The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 102

 

 

 

John got off work at the usual time without staying back for overtime.

 

He then took Sophia and left the company right away.

When they got in the car, she was buckling her seatbelt when she smiled and said, “I remember you used to stay back after hours almost every day. Why don’t you do that anymore?”

He hesitated before speaking. “I had to work on a big collaboration project before, but it’s over now.”

“Oh.” She nodded.

With pursed lips, he started the car and drove away.

In fact, he did not always stay back after hours purely just for work.

He also did it for selfish reasons. Perhaps he was actually reluctant to see her.

 

Whilst in the car, Sophia took off her shoes and sat cross-legged in the seat while humming a song.

He turned his gaze at her every now and then.

She looked quite relaxed. When she reached the climax of the song, she even swayed her body to the beat.

 

He smirked then stepped on the accelerator.

There were not a lot of cars on the road up the mountain, so the car sped through and arrived at the Constance Residence shortly after.

Sophia was clutching onto her seatbelt as she turned to look at him. Despite feeling afraid, she was still able to smile. “What’s up with you? I thought the car was about to fly. Are you that hungry? Were you in a rush to come home and eat?”

He did not reply to her and was just waiting for the gates to open before driving into the courtyard.

When the car came to a stop, she quickly opened the door and got out.

She took a deep breath. “If we had gotten into an accident midway, I don’t even know if it would have been considered a workplace injury.”

He swung his head back at her.

Giggling, she tapped her mouth. “I’m just rambling. We’re all safe and sound. You will be with Isabelle, and I will be with my future sweetheart. We’ll all live long lives.”

He turned back around and headed toward the main building.

 

 

She sneered behind his back then slowly followed after him. That came out of nowhere. What is he mad about?

Old Mrs. Constance was sitting in the living room while Mrs. Constance kept her company. The two were talking about something.

 

Mrs. Constance looked cheerful. Old Mrs. Constance was not smiling but she did look quite relaxed.

Sophia was not too pleased to catch sight of that.

She had seen too much of it in the past.

The two of them were always amiable with each other as they talked, but they never failed to cast Sophia aside.

Neither of them paid any attention to her, making her feel awkward by herself at the side.

John went inside and greeted Old Mrs. Constance first, “Hello, Grandma.” Then, he looked at Mrs. Constance. “What were you two talking about, Mom? You looked so happy.”

She glanced at him. “Nothing much. I saw a few girls when I went shopping today and sat down to have a chat with them.”

While stretching her body, Sophia interrupted, “I’m going upstairs. You guys can continue talking.”

She was wearing hot pants and had her hair in a ponytail. When she stretched, her top also lifted, exposing her ant waist that was slender and fair.

Mrs. Constance pulled a face and waited for her to go upstairs. “Look at what she’s wearing. Did she go out with you today? She has to dress more appropriately when she’s standing next to you. If she goes out dressed like that as the Young Mistress of the Constance Family, we will be mocked.”
