The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

John observed Isabelle before replying, “My mother went back to her mother’s place as there are things she needs to tend to, so my mother isn’t currently staying at the Constance Residence.”

What John said startled Isabelle, but she quickly responded with a light ‘oh’. “I see, so that’s what’s going on… She invited me to pay her a visit at your place a few days ago, but she didn’t seem keen about it anymore, so I assumed she was feeling unwell, which worried me.”

Sophia rolled her eyes while she thought, So Matilda’s at her mother’s place… Judging from what she already knew of the situation, as well as her question toward John that went unanswered, the truth was evident to Sophia, which amused her. To her, the fact that Matilda finally received her karma was worth a celebration.

There was a gloating look on Sophia’s face when John looked her way, so he chided her softly, “Why are you laughing? Focus on eating your food.”

“Well, I’m happy. Why can’t I be happy about things?” Sophia lifted her chin in defiance. By lifting his hand, John wiped something away from the corner of Sophia’s lips, which surprised her so much that she backed away in reflex.

“There’s something at the corner of your lips, so why are you backing away?” John seemed unfazed by her reaction. After wiping her mouth, he took out his phone, as there seemed to be an incoming message. However, Sophia wasn’t planning on spending any more energy to play his games.

Meanwhile, Logan asked from beside her, “I wonder what Ian is doing in the clubhouse. Has he eaten though?”

After some thought, Sophia suggested, “Why don’t I ask him?” She then took out her phone, which John glanced at from the corner of his eyes before resuming to look at the screen of his own phone that was displaying a message from Zack about stuff from work.
