The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1197

Feeling a tad thirsty after having finished eating the dessert, Sophia picked up the juice that’d been prepared at the side and took a sip. Ah, life is just perfect now! Just when I’ve eaten, drank, and slept, energy imbues me! Slowly getting to her feet, she carefully stretched her arms and legs. “How pleasant! What should we do now?”

John burst into laughter. Walking over to her, he held her chin and tilted her head up. Then, he kissed her. After lingering on her lips for some time, he finally released her. “You’re heartless. You ate everything without leaving me anything.”

Sophia giggled maniacally. “You’ve already gotten a taste, no?”

Smacking his lips, John countered, “I couldn’t quite taste it.”

“How shameless! Fine, I’ll give you another taste, then.” Going on her tiptoes, Sophia pecked him on the corner of his mouth.

Lifting a hand, John pinched her face, smiling as well. Recently, he always had a smile on his face.

Initially, Sophia thought that conflicts might arise between them when they got fed up with each other when he had no work to keep him occupied. After all, she was well aware that he wasn’t one to mollify others or say pleasant words. Coupled with the fact that she was rather sensitive at this time, she couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t take offense at him.

But from the look of things now, she was wrong. Their relationship had been flourishing these few days he’d been keeping her company at home. Not only did he often whisper sweet nothings to her, but he even waited on her attentively and patiently, good-natured all the time.

They then returned to the main building together. Old Mrs. Constance was watching television on the sofa, the television blasting with strains of singing from a musical.
