The Returning Ex

Chapter 946

But John is in cooperation with Isabelle recently. Is it really okay that he’s treating her like this? Sophia thought.

Isabelle fell silent. In order to keep teasing her, John asked, “Isabelle, are you listening?”

Coming to her senses, Isabelle replied in an embarrassed voice, “Alright. I’ll pass you the movie tickets later.”

John grunted. “Okay. Thanks.” Upon finishing his words, he hung up the call.

Seeing what happened, Sophia guffawed. “You were so shameless!”

John said with a snort, “I think she was with someone.”

Hearing this, Sophia was startled. “What do you mean?” After giving it a thought, she said, “You mean someone was listening in on Isabelle’s conversation with you?”

At least, that was how John felt because Isabelle talked in a different way, and her action was a little strange on this day.

After a moment of deliberation, Sophia still couldn’t understand what was going on, so she just nodded. “I think so.”

When they reached the Civil Affairs Bureau, they were relieved to see that the place wasn’t crowded on a Friday. Since this wasn’t an auspicious day, only a small number of people came to the bureau to register for marriage or file for divorce.

Remained in the car, Sophia stared at the bureau’s entrance for a while and then laughed. “John, do you remember the date of our divorce?”

John nodded. “Yes.” Of course I remember that. It was a more memorable day than when I first got married.

Chuckling, Sophia turned to face him. “It was Valentine’s day.”

John wasn’t aware that it was Valentine’s day; he simply remembered the date. Then, he pulled her hand toward himself and held it firmly before saying, “We won’t divorce again after today.”

A while later, they stepped into the bureau and went through the legal procedures to get married, which were familiar to them. After all, it wasn’t their first time here.

With all the necessary documents ready, it didn’t take them a long time to register for marriage. Holding the marriage certificate in her hands, Sophia looked at it for a moment and burst into laughter. She said, “It’s so easy to get one.” It is so easy to get a marriage certificate, but it is so hard for two people to fall in love.

Cupping her face with his hands, John kissed her and said, “Mrs. Constance, please take care of me from now on.”

With a calm expression, Sophia replied, “You should be the one taking care of me instead. Also, you’ll have to obey my orders from now on.”

John burst out laughing. “Alright. I’ll obey your orders. You’ll be the chief commander of our family.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

After the call ended, Isabelle turned to face her grandfather with a helpless expression.

Elder Mr. Bailey’s face had turned glacial because he had heard what John said over the phone. He then scoffed. “What a jerk.”

Pursing her lips, Isabelle said in a lowered and aggrieved voice, “Grandpa, I’ve tried, but he’s rejected me.”

Her grandfather waved his hand and passed her the movie tickets. “Forget it. Just take the tickets and make your own decision.”

Apparently, he was displeased because the fact that Isabelle was embarrassed was also a slap in his face. After all, Isabelle represented the Bailey Family.

After taking over the movie tickets, Isabelle hung her head low and sighed. “After all we’ve been through, he still doesn’t love me. I guess he’ll never fall in love with me.”

Not wanting to hear any of that, her grandfather waved his hand again. “Alright. Go now.”

Then, Isabelle shuffled out of the room.

After Isabelle left, Elder Mr. Bailey closed the door and walked up to the wardrobe. Upon unlocking the safe, he took out a document from it.
