The Returning Ex

The Returning Ex Chapter 1022

With a smile, Sophia said, “I’m still alright. John told me that he wanted to stop work temporarily to keep me company until the child is born, but I don’t think it’s a good idea. If he stays with me all the time, I’ll probably find him irritating very soon.” Upon finishing her words, she burst into laughter.

Old Mrs. Constance knew that Sophia was just trying to come up with an excuse for John, so she grinned and said, “It’s said that familiarity breeds contempt. I think they’re getting along pretty well in their current state. John can be clingy sometimes, so if he’s free to keep Sophia company all the time, she will grow sick of him soon.”

With a smirk, Sophia went along by saying, “You’re right. Unlike his past self, he’s very clingy nowadays.”

On the other hand, Third Mrs. Blackwell teased, “That’s because he loves you. We all know what John was like in the past. He was an impassive man who never even smiled. If he’s started being all needy and clingy, it means that you’re very important to him.”

Seeing as the topic was successfully changed, Sophia lowered her gaze and thought about John, who was troubled by not company matters but the task of destroying the Baileys.

The Baileys… It’s not easy to bring down such a powerful family. Sophia let out a breath.

Meanwhile, John was at the warehouse instead of at work. His subordinate showed him the bone, which was clearly not an animal bone, found in the basement of the shadow bank.

John unrolled the cloth that was wrapped around the bone and inspected it. With a frown, he said, “It seems to be a human leg bone.”

The subordinate nodded. “We think so too. After we found this bone last night, we went on to look around the basement, but we couldn’t find anything else. I think this bone was accidentally left behind

by those from the shadow bank when they went to empty out the place.”

The bone was buried in the soil. If they were not careful enough, they wouldn’t have found it.

After examining the bone for a while, John concluded that it was the leg bone of an adult. Then, he passed the bone to his subordinate and said, “Bury the bone back where it was. I’ll handle the rest.”

Hearing this, the subordinate wrapped up the bone and executed his order.

After waiting for a bit, John called Logan, who was still deep in his sleep in broad daylight.

When the call was connected, John said, “There’s something I need to discuss with you, so I’m going to your clubhouse later.” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing that, Logan became energized in an instant and said, “It’s because we didn’t get to meet each other last night, right? Alright. Please come now. I have to call Lola to come over as well. Yesterday, she blamed me for being unreliable, so I have to prove her wrong.”

John didn’t stop him because he needed Lola’s help to find out more about the bone.

After the call ended, John gave an order to his subordinates and drove his car to Logan’s clubhouse.

However, on the way to his destination, he noticed that two cars were trying to sandwich his vehicle. Rather than harming John, they seemed to be trying to stop his car.

Having figured who they worked for, John pulled up his car on the roadside, as he was curious about what they intended to do. Upon getting out of the car, he leaned against the door and watched the approaching vehicles with a smile.
