The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia nodded. “They passed away in an accident.”

Her answer elicited a stare from Old Mrs. Constance, for her husband told her before that Sophia’s parents dumped her. However, she wasn’t certain why Sophia’s parents did such a thing.

Sophia smiled. “I’m fine. It’s good to be alone as I don’t have to provide for my family. It’s easier this way.”

Feeling sorry for her, Old Mrs. Blackwell tightened her grip on Sophia’s hands. Since it was an unhappy topic, Old Mrs. Constance hurriedly talked about something else. As they chatted and laughed, the atmosphere slowly became eased.

When lunch was ready, Old Mrs. Constance, who was supported by a servant, said, “Let’s continue our chat over the meal.”

Sophia helped Old Mrs. Blackwell up. Before they could even take a step forward, John returned as he walked over and said, “Grandma, I left a document last night at—”

Then, he froze on the spot when he saw Sophia, his expression turning from serious to cold.

Sophia looked away. What the heck? Why do I always bump into him when I don’t want to see him?

John retracted his gaze as well. “Oh, there’s a guest in our house.”

“Ah.” Old Mrs. Constance explained, “Madam Blackwell is here to have lunch with Sophia.”
