The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

John recalled when he saw Ian’s face through the lowered car window, and he had to admit that Ian was quite handsome, or at least he looked better than his younger half brother who was around his age, so it wouldn’t surprise him if Sophia fell for him.

However, it was almost a given that Sophia would suffer if she were to marry into the Morgan Family, as none of the Morgans would be easy to get along with. She might be able to live a more carefree life if she would let things slide like how she used to, but neither her nor the Morgans would be able to get some peace and quiet if she were to adopt her current feisty attitude.

Despite the good news, John didn’t seem happy at all as he gave an almost insipid response. Zack went on to ask if he was still feeling unwell, to which he denied. However, he wasn’t actually sure, as his heart space was filled with a well of turbulent and inexplicable emotions.
