The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Without replying to their messages, Sophia went downstairs with her cell phone in hand. After eating a simple breakfast, she then lay down on the yoga mat and stared at the chandelier on the ceiling. Back when I was in the village, I had endless tasks every day.

At that time, I wondered how nice it’d be if I could just lie down peacefully like this and do nothing one day. Now, this dream has come true, but I find that it’s actually quite boring to just lie down leisurely.

She warily sat up at once, for she couldn’t help thinking that Mrs. Constance was back after having lost to her the previous time. When she caught sight of the person who alighted from the car, her brows slowly creased.

Constance nodded. “It’s good that you changed
