The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

After putting Logan down with her insult, Sophia reached out for her phone and looked at it. “Alright, it’s about time for me to go. I still have to accompany John’s grandma to the monastery later.”

Logan disapproved of Sophia’s action and said, “Come on, are you serious about hanging out with his grandma? You guys are still acting like a married couple. What difference did your divorce make?”

In fact, Logan wasn’t alone because Sophia felt the same way. Something has been wrong with John for the past two days. Furthermore, it didn’t seem right for him to come over to dine with me like the divorce was for nothing. No way! This is not who I am, and I must put a stop to this. I used to think there was still a chance for us to work things out, but now, I’ve changed my mind.

The next moment, Sophia pursed her lips and said, “In that case, I guess I know what to do now.” Then, she flagged down a cab and told the driver the address of her destination. Although she could have saved the trouble if she had taken the ride of Old Mrs. Constance’s driver, she insisted on heading to the Constance Residence by herself. Upon arrival, Sophia didn’t enter the residence but instead waited outside the entrance. It was only when Old Mrs. Constance’s car came out that she entered it.

As soon as they both saw each other, Old Mrs. Constance excitedly held her hands. “Why didn’t you come inside? What were you waiting for?”

Sophia looked down and smiled. “Nothing.”

Old Mrs. Constance sighed and said, “I was initially planning to visit the monastery with John, but it looks like he’s been busy with work recently.”

Oh dear! I hope he doesn’t tag along because I don’t want to see him. Noticing Sophia’s silence, Old Mrs. Constance didn’t say a single word more.
