The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

John was not angered by Sophia’s answer because she was right. He had brought her to the company today with that purpose in mind.

Mrs. Constance took two heavy breaths. This time, she did not scream like she used to but faced Old Mrs. Constance instead. “Mom, look at the way she talks to her elders. Who would want a daughter-in-law like her?”

Sophia’s eyes shot up. “Who said I was your daughter-in-law? John and I divorced a long time ago. I’m only keeping up with this act for John’s sake. If you’re not happy with it, I’ll go out right now and tell the world that I’m not in any way related to your Young Master John. What will you do about that?”

Mrs. Constance was rendered speechless.

Old Mrs. Constance turned to look at Sophia and said in a calm voice, “Don’t say things like that so easily next time. It won’t be great if someone overheard.”

Sophia sulked and did not say anything else.

Beside her, John quietly put some food in her bowl. “Alright, eat up. It’s been a busy day.”

They did not have any peace even when they came home for a meal.

Mrs. Constance mumbled to herself, “It’s not like I said anything.”

Pursing her lips, Sophia kept her eyes on Mrs. Constance. “Elder Mr. Bailey went to the company today. I think he wanted to sound out me and John. I wonder if Miss Bailey said something to him. People are starting to get suspicious.”
