The Returning Ex

Chapter 947

After going downstairs, Isabelle slumped into the couch and composed herself.

In fact, John’s response over the phone was within her expectation. Although she had figured that John would reply in such a way, she still felt somewhat sullen. John wasn’t aware of the situation she was in, so he was practically speaking his mind. That was what made her feel dejected.

After giving it a thought, Isabelle fished out her phone and sent John a message. She asked him when he would be free so that she could pass him the tickets. However, John didn’t reply to her. It wasn’t certain whether he didn’t see the message or he didn’t feel it was necessary to give her a reply.

Clenching her phone, Isabelle fell into her own thoughts on the couch. She was disheartened, but the feeling wasn’t so unbearable; it was just a sulky feeling.

A long while later, she picked up her phone and tapped on Facebook. Since she did not have many friends, the content on her Facebook wasn’t aplenty. Whenever she was bored at home, she would scroll through the app to take a peek into other people’s lives.

A moment later, she caught a glimpse of John’s post that was posted half an hour ago. It was a photo of a marriage certificate, and the caption read, ‘Happiness’.

After staring at it for a while, Isabelle frowned and then relaxed her brows. It wasn’t a surprise to her. Since Sophia was pregnant and John had been doting on her, it was just a matter of time before they got married for the second time.

After closing the app, Isabelle let out a long breath and then chuckled in self-mockery.

Upon registering for marriage, John didn’t return to the company. He went home, posted the picture on Facebook, and kept staring at the marriage certificate. Since Sophia was exhausted, she washed up and slumbered off on the bed.

With the certificate in one hand, John ran his fingers through her hair with his other hand. I’m beyond happy. A short period of time later, he lowered his head to observe his wife and felt dejected because while he was excited, Sophia appeared to be impassive. She’s too calm.

At this moment, John found his own behavior strange. Back then, when Sophia told him she didn’t want to remarry him, he felt disheartened. Later on, he became sullen that she never felt jealous. Now that they had remarried, he was crestfallen that she wasn’t excited at all. He felt that he didn’t even understand himself anymore.

Perhaps it was human nature that once one acquired something one desired, one would crave more.

A moment later, John put down the certificate and lay down beside Sophia, who was sound asleep. Perhaps it was out of her instinct that she snuggled up to John in her dream. Smiling, John pulled her into his embrace and closed his eyes.

It was evening when they opened their eyes after a good sleep.

The living room was bustling because William, his brothers, and their family members had gathered in the main building. At this moment, all of them were seated in the living room and having a chat.

When John and Sophia went downstairs, all of these people turned to them in unison.

Sophia didn’t mind being around so many people, but she felt bashful being watched by them. Draping his arm around her shoulder, John put on a smile and greeted his relatives.

Old Mrs. Constance had changed into new clothes, and she looked lively. Matilda beckoned at Sophia and told her to eat the fruits she had prepared for her. Sophia grunted and walked toward Matilda.

With a joyful expression, Jennifer greeted Sophia and asked her about the result of her medical check- up.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
