The Returning Ex

Chapter 942

Virginia said, “John is a man of few words, so he’d rather keep his problems to himself. But Sophia, I can see that he really cares about you. It’s hard for a woman to find a man she loves. Will you give him a chance?” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Sophia wasn’t sure if Virginia was persuading her because the latter had learned that she had no intention of remarrying John. However, after hearing what Virginia said, she seemed to recall a vague memory and was moved by it.

After Virginia left, they kept walking around the place as Sophia said, “It’s lunchtime now. I’ll ask whether John is coming home to have lunch.”

Covering her mouth, Matilda chuckled. “Alright. You’ll call him, and I’ll keep walking.” Upon finishing her words, she turned to leave.

After Sophia made the call, John hurriedly picked it up because he was surprised that she was calling him.

Hesitating, Sophia grunted. “Do you think the Civil Affairs Bureau will be open tomorrow?”

It’s Saturday tomorrow, so the Civil Affairs Bureau will be closed. Startled for a moment, John then replied, “The bureau’s employees don’t work on the weekends, so the place will not be open tomorrow.”

Sophia nodded. “Alright. Forget it.”

Coming to his senses, John quickly stopped her from hanging up the call. “Why are you asking about the Civil Affairs Bureau? Are you going there tomorrow? The employees there are not going to work tomorrow. If you’re free, we can go now.”

Without uttering a word, Sophia listened to him.

Seeing as she never replied to him, he rose from his chair and said, “I’m going home now. Get ready and wait for me.”

Hearing this, Sophia burst into laughter. “What’s with the fuss? It’s lunchtime now, so they’re surely taking a break.”

After taking a look at his wristwatch, John replied, “It’s fine. I’ll go home now and have lunch first. When the break is over, we’ll go to the bureau. It won’t take too long.”

Without replying to him, Sophia hung up the call.

Still holding the phone, John was stupefied for a while and then burst out laughing. Oh God, are we going to register for marriage? I still can’t believe that she’s changed her mind!

Rooted to the spot, John didn’t even know what to do next. He only regained his senses when Zack came in with a document. Circling around the table, he clapped Zack’s shoulder and said, “I’ll leave the rest to you now.”

Before Zack reacted to the situation, John had left the office. Stepping on the gas pedal, he rushed back to his house at full speed. A short while later, he returned to the mansion and parked his car in the garage.

After getting out of the car, John strode toward the main building. When he reached the garden in front of the main building, he could see that Sophia and Matilda were watching the television with their legs crossed on the couch. Sophia was enjoying the plate of fruits that was placed on her lap.

It seems that she hasn’t been traumatized by what happened at the hospital in the morning. After staring at her for a while, John started chuckling.

Before he entered the living room, Sophia shot him an impassive look and quickly shifted her attention back to the television.

Absorbed in the drama, Matilda giggled and clapped Sophia’s shoulder. “Don’t you think that guy is foolish?”

Sophia grunted. “Indeed. He was okay initially. How did he become so foolish?”

Stopping in his tracks, John wasn’t certain whether Sophia was talking about the guy in the drama or himself. After waiting for a bit, he said, “It looks like an interesting drama.”
