The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Neither was Sophia certain of John’s plans. She turned to look out of the window as she smacked her lips. “John is the type of person who would choose to ignore certain things, which could be frustrating. I just don’t understand him.”

That was how the two of them differed from each other, as Sophia would most certainly charge head on to confront whoever that slandered her. She could hardly tolerate being defamed, so she would fight back tooth and nail till the perpetrator was condemned for eternity.
