The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia, however, didn’t notice John’s subtle action, merely staring at him seriously. “I find it truly strange that he knew me when I rarely go out.”

Schooling his expression, John asked calmly, “You went to his house?”

Sophia nodded and even blurted out the location of Ian’s house outright. “It was a rather huge house. His family must be exceedingly affluent since it’s right in the city center.”
