The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Upon hearing Zacks’ words, Sophia laughed out loud. “When it comes to stuff like this, it’s not something you can control, nor is it something that will go the way you want it to. Therefore, your efforts are all in vain. So, I suggest you stop it.”

Zack smacked his lips. “Are you saying I’m annoying?”

It’s not annoying per se. Still, it’s uncomfortable when there’s always somebody trying to stick their nose into my business.

Thus, she waved her hand. “Nope. Let me tell you this; the more you try to push us together, the more likely your plans will backfire on you.”

In the first place, John doesn’t like me. So, if Zack keeps trying to put in a good word for me, it might just end up working by way of reverse psychology, and John will hate me even more.

Still, Zack didn’t quite understand that logic. However, when he saw Sophia speaking so knowledgeably about it, he couldn’t refute her words.

On the other side, John had finished swimming several laps around the swimming pool. Just as he was about to climb out of the pool, a young lady approached him. Moreover, the swimsuit she wore was even more revealing than the one Sophia had on. She walked over and sat by the edge of the pool, dipping her legs into the water and paddling her legs back and forth. Thus, the ripples and splashes caused by her kicks traveled over to John.

Then, John looked at her expressionlessly.

On the other hand, the young lady smiled. Tilting her head to the side, she asked, “Are you here alone?”

The young lady was dry, and her face was fully made up. A single glance was enough to tell that she wasn’t here to swim.
