The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

On the other hand, Isabelle was beginning to feel worried deep down as she recalled that John had seen and known Dexter. He must have seen someone who looks exactly like Dexter, or he wouldn’t have called. At the thought of that, Isabelle quickly called Dexter’s school to confirm her suspicion.

The teacher’s reply unnerved Isabelle even more, so she quickly asked the schoolteacher to help find Dexter. After that, she made another call to Dexter, but to no avail, as no one picked up the phone. Soon, she anxiously stood up and left her office in a hurry, running into Old Mr. Bailey in the corridor.
