The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Mrs. Constance paused. With a suspicious voice, she asked, “Sophia got to know him herself? With the identity she has?”

John didn’t really want to talk about this. He was feeling a bit irritable today, ever since this morning.

When he talked with Isabelle about work in the afternoon, he had felt a little bit better. But when he met Sophia at night, this feeling came back again. It continued up until now.

Mrs. Constance was a bit worried. “John, your relationship with Logan is decent at best. He changes with the flip of a coin. He is someone who would point and yell at his own father. There is nothing he can’t do. I’m worried that when he gets bewitched by Sophia, he would break off all ties with you, then…”

John laughed. “Mom, you’re overthinking things. Sophia isn’t that sort of person. Even if she is, how will she bewitch him?”

Mrs. Constance didn’t want to admit this, but she still admitted grudgingly, “She is beautiful.”

Then, she continued, “If it weren’t for the fact that her looks were passable, I never would have agreed with the two of you getting married in the first place, no matter what.”

John sighed. “There’s no need to speak of this matter again. It’s useless to talk about all this now.”

Mrs. Constance also knew that. She smacked her lips helplessly. “It is useless. John, we’ve ruined you.”

That was going a bit far.

John was a bit uncomfortable with that. It was one thing to say all this when it was just the two of them, but John felt it was unfair to Sophia for his mother to say such things in front of so many people.
