The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 107

Blinking at him, she had no intention of going out for a walk.

She had walked a lot that day and wanted to return to her room to rest.

But after looking at Mrs. Constance, who was sitting across from her, she immediately nodded her head. “Sure! Taking a walk after a meal can help us digest some of this food. It’s good for our bodies.”

Mrs. Constance initially had a glum expression on her face but not anymore.

She pulled a long face and was a bit unsatisfied.

Nonetheless, her misery was Sophia’s delight.

John walked out of the dining room first with Sophia following behind him.

The two of them made their way to the garden.

His strides were rather big, making it hard for her to keep up.

When she could not keep up any longer, she called out, “Hey, did you come out for a walk or for race-walking.”

He stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at her. “Why are you so short? Does it make it more convenient to pick up money?”

She was surprised.

He was a man of few words and was not usually sarcastic.

Even when he talked, it was about more serious topics.

He never teased her so blatantly before.

Looking at him, she even jumped up a bit. “Why are you so tall? Does it make it easier to build a shed?”

John was indeed very tall. He looked neat and put together.

In addition to his impressive looks, it was no wonder she fell for him.

She was someone who had not seen much of the world yet, so it was only normal for her to be drawn to him when he was so handsome.

He lowered his gaze at her. Her dress is already short, but she’s still jumping. Is she trying to expose herself to the whole world? He raised his hands and pushed her shoulders down. “Stand properly.”

She looked up at him without knowing what was going on.

When their eyes met, something did not feel quite right.

She scowled at him then followed him in. “I know. Are you getting old? You’re getting long-winded.”

John sat on the bench and looked at her. “Am I old?”

He was five years older than her.

She took a seat on a rattan chair nearby. “Why? Does that make you uncomfortable?” Chuckling, she went on, “You’re an old cow nibbling on young grass like me. What do you feel uncomfortable about?”

Somehow that did not sound quite right either.

Was she not over that previous incident yet? She suddenly thought of what happened in bed last time.

At the time, he was quite aggressive with her.

When she looked in the mirror during her shower, all the marks on her body made it seem like she was being abused.

Meanwhile, John also felt like something was not quite right but he could not tell what it was exactly.

In the end, they ran out of conversation again and just sat in silence.
