The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

When Sophia served him a bowl of rice porridge, he sighed at her. “I’ll still be busy today and likely going to come home late. You don’t have to stay up for me.”

She replied, “Okay, I got it.”

John had always been a busy man, a fact he did not have to specially remind her of. His busy schedule had nothing to do with her.

In fact, she was not bored at all because Logan had texted her early in the morning, inviting her to visit him at the clubhouse.

Sophia looked forward to the trip because she was now single and free. Therefore, she wanted to enjoy the food, the gambling, and the men… No, just the food and the fun.

The pair finished their breakfast in silence. John quickly gathered his stuff and prepared to leave. Before he left the house, he glanced at her again. “Just help me to pick out a gift for Uncle Owen’s birthday. I’ll tip you for the work.”

Sophia was taken aback but soon smirked at him. “Sure.”

When he got a swift agreement from her end, he smiled and said, “I don’t want cufflinks.”

Since Sophia did not say anything about it, John left the house for work. She waited until he was far gone before softly spitting in the direction he went.

She was in a foul mood because he had destroyed the atmosphere at breakfast. How did she even fall for a man like him?
