The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

For the next two days, John didn’t show up at all. He was probably busy dealing with the sordid affairs related to his family. At night, when Sophia closed the store and was about to part ways with Robin at the entrance, the latter turned around to look at her. After some consideration, she said, “Sophia, when I came in for work last time, I saw Mr. Constance and another woman having breakfast together. I thought it over for a while and decided to tell you.”

Astonished, Sophia turned to stare at Robin. A pause later, she said, “It’s normal. John is popular among ladies. It’s not abnormal to see him with a woman.”

Robin observed her face. “Aren’t you sad? I thought you haven’t let go of him.”

Faced with Robin’s words, Sophia laughed. “I’m not sad, for I’ve started my new life. As for John, well, he is history.”

Robin seemed relieved after getting the response. “I was hesitating to tell you. Maybe I was overthinking.”

After they parted ways, Sophia didn’t hail a cab but walked down the path leading home. If John had breakfast with a woman, it must’ve been Isabelle. There could be no one else. Well, that’s good. It’s really good.

The next day, Sophia went to work, and she saw someone at the storefront as she approached the entrance. Feeling surprised, she slowly walked up, and her face fell when she registered the identity of the curious passerby.

Matilda was staring at the sign of her store deep in thoughts. Sophia stood beside and remained silent, waiting for the lady to notice her. After observing the sign for some time, Matilda finally turned around and was instantly shocked by Sophia’s presence, which prompted her to snap, “Why are you standing there like a ghost? Are you trying to scare me to death?”
