The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Robin sighed. “You’ve spent so many days just to make the journey, so you must be feeling bone-weary.”

Actually, it doesn’t really matter whether I’m weary. Sophia then inquired about the shop, upon which Robin chortled. “With me here, you can rest assured. I’m an expert now, so I can manage everything myself. Just stay there however long you want. You don’t need to worry about things over here.”

Sophia licked her lips. “Thank you.”

Robin laughed. “Why are you thanking me? I’m happy to be working with you in the shop. I don’t have many skills to boast of, so I certainly won’t be able to find a decent job out there. Plus, I love doing this, so I’m very happy here.”

As Sophia sighed, she then heard Robin continuing, “By the way, my family arranged a blind date for me. I’ll be going on the date today, so I’ll secretly snap a photo and send it to you. Help me to evaluate him as well, okay?”

Surprise inundated Sophia. “A blind date? Is that necessary? You’re still young.”

To that, Robin exclaimed, “Of course. Why is it not necessary? I can only rely on my family to find me someone now since I definitely can’t find someone on my own.”

However, Sophia recalled her bouts of distractedness and inexplicable giggling before this. She clearly has feelings for someone, so why is she going on a blind date in the blink of an eye? After a long pause, she replied, “If you go on a blind date, the emotional foundation might not be very strong in the beginning. It can only be nurtured slowly, so you must brace yourself for this.”

Gwendolyn’s grave was very simple. Unlike the ones in the big cities, the tomb here was only a small dirt patch without any tombstone. A wooden plank with the deceased’s name was skewered on top of the small dirt patch with no mention of the date of birth and the like. Sophia still remembered her grandfather’s grave, so she went in search of it. However, the small dirt patch was all but indiscernible, having been leveled by the rain. Fortunately, there was still
