The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Pressing her lips together, Sophia thought aloud, “I’m doing fine now, and life has been fulfilling for me. In fact, I’m really grateful toward John. If it weren’t because of his generosity, with my capabilities, academic qualification, or even my networks, I wouldn’t have accomplished what I’ve today. Everything I have today, I owe it all to John, so I won’t blame him for what he had done in the past.”

Though she was smiling, her eyes began to turn red.

Taking in a deep breath, she said, “Old Mr. Constance, you and my grandpa often catch up with one another, right? If you see him, please tell him that I miss him very much and I’m doing well, so he doesn’t need to worry. As for the two who don’t have a conscience, well… I still have no news about them. Then again, it’s for the better because I don’t really want to see them, and I don’t need them anyway.”

With that, Sophia continued to ramble about the incident that took place in the Blackwell Family.

Beaming, she went on and chatted, “Ever since my divorce with John, I feel like I’ve become quite popular among my friends because a couple of them actually approached me. To be honest, I’m not really used to the attention, and I’d rather live my life without disturbance.”

Without anyone listening, Sophia continued to yack her head off, pouring out her heart toward the pile of bones that were buried under the grave.

Not knowing how long time had passed, Sophia bid Old Mr. Constance farewell. After arranging Matilda’s and her flowers nicely on the grave, she left.

Walking down the hill, Sophia headed toward the taxi that was waiting downhill. Leaning against the passenger seat, she turned around to gaze at the cemetery.

All humans strive throughout life, but ultimately, end up in a small spot such as this.

“Let’s go,” Sophia requested.

As soon as the taxi had arrived at the shop, Sophia saw Robin boxing up some pastries for a customer. Noticing the bright smile on her face, Sophia asked, “Are you in love? You’re smiling like a Cheshire cat.”
