The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia racked her brains, but she still could not understand what happened last night, so she ended her call with the clueless Logan. Then, she had a simple breakfast and went out to water her flowers, which was when she instantly noticed the shattered phone in her garden.

She went over and picked it up, only to recognize that it was Ian’s phone; even the SIM card was still in there. It was no wonder he was unreachable.

Things started piecing together in her mind. She clutched the shattered phone and thought about it for some time before making a call to John at last. Unexpectedly, her first call was not picked up. Huh, he’s really something.

Feeling persistent, she made another call to him, which was finally picked up. John intentionally lowered his volume as he said, “I’m busy right now. Talk to you later.”

She followed suit and lowered her volume as well. “Did you send me home last night?”

John went silent on the other side and she could vaguely hear someone else talking in the background. He must be in a meeting. Thus, she closed her eyes and said to him, “Alright. I’ll talk to you when you’re free.”

Then, she hung up on him and wandered over to sit on the sofa, where she started spacing out. Since the SIM card was still in the phone, she felt that she should return it to Ian.

Despite having waited for quite a while, Sophia did not receive any callback from John, so she gave it some thought and took a cab to Logan’s place. Right now, Ian was not staying with the Morgans. Sometimes, he would stay over at Logan’s clubhouse.

When she arrived, Logan was still in bed. A waiter went in to wake him up, after which he walked out barefooted in his pajamas. “What is it? Why are you here so early in the morning?”
