The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sighing, she went on, “Furthermore, someone is obviously doing nasty things in the dark and wants to harm you. Do you have any idea what would happen if that person catches up with you if you leave this place? Just the thought of it is terrifying.”

Tightening her lips into a thin line, Sophia did think about this point as well yesterday.

It’s not fair that you’re keeping this from him.” Without waiting for a reply, she continued, “It’s true that John didn’t care about you in the past, and we all know that this made your heart uncomfortable and flustered. You can get back at him in other ways for it, but you really shouldn’t do that with this issue.
