The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

“Sophia, just tell me the truth. Do you like Ian?” John let slip a sigh before mumbling, while Sophia seemed to be sound asleep as she didn’t give him a reply, but neither was he intent on getting a reply as he rambled on, “It’s okay if you like him, but you should spend more time knowing his character before going out with him. How dare you get drunk while with him despite not having known him for long? Do you have sh*t for brains?”

Meanwhile, Sophia slept with her head leaned to a side, with no signs indicating that she would wake up. It was thus John continued on, “The Morgans are hard to deal with, so you and Ian won’t be a compatible match. He has no power within his family because of his identity as an illegitimate son, so you have to know that your life would be even harsher than while you were with my family if you marry him.

I made a promise with my grandfather to take care of you and that I will be nice to you, so I have to hand you over to someone dependable. You will also have to be more wary of your surroundings, so find someone who you could trust, do you understand me?”

However, Sophia heard none of what he said, as she was in a deep, dreamless slumber. After washing her limbs, John tried to move her out of the tub, but his movements made her uncomfortable.

Besides, her clothes were also glued to her body after being drenched by water, which she tried to pry off, only to have her bra strap fall off her shoulder as she moved her hands to her back. “This feels so uncomfortable.”

“Just hold on and bear with it until I leave.” John held her hand down while exhaling, but Sophia wasn’t about to comply with what he said as she cast his hand away before removing her bra. The sight of it had John go retrieve a towel with gritted teeth, but she was even faster than him, as she had taken off her underwear.

He gritted even harder on his teeth while wrapping her up in a towel before lifting her out of the tub. In the meantime, Sophia kept on mumbling about how uncomfortable she was, “It’s hot in here… I feel nauseous and dizzy…”
