The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

John said he hadn’t had his breakfast yet. Letting out a sigh, Sophia suggested, “Why don’t grab a bite before you go? Food is almost ready anyway.”

John put down the suitcase by the door and answered without hesitation, “Okay.”

While Sophia returned to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, he waited at the dining hall. Sophia was wondering why he was so wishy-washy when it came to moving out of the place but so decisive when he decided to divorce her.

When the food was ready, she brought it to the dining hall. Seeing that John was not in a great mood, she decided to stay quiet. She had prepared a simple breakfast consisting of sausages, eggs and two sides.

Which was why there was no bread and milk. If he didn’t like it, he could leave it. To her surprise, he actually ate quite a lot from the food she prepared this time. She was unsure whether it was because he was just famished because he had skipped dinner last night, or it was because she had become a better cook.

Sophia smiled at him and said, “Please be careful on the road.”
