The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia blinked at her. “Old Mrs. Constance, what do you have to say?”

She put some food in Sophia’s bowl. “Have you ever heard your grandfather bring up John’s grandfather before? Do you know what kind of friendship they had?”

Sophia paused and thought about it seriously. “He did bring him up before, but he did not say much.”

Old Mrs. Constance seemed quite interested. “What did he say? Tell me.”

Old Mrs. Constance and Old Mr. Constance loved each other very much. When he passed away, she was the most calm and reserved with her emotions.

However, some things inevitably showed through one’s face.

Sophia felt like she was probably also the saddest and most heartbroken person.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to tell her. Old Mr. Gwendolyn had, in fact, not told Sophia a lot. When he reunited with Old Mr. Constance, he, with only skin and bones left, was in a worse state than Old Mr. Constance.

Old Mr. Gwendolyn had worked his whole life as a farmer, so his physique had long since deteriorated.

Exerting a bit of strength, he managed to briefly tell her about the past.

The two old men had once joined the army.

At the time, Old Mr. Gwendolyn carried out several missions while he was in his troop. He said that in one of his missions, he rescued Old Mr. Constance.

Though, he did not go into detail as to how he rescued him.

After that, the two of them developed a closer bond.
