The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sitting next to the dance floor, Isabelle refused to let her guard down even for a second, even though she couldn’t see John and Sophia very well from the flickering lights which shone down on the dance floor.

Now, she couldn’t understand John and didn’t know what he was trying to do anymore. Is he trying to create an image that he’s an affectionate person?

Still, he didn’t need to do that because they had gone to great lengths to make the news of the divorce public.

While the flickering lights were hurting her eyes, a woman on the dance floor who knew her came over and invited her to dance along. “Miss Bailey, come and have some fun. Look how much everyone is enjoying themselves. It’s boring to sit over there by yourself.”

Usually, Isabelle wouldn’t mingle with these people because she didn’t like crowds, and such a scene always annoyed her. However, it was different on this day, so she smiled at the invite. “Alright. I’m tempted to join when I see you guys having so much fun,” she said. Lifting the hem of her dress, she went to the dance floor.

Of course, the women couldn’t be dancing like the men who were shaking their heads wildly, but everyone knew how to dance. Besides Sophia, probably everyone else on the dance floor were socialites from well-to-do families who had learned etiquettes and everything related to socializing. Naturally, dancing was also a part of it.

The moment she was on the dance floor, she slithered toward John and Sophia’s direction. She saw that they seemed to be engrossed in their own world, undisturbed by others around them as they ballroom danced to their own rhythm, not even noticing that she was just standing right next to them.

However, when the lights hit their way, she could see an impatient look on Sophia’s face, while John was beaming the whole time, appearing genuinely happy.
