The Returning Ex

Chapter 936

Zack smiled innocently. “It’s okay. We’re partners after all.” As he led Isabelle out, John laughed out loud. Although Zack was sometimes a little obtuse, he was quite quick-witted most of the time.

John had no idea how long Isabelle stayed in the Constance Group since he had been busy with his work until it was time to clock out.

As he left the office, Zack came out of his office as well, and the two of them met in the corridor. John asked him, “Where’s Isabelle? Is she still here?”

Zack frowned. “Wait a minute. I’ll go take a look.”

After all, it was impossible for him to pay strict attention to Isabelle’s movements all afternoon.

Then, Zack went to the meeting room and glanced in before shaking his head toward John from a distance away. His gesture meant that Isabelle had already left. Thus, John just nodded and went on to clock out.

When he drove home, Matilda had already left the Constance Residence, while Sophia and Old Mrs. Constance were strolling outside. The two of them were laughing about something they had said.

Standing next to the car door, John looked at the two of them over there, and his heart suddenly softened at the sight.

Actually, this was not the first time he had seen this scene before, but in the past, he had resisted Sophia from the bottom of his heart. So, whenever he saw her, he felt very irritable, which was why it was unlikely for him to remember anything that was good.

Sophia hadn’t noticed John, so in the end, he walked over to them.

At this moment, Dylan’s car drove in. He got out of the car and came toward the garden as well. When John walked to Sophia’s side, he turned his head and saw Dylan coming over. Laughing, he put his arm around Sophia and touched her belly with his other hand somewhat unconsciously. Then, he said to Dylan, “I didn’t even see you behind me. Did you change your route when you came back today?” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Dylan replied, “I had something to do today, so I drove here using another route.”

Nodding, John turned around and said to Sophia, “Did the baby behave today?”

In response, Sophia laughed. “Now, the baby is definitely very well-behaved, but the doctor said that it will start to become naughty when it is a little older.”

John’s expression was gentle as he replied, “When that time comes, I’ll tell him to stop bullying you.”

Sophia felt that what he said was a bit nonsensical, so she couldn’t be bothered to give him a response.

Sitting beside them, Old Mrs. Constance couldn’t take it anymore. She smacked her lips and commented, “John, you used to be a cold and unfeeling boy. I really can’t get used to you being like this now.” After saying this, she turned and glanced at Dylan. “Dylan, are you used to seeing John like this?”

Smiling, Dylan said nothing.

After that, Old Mrs. Constance looked at everyone. “Right, we should all go back for dinner. You’re all dismissed.”

Although she said this, Dylan was the only one who was heading another way. The other three people were going back to the main building together. Thus, the four of them separated into two groups which moved in two different directions.

Dylan took a few steps before glancing back at the others. Now, he could see that John was putting his arms around Sophia’s shoulders and saying something to her. Sophia was obviously repulsed by what he was doing and tried pushing him away, but to no avail. Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Constance was laughing next to her. The three of them looked really harmonious together like that.

A while later, Lady Jennifer had come out of the living room and saw Dylan standing here. Walking over slowly, she stared at Sophia’s direction, and then said, “Come in and eat. What’s so good about this view anyway? You’ll enjoy this in the future too.”

Still in a daze, Dylan opened his mouth to say, “If I hadn’t rejected her outright back then, maybe all this would have been mine.”

Stunned, Lady Jennifer’s eyes widened, and her mouth fell open.
