The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sighing soundlessly, John retracted his gaze. Isabelle, on the other hand, pursed her lips, swallowing the words she initially wanted to say.

When the Baileys’ car had driven off, William and John headed back to the office. While walking, William said, “See whether there’s room for discussion with Sophia. It’s originally nothing too difficult, but your mother went over and assaulted her, aggravating the entire matter.” I wonder whether Sophia will be averse to this mess after the episode earlier. If so, it won’t be an easy task to ask for her help anymore.

Only when the two of them had entered the elevator did John reply, “I’ll talk to her later. She’s actually quite a reasonable person.”

William murmured an acknowledgment. Subsequently, he ordered in mild exasperation, “Don’t entertain your mother for the time being. Her attitude truly needs to be tempered. We’ve been too indulgent with her all these years that she hasn’t grown at all, her brains regressing from day to day.” John merely stared at the electronic screen in the elevator, watching as the numbers went up. His brows slowly creased, yet he said nothing, seemingly agreeing with William.

Meanwhile, Sophia lay on the bed and slept before she was groggily awakened by Logan’s phone call. She fumbled for her cell phone and glanced at the caller ID. Only when she’d ascertained that it was someone she knew did she answer the call. “Logan.”

“Are you awake? Where are you? Why don’t you come over to my place?” Logan was probably bored.

Sophia flipped over. “Nope, I want to sleep at home.”
