The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

John chuckled. “I’m not in a hurry, so there’s no rush for me.”

Lady Jennifer nodded. “If you’re interested in finding a life partner, I can help you out, too. I’m just afraid that your mother won’t fancy my choice and mistake me as being a busybody.”

At this, John guffawed. “My mother has a sharp tongue and isn’t quite good at expressing herself. Please don’t take offense to her rash words in the past.” Lady Jennifer then answered that she held no grudge since they were a family, but John could tell that she was truly upset.

After chatting with her for a while, Dylan came back from meeting a client. When he saw that Lady Jennifer was there upon his return, mild surprise showed on his face. He greeted his mother before glancing at John. Thus, John explained, “Aunt Jennifer has been here for some time now. She came specifically to see you.”

Upon hearing this, Dylan realized the purpose of her visit. She merely mentioned it in passing last night, yet she really moves fast. She’s here in less than a day’s time! Exasperation inundated him. “Don’t go to so much trouble, Mom. I know what to do about my own affairs. There’s already someone whom I like.”

Taken aback, Lady Jennifer stared at him. Beside her, John pinned his gaze on Dylan as well. “There’s someone whom you like? Who is it? Is it one of those girls whom I introduced to you in the past?” Lady Jennifer promptly questioned.

Dylan shook his head. “No, no, it’s not anyone whom you introduced to me. However, you are acquainted with her.” John’s heart jolted when he heard this remark, and his expression inadvertently darkened. Dylan, on the other hand, seemed to have noticed nothing, grinning still. His eyes fixed on Lady Jennifer, he added, “Anyhow, I’m keeping her identity secret for now. I’ll tell you who it is when I think the time is right.”

Lady Jennifer’s brows creased deeply. “Just who is it that you can’t tell me now? Are you so mysterious because her background is substandard?”
