The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia nodded at him. “Go ahead then.”

With that, she made her way to the dining hall. John happened to have made it back with the divorce certificate and divorce agreement in his hands by the time she walked out again.

At the same time, Logan and Ian were serving food to the dining table.

Logan greeted John as soon as he saw him, “Come over here, John. You’re here at the right time because we’ve prepared a lot of food today for the steamboat.”

Sophia cast Logan an inquisitive glance as she wondered what was in his mind.

Didn’t he know how things were currently between John and her? Why did he behave as though nothing had happened?

John first looked at Ian before answering with a smile, “I’m afraid I can’t stay because I still have something to attend to. Please enjoy yourselves.”

Sophia, who could detect that he sounded a little upset when he said the last three words, cast him a glance but didn’t make any comment.

John then left the place with the stuff and got into his car which was parked in front of the gate. Then, he drove for some distance away before pulling to a stop again.

Inside the car, he lit up a cigarette as he observed Sophia’s place from the rearview mirror.

It seemed like their divorce had really freed Sophia from misery because she looked so much happier than before.
