The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1000

After contemplating for a while, John drove straight to the Bailey Residence before it was time to get off work.

The Bailey Residence was much quieter than before. John still remembered the time when he had come to break off the engagement. At that time, when he drove to the entrance of the Bailey Residence, he could already hear the sounds of laughter coming from inside.

Now, however, the Bailey Residence was so silent that it was as if it was uninhabited. John waited at the entrance for a bit, but the butler did not come. So, he had no choice but to get out of the car and ring the doorbell at the main door.

It took a while before a maid came over. Because she recognized John, she was a little surprised to see him. She spoke in a soft voice and asked him who he was looking for.

John thought for a while and said, “Is your Young Lady at home?”

The maid shook her head. “Young Lady Isabelle isn’t here. She went out at noon.”

The maid’s answer meant that Isabelle had not returned since she left home at noon. This surprised John even more, so he hurriedly asked, “Did she go out alone? The two of us agreed to have dinner together. I called her but no one answered, so I came to ask.”

The maid thought for a while and replied, “She wasn’t alone. She went out with Elder Mr. Bailey.”

Leaving with Elder Mr. Bailey but not coming back all afternoon? In his heart, John could almost guess what was going on. Then, he continued to ask the maid through the iron railings, “Then, is Elder Mr. Bailey home?”

Startled, the maid nodded. “Elder Mr. Bailey has already returned. He came back quite early, actually.”
