The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Isabelle felt that she hadn’t done anything heinous to warrant such an attitude from John. Besides, their relationship had been fine all along. Even though it wasn’t especially great, he had always been gracious to her.

How could their relationship suddenly take a nosedive just after the incident at the hospital? He didn’t even care to find out the truth and simply distanced himself from her just like that.

Isabelle pursed her mouth and took a few deep breaths before she stood up. “Okay, then please carry on with your work. I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”

John didn’t say anything and only looked down at his file. Feeling a little embarrassed, Isabelle got up and gave him a last glance before leaving.

Upon leaving the Constance Group, Isabelle felt irritated and uneasy in her heart. She didn’t drive away at once but took out her phone and dialed a number.

Squeezing her phone, she looked at the number for a long time. At this hour, Isabelle should be at work, so where did she find the time to call me? In the past, she was so busy she didn’t even have time after getting off work. Yet now she’s not busy anymore.

Matilda ruminated about the past before answering the phone. Isabelle’s cheery voice drifted over as she asked what Matilda was doing.
