The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia clicked her tongue while frowning, but quickly made sure to wipe it off her face. John sure is a shifty b*stard. He never would’ve said so in the past, as he used to be so calculating.

Having said so, John stared straight into Sophia’s eyes, which made her get goosebumps. He looked conniving yet hesitant at the same time, but no matter the case, he surely wasn’t up to anything good. He let out a silent laugh before averting his gaze moments later. Truth be told, he wasn’t even scheming on anything. Instead, he was doing it for fun.

Logan’s call came in after they spent some time in Sophia’s house, during which he scolded that b*stard from the Poole Family for framing him. As soon as Sophia heard what Logan said, she asked, “Are you set free?”

“Of course! Lorraine came to bail me.” He sounded rather indignant. “Where are you? I’ll come look for you now.”

With that, Sophia had him come to her place before hanging up, while John was sitting crossed-legged when he spoke, “Lorraine sure is getting more and more capable.” She needed more time back then to bail Logan out.

A frown formed on Sophia’s face when she said, “You need to make a thorough investigation to check if Simon and Sally are behind this.”

John gave her a hum. “Don’t worry. I will not let them off the hook since you are implicated by the incident.”

With a pout on her face, Sophia observed John closely, but her mind was clouded in confusion. His words always seemed to be implying something, as if he had something else in mind while speaking. Ever since last night, I had a feeling that what he said didn’t sound straightforward at all.
