The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 104

 

 

 

Sophia inched closer to John and looked at him. “I found it. I saw one today. The location is pretty good and… Oh, I should just take you there on a day when you have time and you can take a look at it for me.”

 

She tried to curry favor with him with her big round eyes.

The way she was flattering him now and the way she used to was different.

In the past, it did not seem like she had a bottom line. As long as he said it, she was willing to do anything.

Right now, however, she clearly had a goal.

She was only looking at him like that because she wanted to use him, but how she really felt about him was unclear.

He stared at her for a while before agreeing to it. “I’ll find time to go have a look.”

She grinned and patted his shoulder. “You’re really something. Though we couldn’t work out, at least we’re still friends.”

 

What is she saying? He smiled. Standing up, he said, “Let’s go. I think they’re about to serve the food downstairs.”

She quickly got out of bed, then they went downstairs together.

Mrs. Constance was surprised to see them coming down together.

 

Sophia suddenly remembered Elder Mr. Bailey’s visit to Constance Company today and the unkind look he gave her. Then, she thought of how Mrs. Constance and Isabelle were on good terms with each other.

The more those thoughts gathered in her mind, the more dislike she felt for Mrs. Constance.

Mrs. Constance shot her a dirty look so Sophia took the chance to glare back at her.

She did it so brazenly that daggers were almost flying out of her eyes.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Constance gave her a warning gaze with her eyes.

Sophia sneered and completely disregarded her.

She reached the bottom of the stairs and went straight to the dining room with John.

With the help of the housekeeper, Old Mrs. Constance was standing in front of the main building and staring blankly into a space at the side.

There was once a funeral shed there.

 

 

Old Mr. Constance was placed there on his last few days in this world.

The housekeeper was also elderly. She had been by Old Mrs. Constance’s side for many years.

 

Seeing how desolate Old Mrs. Constance was, she said, “Go in and eat, Old Mrs. Constance. Don’t think too much anymore.”

“He was actually feeling uneasy when he left.”

The housekeeper knew what she was talking about. Old Mr. Constance did not worry about anyone except for Sophia.

It seemed like he knew that John and Sophia only got married because he forced them to be together. Without him around, their relationship would surely not last.

John had to promise him that he would take good care of Sophia.

In the end, though, he still felt uneasy as he passed.

Old Mrs. Constance let out a sigh. “John and Sophia…”

She did not finish her sentence.

The housekeeper consoled her in a small voice, “They look like they’re doing fine to me.”

Leaning against the housekeeper, Old Mrs. Constance went back into the living room and headed toward the dining room. “Really? Why do you think so?”

Right after she said that, she spotted John and Sophia sitting in the dining room.

Because she was not at the table yet, they were not allowed to start eating yet. It was a rule John and Matilda created.
