The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

After waiting for a while, Sophia asked in a subdued voice with much reluctance, “I know what’s going on even if you didn’t tell me anything. Do you think you could hide the truth from me?”

John responded to her with a smile. “Let’s sit down over there.” Then, he made a gesture to loop his hand around her shoulder. Despite its innocuous nature, people could read into it from multiple perspectives because of John and Sophia’s relationship.

There were a lot of journalists present during Kate’s birthday party, as she used to be a famous actress when she was young, but she had quit acting after that to focus on her family. Therefore, she intended to revisit her younger years during her eightieth birthday, which was why a few media agencies were invited to the occasion, who without a doubt had captured John and Sophia’s interaction on camera.

The both of them walked over before sitting down beside Logan and Isabelle on the sofa. There was space between Logan and Isabelle, so Sophia sat down beside Logan, while John sat between her and Isabelle.

It was in fact Isabelle’s intention to have the press witness the scene of the three of them sitting together. Her reputation was at risk after what happened, so she hired a group of ghostwriters to clear things up for her, but her plan seemed to have backfired on her, as the negative comments about her only grew compared to the ghostwriter’s comments. The only way to go about it was to make use of the news to clear her name. The sight of the three of them sitting together in harmony would definitely clear things up in Isabelle’s favor.

After scanning her surroundings, Sophia asked, “What’s coming up next? Are we going to sit here till nightfall?” If that was the case, she would rather go home.

It was John who answered her question while leaning closer toward Sophia. “The banquet will be starting soon, followed by a lottery session. I heard that the prizes are lavish.”
