The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

The girls were carried away by their brainstorming and forgot about the time. When Sophia was finally back to reality, the sun had already set.

She was surprised to find that their conversation had lasted the whole afternoon. She hurriedly bid farewell to Robin and took a cab back home.

At home, John had been awake for a while. After waking up, he wandered around the house but could not find Sophia anywhere. That did not alarm him at all. Instead, he went to his study and requested that Zack send him some work documents from the office for him to skim through at home.

John was an extreme workaholic, so he only put down his work when Sophia was back.

Walking to the study windows, he stared at Sophia coming out of the cab and running toward the garden. She did not appear to be acting dramatically about her leg injury anymore.

He left the study and slowly went downstairs, bumping into Sophia, who was taking off her shoes at the foyer. When she saw him, she asked, “Did you just wake up?”

John chuckled. “I’m done reading a lot of work documents.”

She nodded. “You must be hungry. I’ll make some food.”

John walked over and stood at the kitchen door to stare at Sophia. In the past, she had cooked a few times. It was back when they were newlyweds that she volunteered to make dinner for him on his days off.
