The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Although the mansion had only a few residents, the breakfast was still a sumptuous spread consisting of both the local and Western style delicacies. John sat down and took an empty plate on which he placed some toasts, eggs and ham.

After glancing at the plate for several seconds, he put them back again when he saw that there were congee and buns on the other end of the table. Then, he poured himself a bowl of congee and took some buns to his seat where he slowly enjoyed the food.

Old Mrs. Constance did not follow him to the dining hall because she had eaten. After devouring a bun, a bowl of congee and some mixed vegetables, he leaned on the chair and chilled out. It was his first time having such a satisfying meal as breakfast. Then, he headed out after a short rest.

Old Mrs. Constance, who was still standing in the living room, smiled when she saw him leaving. “Don’t worry, everything will be alright,” she told him.

John nodded at her because he wasn’t actually worried about anything. He was just feeling upset deep down inside. Along his way to the garage, he bumped into his Uncle Owen and Dylan, who were surprised to see him. His Uncle Owen had become very friendly with Sophia ever since she sent him a tea set as a gift. He let out a sigh and lamented, “It’s a shame that Sophia and you ended up this way.”

Instead of responding to him, John simply stared at Dylan, who had on a completely different expression compared to his father. He was smiling craftily. After Uncle Owen left in his car, Dylan stood beside his own car and stared at John. “The Baileys will be here today and I suppose Isabelle will come looking for you. Guess they want to have a discussion about how Isabelle and you are going to offer an explanation to the public.”

John frowned in confusion as he didn’t see the need for a discussion. They just had to explain things as it was, which was telling the public that they were only meeting each other for a business discussion. After John got into his car, Dylan raised his voice to ask him, “Have you explained anything to Sophia?”

looked dumbfounded because it was only then did he realize he had not told Sophia the reason why he had appeared with Isabelle at the place. However, his eyes clouded over because it seemed like an explanation was redundant
