The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Dylan grunted. “Certainly, the blind dates didn’t go well because I’m not really looking for a girlfriend.” Upon finishing his words, he turned to John with a faint smile.

After a pause, he added, “We have to be absolutely clear about the kind of women we love, otherwise we’ll be prone to making mistakes. Since I was certain that I didn’t like those women, I made it clear to them.”

Clenching the cup in his hand, John turned to him. “I’m glad you understand yourself so well when it comes to your preference for women.”

Dylan giggled. “Yes, I learned it the hard way after losing someone important.”

John’s eyebrows furrowed. Since he wasn’t in frequent contact with Dylan, he didn’t realize that the latter loved to speak in such an oblique manner. It then dawned on John that since his divorce, Dylan’s words would always contain hidden meaning whenever they had a chat.

Putting on a smile, John replied, “That might be a blessing in disguise. You should make it clear to your mother as well, otherwise she’ll force you to fall in love with one of those women.”

After staring at John for a while, Dylan nodded. “You’re right. I should share my thoughts with my mom.”

John fell silent, and Dylan left the pantry after swigging his water. Watching Dylan leave through the window, John’s eyes slowly turned somber.

After John got off work and left the company, he decided to drive his car to Sophia’s shop since he wasn’t in a rush. When passing by the shop, he slowed down the car, rolled down the window, and peered into her shop.
