The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Since when did I start feeling safe around John? She thought about it long and hard before reaching the conclusion that it might’ve happened when John went after her all the way to her village. Back then, she was all alone, feeling unwell both physically and emotionally when he popped up.

Standing by the car, he looked all haggard from all the traveling he had done to reach there, telling her that he went after her as he was concerned for her. Sophia had to admit that she was touched by his actions. He had to cover all that distance without someone to guide him, which probably gave him a hard time. There had always been a special place for him in her heart, so she couldn’t possibly be unaffected by what he did.

Robin leaned into her chair while joking, “I like men like John. He is capable and extremely handsome. I wouldn’t need to worry about anything when I’m with him, as he could handle it all on his own.”

Smiling, Sophia begged to differ. “You must be overestimating him. He couldn’t deal with his own mother at all.”

Admittedly, even William had a hard time dealing with her, say less of John. At the mention of Matilda, Sophia was suddenly feeling a little awkward. She could see Matilda was trying to be nice to her, but she had a hard time adjusting to the sudden change in Matilda’s attitude as they had always been on bad terms.

Sophia drank the soup while chatting with Robin, and she ended up finishing it all. Leaning into her chair with a bloated stomach, she commented, “I’m definitely gonna gain weight after drinking all of this.”

It elicited a laugh from Robin. “It seems that what your ex-mother-in-law made is to your taste.” After that, she went to wash the container before watching Sophia from beside the bar counter. “Lincoln would like me to meet his parents, but I’m a little hesitant. Isn’t this going a little too fast?” Lincoln was the young man whom Robin had been dating.
