The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia had breakfast late, so she wasn’t at all hungry. She continued lying on the yoga mat and went into various meditation positions.

Meanwhile, John sat on the sofa, and his cell phone rang in no time. He’d initially thought that it was the delivery he ordered, but when he picked it up and glanced at it, it turned out to be a call from Mrs. Constance. He stole a peek at Sophia, but she seemed to have dozed off.

After pondering for a moment, he then answered the call. “John, I’m sure you’re on your lunch break now, yes?” Mrs. Constance’s voice was placid.

John murmured his agreement. “Why, has anything happened at home?”

Mrs. Constance paused for a moment before saying, “No, it’s just that Belle is here to visit me.” John remembered that Isabelle had mentioned going over to visit Mrs. Constance on the phone last night, so he murmured an acknowledgement.

Mrs. Constance then continued, “If you’re free this noon, come back and have lunch. I cooked quite a few dishes, and most of them are your favorites.”

Without even looking at the time, John replied, “Never mind, it’s too troublesome.”

Mrs. Constance sighed. “What’s so troublesome? You can just go back to the office later. No one will say anything.”

Still, John declined. Before he could speak further, he then heard Isabelle’s voice from the other end. She seemed to be helping Mrs. Constance, for she smilingly asked, “Mrs. Constance, which plate should I use for this dish?”
