The Returning Ex

The Returning Ex Chapter 1254

As Lorraine only vaguely knew about what happened between Sophia and John, she hesitated before saying, “You guys started off differently from others. I’ve encountered John before and know that he’s not a man to fall in love at first sight. For people like us who are in the business world, we’re mostly level-headed and don’t believe in irrational emotions. Just keep your focus on his attitude toward you now and that’s all that matters.”

Of course, John was naturally treating her really well now, so well that she was getting a little sick of it. John didn’t go to the company now, and spent all his time with her. In the beginning, she felt rather blissful, but as time went by, there were times when she would find him a nuisance.

Coupled with her reaction during pregnancy when she couldn’t decide on her emotions, she was really irritated to see him next to her sometimes.

Meanwhile in another corner, John had joined Logan and his brothers-in-law at the door. The men were chatting and laughing in the beginning, then they started to make fun of each other’s status in the family.

All of them were doing rather well in the business world, but they were picked on when they returned home. As Lorraine had a rather aggressive personality, the status of her husband, Daniel, was beyond low.

In a hushed voice, Daniel told Logan, “Listen, I’m the only one in this world who can take Lorraine’s temper. Even my child is wondering what he had done in his previous life that he’s now her son.”

Laughing out loud, Logan said, “Don’t even mention that to me. My father will sometimes wonder how he fathered such a short-tempered daughter.”

Lorraine never used to hold back her temper from anyone, so she would even get into a heated argument with Old Mr. Jefferson sometimes. More often than not, he would be hopping mad in anger

and couldn’t understand why he would have such a hot-tempered daughter when both himself and his wife were good-natured people.

While they were chatting, John stole a glance at the couch and saw Sophia speaking to Lorraine with a bright smile on her face.

Earlier, they had exchanged a few angry words over the topic of Ian, and she had given him a sour face on the way here. Now that they were here, she immediately smiled at others.

What a heartless woman, he grumbled. She’s really disregarding me more and more now.

Ian finally showed up when the food was prepared, and it was obvious from the makeup on his face that he had just returned from a long journey. Logan called out to him when he walked into the yard and ran over to him.

As Logan was quite loud, Sophia could hear him from the couch as well, and even before her brain could register what was happening, her body was already getting up and walking toward the door.

John stood by the door with his eyes fixed on her and a nonchalant look on his face. He waited patiently until she reached the door before saying, “Why are you in such a rush? You don’t have to worry about not meeting him since he’s already here.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Casting him an annoyed look, she spat, “I’m not rushing. I’m just here to take a look.”

Since she sounded displeased, he didn’t say anything else anymore as she brushed past him and went outside.

When she saw Ian, she felt that he appeared more calm than before. Perhaps it was from the makeup, but he looked slightly different from usual.

After giving Logan a hug, Ian then lifted his gaze and saw her.
