The Returning Ex

Chapter 934

Sophia treated everyone around her very well, except for John, whom she was pretty harsh toward. While sitting in the garden earlier, she had been reflecting on this.

People were often like this; they often treated those whom they cared about or those who cared about themselves harshly. On the other hand, they were more tolerant toward other people around them.

This was not a good thing.

Sophia took the phone and walked outside the main building. By then, the call had stopped.

So, she called John back.

John immediately picked it up over there. With a smile, he asked her what she was doing. Sophia’s voice sounded very gentle as she told him that she was having lunch with Old Mrs. Constance and Matilda.

John was smart enough to tell from Sophia’s voice that she was showing him some leniency. So, he quickly explained why he didn’t go home at noon on this day. He said he was eating out with Zack.

Sophia chuckled. “I know. I understand that you’re busy over there. It doesn’t matter. In fact, you don’t have to come back at noon all the time. Your break isn’t that long; don’t waste it travelling back and forth.”

John lowered his voice. “But I want to see you.” His flirtatious words came anytime and anywhere, and Sophia was already used to it. So, she simply said, “We can do video calls instead.”

She sensed that John was standing up and leaving his initial position. Then, there was some sort of echo over there before John began to speak again. “I may have to be in frequent contact with Isabelle soon. She has investigated some matters about her grandfather, and the two of us have to share the information. I’m telling you this in advance because I’m afraid you’ll be upset about it.”

Hmph. Will he stop communicating with the person if I’m unhappy about it? Still, Sophia didn’t voice out what she thought. Instead, she took a deep breath and said, “I hope you two will talk in front of me in the future. It’s not that I’m worried about what you’ll do. I just felt really uncomfortable and I couldn’t sleep well last night.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

John laughed as soon as she said this. Finally, he felt that a burden had been lifted from his heart. As he agreed, he tentatively said, “Then I will meet her in the Constance Residence right in front of you, okay?”

Sophia laughed. “Of course, if Isabelle is willing.” But she had a feeling that Isabelle would not be willing to do so.

The phone conversation went well. Although they didn’t talk much, the atmosphere was good. John and Sophia hadn’t finished their meals respectively, so they hung up after a few more words.

Squeezing the phone, Sophia felt a little better in her heart. Hence, she turned around and went back into the house.

On the other side, John held his phone and stood in front of the restaurant for a while.

Shortly after, he saw someone wandering toward his car. The man walked to the car, stopped, and looked around.

As a result, he saw John standing in front of the restaurant. Taken aback, the man hurriedly pretended to straighten his clothes before turning around and leaving.

John almost laughed out loud. Where do these people come from? All of them are so rubbish at what they do. They have given the game away even before doing anything.

Then, he took out his cigarette case, removed a cigarette and held it between his teeth, but he did not light it. On the contrary, he simply stood here and continued to stare after the man, who walked for a while before literally running away.

John waited for a moment and saw that there was nobody following up on the incident. So, he turned around and entered the restaurant.

Waiting inside, Zack was already feeling a little bored. When he saw John coming in, he was just about to speak when John said, “After lunch, get someone to obtain the footage from the surveillance camera on my car and investigate the guy who went near it.”

Zack reacted quickly. “Are there still people who dare to tail us? I’m sure they don’t know what’s in store for them, or they wouldn’t have dared.”
