The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

However, Sophia had had enough of the Constances. Although Belinda was nice to her, memories of the awful year she spent in the Constance Residence was unbearable. It was the major reason that she didn’t want to remarry John, as she didn’t want to go through that kind of life ever again.

Besides, neither did she want the presence of a child to be a dictating factor to their marriage. Staring at Fabian, she asked, “Now that you know the truth, will you be tipping John off?”

With a smile, Fabian told her, “I don’t think I should be meddling in you and John’s business, so you should make your own choices. I won’t be tattling to anybody.” Sophia was feeling reassured by his promise.

However, he added, “Pregnancy will be happening across a long time, so you won’t be able to keep this a secret when your belly gets bigger and bigger in the later stages.”

Sophia had a similar concern, which was why she returned to her village to pay her respects to her late grandfather in the first place, as she figured she could use it as an opportunity to settle down there. However, not only did John find her, but Walter went after her as well, which meant that the village was no longer a safe haven for her.

Upon noticing Sophia’s silence, Fabian chuckled. “It’s okay. Let’s just go with the flow. Who knows; you might change your mind in a few days and end up sharing your good news with John, so let’s leave it as it is for now.”

With her lips pulled into a thin line, Sophia said nothing. When they reached Sophia’s shop, Fabian parked the car in front of the door. As soon as she got out of the car, she could see Robin and one more person in the shop. After bidding Fabian goodbye, she entered the shop.
