The Returning Ex

Chapter 29

Everyone said an aloof man was more attractive than a passionate one. Sophia didn’t believe that, but when she saw John, she felt that they had a point. However, one of the reasons for that was that John was hot.

One look from him would deter everyone from getting closer, but Sophia was drawn in. She closed her eyes, thinking she was a failure. Being with someone like him would get her nothing but despair.

A moment later, someone knocked on the door. “Boss?” Zack lowered his voice.

John went to take it. Even though Sophia was naked, she still sat on the sofa, unafraid. John opened the door by a few millimeters and extended his hand to take the bag of clothes.

“Um, is Sophia walking normal?” Zack asked cheekily.

John frowned, and Zack hurriedly closed the door. Even though he lowered his voice, Sophia heard what he said. She pursed her lips and blushed. Even though she could flirt and talk dirty with John, that was only him. If it was someone else, she would blush.

Zack sent them two people’s worth of clothes. Then, John came over and handed Sophia’s clothes to her. “Wear it.”

She took it languidly.

John stood beside the table and put his bag on it before taking his clothes out. There was a pair of pants, a white shirt, and a pair of shoes inside. Then, Sophia looked at her clothes.

She had a lot in her bag, so Sophia put it all out on the sofa. There were her underwear, a short- sleeved shirt, a pair of short pants, and a pair of white shoes.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

John wore his clothes as quickly as he took it off. As he buttoned his clothes, John looked at what Zack brought for Sophia. Honestly, Zack’s aesthetics were… ahead of his time, for he had chosen some sexy underwear for Sophia, which made John frown.

Sophia picked it up and blushed. Why did he pick this for me? I mean, how could he buy this from the sales assistant with a straight face? She paused for a moment, but still, Sophia wore her clothes.

It fitted her perfectly, aside from her shoes. They were a bit big, but it didn’t hinder her. After she was done, Sophia stood up to walk around. “Alright. We can go now.”

John looked at her for a moment and nodded. It was still merry outside, so John went ahead of her and opened the door by a few centimeters. Zack was still outside, so when he saw the door being opened, he leaned closer to look at Sophia. “We can go now.”

Sophia felt unnerved, but she nodded in assent.

Zack looked at John. “We’ll go through the side door. Mr. McCaw is looking for you.”

John snorted. “Bold of him to look for me.”

Zack looked at Sophia and said, “Yeah.”

Sophia pretended she didn’t hear that. With Zack here, she couldn’t be too flirty. However, she would have teased John if they were alone. Zack brought them and left through the side gate, while a car waited for them outside.

Zack went to the passenger seat, while John and Sophia sat in the backseat. Exhausted, Sophia leaned against the door, while John took out his phone to text someone.

Zack looked at her through the rear-view mirror and gave her a thumbs up. After rolling her eyes, she looked outside. Everywhere felt sore for her, and she only wanted to sleep.

Now that she knew he only f*cked her under substance influence, all her mood was killed. She thought he had fallen for her charm back then, but now she knew she was thinking too much.
