The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Old Mrs. Constance was stunned upon hearing that. “I can’t believe such an evil soul exists in this world. Why don’t you just give that person some money? I’m afraid this problem will escalate if it drags on.”

John heaved a sigh. “It isn’t so easy. The person is greedy.”

Indeed, he had thought about giving the woman some money to brush her off. After all, she was Sophia’s mother. However, he knew that if Sophia found out about it in the future, she would blame him. She was the woman he loved the most, so he didn’t have the courage to take the risk.

After Sophia got changed, she came downstairs. Appearing to be clean cut, she said, “Let’s go.”

Her outfit amused John, for she looked like a fierce woman who was going to get even with someone.

In a lowered voice, Old Mrs. Constance told John, “You have to keep watch on her. Sophia may put her guard down when dealing with a relative. If something goes wrong, that person may harm Sophia. You have to protect her.”

John nodded. “I understand. Don’t worry.”

Without waiting for John, Sophia reached for the car park. In reality, she wasn’t keen on meeting that woman. She just wanted to settle the problem as quickly as possible. If this matter drags on, it’ll remain a thorn in my heart, Sophia thought while waiting for John by the car.
