The Returning Ex

Chapter 930

John leaned on the back of the chair and let out a long sigh. “On the contrary, I really wish for her to be angry, but that woman is so open-minded now. Even though I stayed in the study with Isabelle till late into the night yesterday, she wasn’t even mad about it. In fact, I was the one who became mad about it.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Shocked, Zack stared at John. “What did you and Isabelle do in the study so late at night?”

John took a document from the table and threw it at Zack. “What could we do? What else could I do with her? Obviously, we were discussing business matters.”

Zack hurriedly avoided the attack and then waved his hand. “Okay, okay. I get it. I get that you were discussing business matters. I’m sure you didn’t have time during the day, so you had to discuss at night right in front of Sophia. The two of you closed the door, right? There were only two of you, right? It’s okay. I’m certain that both of you were innocent and did not harbor any indecent thoughts. You guys didn’t do anything wrong. You don’t need to explain. No explanation needed. I totally understand.”

Zack clearly understood nothing, for every word he said was like a knife that stabbed at John’s heart, making him stand up angrily.

Seeing that, Zack hurried to the door. “Don’t be angry. I swear we’re of one mind. We still have to deal with those people in the Bailey Family, so we can’t have infighting.”

John stared at him. “I guess you don’t want an increment, eh?”

Back at the Constance Residence, Sophia was sitting in the garden, a little confused. Actually, there was nothing going on between John and Isabelle; she knew that. She could also somewhat understand why John did what he did.

Thus, Sophia reflected on herself and wondered if she had acted too apathetically recently. Is that why John was acting so childishly? But shouldn’t two people who have been together for a long time behave this way to each other? Did he really need to use Isabelle to upset me? He clearly knows that I’m not on good terms with Isabelle.

Sophia sat there for a while until her phone rang. It was Matilda who had called.

Sophia laughed immediately upon receiving Matilda’s call. Before Matilda could speak, she asked, “How was it? Have you been having a good life recently? Has Mr. Constance moved to your place for good?”

Matilda was at a loss for words. After hesitating for a long time, she said, “Why do you ask so much?”

Sophia laughed again. “I wanted to ask you a long time ago, but I haven’t had the time to. You’re totally asking for it by calling me yourself.” Then, she continued asking, “Did the relationship between you two improve? Have you thought about when you will remarry?”

Matilda went along with Sophia’s words by saying, “The two of us haven’t talked about remarriage yet. William came to my house yesterday. I don’t know what he talked about with my mother, but perhaps the matter of remarriage has to be delayed for a while more.” Matilda sighed and continued, “After all, our divorce wasn’t that long ago. If we remarry so soon, it may not look appropriate on the outside.”

Sophia sighed as well. “You two are really something to divorce and then remarry so quickly. It’s like you think this is all a joke.”

Matilda was a little displeased. “How are you in a position to criticize me? Look at you and John. After your divorce, you still live together. You even have a child with him now, but you still refuse to remarry. You guys treat this like a joke more than us.”

Sophia put her hands on her belly. “Yeah, maybe we won’t remarry even after the birth of our child. I’m thinking about how to answer the question our child would ask in the future about why we’re not husband and wife.”

When she heard that, Matilda’s eyes widened at the other end of the phone. “Are you honestly not gonna remarry him even after the child is all grown up? Let me tell you this; you really can’t be so headstrong. If you really wear out John’s patience one day, you’ll definitely regret it.”
