The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Old Mrs. Constance had no appetite now, so she only ate a bit before stopping, but she waved John down. “Don’t mind me. Have some more. You’ve been working hard.” She slowly got up, and the servant took her outside.

John slowly put his spoon down, for he couldn’t eat anymore either. Leaning back in his seat, he took out his cigarettes. The moment he lit the lighter, his phone rang, so he took it after glancing at who was the caller. “Hello, Miss Bailey.”

Isabelle said gently, “Am I disturbing you?”

John lit his cigarette. “No. Do you need anything?”

She sighed. “Your mother called me this afternoon. She said she’s upset and told me about what happened. I’m worried about her, but I don’t want to agitate her. Are you home now? Is she feeling better?”

He puffed and leaned back on the chair. “She is.” He didn’t need to guess what his mother told Isabelle. Probably everything and then something more.

Isabelle didn’t know what to say, so she kept quiet. A moment later, she said, “Do talk to her. They still have to live together, so let’s not be too tense about it.”

John smiled. “Got it.”

Then, she lowered her voice and added, “They’re family, so there’s no need to go this far.” John stayed quiet, so Isabelle asked, “If it’s fine, can I visit her tomorrow? She talked a lot today, so I think I should visit her.”
