The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1156

Isabelle said nothing, but the color was already draining from her face.

On the other hand, Ernest had made his appearance. There was a podium there, and he went up to thank everyone, as per social events. He was obviously excited, but Sophia couldn’t care less. She didn’t sleep that afternoon, and she was washed over by a wave of sleepiness. Then, she leaned against John, falling into his arms.

John kissed her. “What is it? Are you tired?”

“Yes,” she said weakly. Usually, she’d sleep until late in the afternoon, but since Logan and Lola were there that day, she didn’t go to bed. Because of that, she felt like dozing off.

John hugged her. “We’ll find a place for you to nap.”

Sophia smiled. “Thanks.”

After that, John took Sophia toward Isabelle. Elder Mr. Bailey was just beside her, but he pretended not to see them. At the same time, Isabelle stood straight up when she saw John. “What is it?”

John smiled. “I just want to ask if you have any room we can use to rest. Sophia’s getting sleepy. She’s down with something, so standing around has made her unwell.”

“I see. We do have a room here. Come with me.”

John nodded. “Thank you.”

Then, Isabelle took them to a room in the main residence. Before they left, her gaze met her grandfather’s, and the look of warning in his eyes did not escape her. Isabelle looked away, and her expression turned serious.
