The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 132

John stared at the message for a while, and he could imagine how smug she must look right now.

Then, he went to sit on the chair in the garden.

Sophia used to sit here before as she dangled her legs and looked like a free spirit back then. Standing

at the garden’s edge, Dylan looked back at John. He snickered silently, then he left. John called

Sophia.

Sophia expected him to call, for the Constances had to make sure she was appeased with how the

current condition was going; they needed her after all. She didn’t pick it up the first time on purpose, but

then he called the second time. Now, she slowly picked it up. “Anything?” Sophia asked calmly.

John was reminded of what Dylan said, and he was unnerved. Even though he wasn’t feeling sorry for

Sophia, he remembered what she told him: she suffered every unfair treatment because of him. John

felt guilty about that, for he promised his grandfather to take care of her, but he never did that.

Sophia got impatient when he said nothing. “Your mom came to apologize today. If you called me just

because you’re worried I might go back on my promise, then don’t. I keep my promises.”

“No,” John said. “Well, I just found out you suffered because of me, and it’s my fault.”

Sophia was surprised, then she laughed. “Your apology…” She clicked her tongue. “It’s late.” If he had

said that when they were married, she would have held on.

John kept quiet; he knew her life was a mess, but he didn’t expect it to be this big of a mess. Since this

was an oversight on his part, he had nothing to say for himself.

When he fell quiet again, Sophia sighed. “What do you want to talk about?”

John held up for a moment more. “I told them everything, so you don’t have to come back…”

Before he could finish, Sophia said, “Come over tomorrow. I don’t have your stuff here, so you’ll have to

prepare it yourself.”

John didn’t say what he wanted.

Sophia stared at the TV. “I hope you can settle matters as soon as possible at your company. We’ll

have our release then.” John still stayed quiet, so she sighed. “Let’s end this call if there’s nothing else.

I want to rest.”

John said okay and hung up, while Sophia put her phone on the sofa. She wasn’t sleepy to begin with,

but even if she did, his call would wake her up immediately. Sighing as she looked at her house, she

thought, Well, I’ll have one more person here, so it’ll be safer. And I can ask him to do anything. Nice.

She told herself that to comfort herself. Also,Matilda’s going to be annoyed for a long time now.

Awesome.

The Constance Family had a rule that stated that everyone had to stay in the residence even if they

had their own families. This was what Old Mr. Constance said. She was just married back then, but he

was already bedridden. Worried she might be scoffed at, he called everyone to his bed to say that

everyone had to live in the residence and help each other no matter what. Those people were greater NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

actors than she was, so they agreed readily, but the moment nobody was looking, they changed their

tune.

Sophia was angered at the thought of that, so she broke the family rule. Now, she wasn’t a part of

them, but John was. Since John now had to come to live outside because of her, Sophia thought

Matilda should know the consequences of angering her.
