seat, he crossed his legs, ankle over knee. “You’re different.”

“Oh?” Her tone was light. “How am I different?”

He placed one hand on his thigh; he was tapping his finger subconsciously. “I’ve gotten used to your body, so I don’t find it disgusting.”

In other words, he’s saying it doesn’t matter whether or not he feels anything for me.

Thus, she chuckled audibly and leaned forward, placing one elbow against the table and propping her chin on it. Then, she said with a sly look in her eyes, “Then, what are you going to do in the future? You can’t just… continue being comfortable with my body, can you?”

Some words, when spoken, coupled with an ambiguous tone, really gave off the vibe of a pretentious flirt. Even she felt so. Still, it was a nice feeling to have.

Right now, everything she said and did was something she would never have dared to do previously. There were many rules in the Constance Family, especially when it came to her—there were even more rules specifically for her.
