The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Logan was indeed a master at creating the perfect atmosphere—he ordered the staff to set up a grill. Even if one was not hungry, he or she could take a few bites along with the others, and barbeque always went well with alcohol. The three of them went up and sat down around the table.

Ian poured some juice for Sophia and said, “When I first left for the training, everything was still fine. After my return, I found out that you’re going to be a mother. I’m not even sure if I should be happy for you or feel sad for myself.”

His words made her feel uncomfortable and awkward. Therefore, she lifted her glass of juice, looking straight at him. “I have always considered you as a good friend. You always show up when I’m at my lowest point, and you lend an ear to the hidden feelings that I have never shared with anyone else. From that moment onward, Ian, you have become a special existence in my life. But…”

She looked down at the glass in her hand and gulped the juice in one go. Since she was prohibited from consuming alcohol, she substituted it with juice. “But my heart belongs to someone else.”

Yes, it was true that her heart belonged to someone else. Although the man was a horrible jerk, she could not forget him.

The first awakening of love took time to die down, and one’s first love was hard to forget.
