The Returning Ex

Chapter 957

Realizing who was calling her, Sophia was startled as she stared at the screen.

Isabelle wasn’t a close friend who would call her up to have a casual chat, so she had to have an ulterior motive for making this call.

Sophia intentionally ignored the call because she knew that Isabelle would make another call.

As expected, Isabelle called her for the second time. Sophia picked it up and said in a languid voice, “Yes, Miss Bailey?”

Isabelle smiled and said in a pretentiously calm voice, “Miss Gwendolyn, I’m sorry for calling you at this hour. Due to business matters, I get into contact with John pretty frequently these days. When I left the Constance Residence that day, I didn’t get to bid you farewell. Thinking back, I find my behavior really impolite, so I’d like to offer you my apology.”

Sophia suppressed her laugh. This is getting interesting. It has been a few days since the gathering. Why would she wait for such a long time and mention this to me suddenly? Putting on a mirthless laugh, she said, “If you never mentioned this, I would have forgotten about it.”

After a pause, Isabelle continued, “I’ve learned from John’s Facebook post that the two of you have remarried, so I’d like to congratulate you as well.”

Sophia grunted. “John had pestered me for a long time for this. After giving it a thought, I didn’t think I should let some other women snatch him away from me. Since I didn’t have any fallback guy at that time, I decided to agree to his request.”

Sophia’s words were mean. In fact, she had left behind her grudges against Isabelle, but as soon as they got into contact, she couldn’t contain her urge to mock the other person.

Perhaps they were born to be each other’s arch-enemies. She thought she had left the past behind, but the moment Isabelle called her, she couldn’t control herself not to hurt the latter’s feelings.

Isabelle was rendered speechless upon hearing that. She had always known that Sophia wasn’t someone who would mince her words.

Before the call, she had thought about the scenarios she would come across. She thought that no matter what Sophia would say, she would be able to keep on conveying her message. Unexpectedly, she was put in an embarrassing situation only a brief moment after the conversation started.

After a sigh, she tried to speak in a softer voice. “I am just worried that you’ll misunderstand John and me. It has always been a business collaboration between us and nothing else.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Sophia grunted in a perfunctory manner. “Well, John had told me about this before. I have never worried that something is going on between you and John because he’s promised that he’d never betray me, and I trust him. He said that other than me, he wasn’t interested in all other women in this world.”

Isabelle was unable to tolerate her harsh words anymore. In an embarrassed voice, she said, “Alright. Since John has made it clear to you, I will say no more. Please take a good rest. See you.”

After the call ended, Sophia tossed her phone to the side and snorted.

She didn’t have the appetite to have her breakfast moments ago, but after the call, she was suddenly able to gobble down her food. Upon finishing her food, she picked up the food tray and went downstairs.

At this moment, Old Mrs. Constance had returned to the house from a walk. After she was helped by the servant to take a seat on the couch, she said, “I heard that Dylan and his girlfriend are going to

have lunch with his mother. I hope they’ll get married soon, otherwise Jennifer will never stop complaining. I couldn’t even enjoy my food last night. Did you hear all the innuendos in her words? I was really pissed off.”

After passing the food tray to the servant, Sophia took a seat beside the old lady and said, “I’m sure after Dylan gets married, Lady Jennifer will stop being so irritable.”
