The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

However, she really wanted to find out the reason why he broke off the engagement. Was she not good enough for him? Why didn’t he fancy her? Isabelle’s eyes reddened a little at this point, but she still carried a smile. “Honestly, I envy Miss Gwendolyn a lot sometimes because she’s free to do whatever she wants without anyone controlling her.

Plus, people are always helping her out. Look, Logan and Ian are so kind to her, and it made me so envious. Not even my family has been that kind to me.” Then, she chuckled in a self-deprecating manner. “My family would only tell me what I’m not allowed to do.”

John thought for a while before saying, “Sophia isn’t enjoying as much freedom as you said. She’s actually having a rather hard time.” Looking at her, he suddenly didn’t know what would be appropriate to tell her now.

For a split second, Isabelle’s face froze. “She seems to be doing rather fine to me now, with Logan always by her side to protect her. Knowing his personality, she must be someone extraordinary to him if he’s that protective over her.”

In fact, Isabelle was probably the same kind of person as him. She was also living in a similar environment.

Did he get the hints I’m dropping? Isabelle wondered. John, on the other hand, merely smiled without uttering a word.

Drawing the conversation back to herself, she said, “That’s why I’m envious that she can be herself.”

John chuckled softly. “Sometimes when you can’t escape, then you should try to adapt slowly. If it’s possible, you can even learn to enjoy the situation.”
