The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Pursing her lips, Mrs. Constance looked pitiful.

John nodded before bidding Old Mrs. Constance and Mrs. Constance farewell. “I’ll be heading back now. Since Uncle Owen’s birthday is coming soon, I’ll come over with Sophia by then.”

Smilingly, Old Mrs. Constance replied, “Alright. Drive safe.”

However, Mrs. Constance still felt reluctant so she sent John off to where he parked his car.

After pondering for a moment, John turned to Mrs. Constance. “I heard that Aunt Jennifer has already started selecting suitable girls for Dylan.”

Taken aback, Mrs. Constance nodded along. “Yeah. I heard that you have got someone to run background checks on a few girls. Looks like she’s serious about it.”

However, Mrs. Constance was annoyed at this. “Didn’t she say that Dylan didn’t want a family so early and he wasn’t rushing as he wanted to stabilize his work first? Why is she rushing now then? They can’t even hide their intentions well.”

There was no reply from John about it. “Well, Dylan is indeed at that age now. It’s normal to start looking for a companion.”

“What do you mean by ‘normal’? How is that normal? If it weren’t for their family, why would you end up with Sophia? Your planned marriage with Isabelle was completely destroyed because of this! I think that that family just doesn’t want us to have good things so they did it on purpose back then!” Mrs. Constance got pissed off everytime she thought about it.

Then, she muttered again, “They all obviously knew that you had a marriage arrangement. If they had really thought of us as a family, they wouldn’t have done that.”

Something in John’s expression changed before he explained a few seconds later, “I can understand why they did it in the first place. Who doesn’t think of themselves first before others? This is a matter of an eternity, so there isn’t any reason for Dylan to not be selfish after all.”
