The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

John placed his chopsticks down and looked at Sophia. His expression remained the same, almost as if whatever she just said didn’t affect him emotionally at all.

After she finished laughing to herself, she asked, “What’s wrong? Are you upset after hearing the truth?”

“Nope,” he answered, without batting an eye. “I’m quite pleased that you think that way. Otherwise, I’d feel sorry for having done you a disservice.”

The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she glanced about her surroundings as if she didn’t know how to react to his words nor how to continue the conversation.

Studying the food in front of her—she barely ate anything—he asked, “You’re done? Are you full?”

In response, she placed her spoon down. “Yeah.”

Thus, he called for the check.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the man, who had secretly been taking pictures of them, had put his phone away.

To be honest, I don’t understand what’s the point of taking these photos. In the first place, drugging their opponents was a low blow. Seeing as we didn’t fall for their dirty trick, shouldn’t they keep to more honest means? Why do they have to go so far and bring it out to the open? Don’t they have any integrity?

After John paid the bill, Sophia stood up first. Then, she walked over to him and hugged his arm.

Lowering his gaze, he looked down at the hand on his arm. Two seconds later, he squeezed her hand, then he moved her arm away and entwined his fingers with hers.
