The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 164

John went over and pushed open the door, standing right at the entrance. “Sophia.” His voice was a tad loud.

Startled, Sophia gave a cry and raised her head in surprise. “Why are you here? Are you looking for Dylan?”

John swept his gaze over Dylan, only to see him reclining in his chair while staring at him calmly, even appearing as though he was anticipating a good show. He lowered his voice and replied, “No. I came here to look for you. Let’s go back.”

Sophia hadn’t yet finished her game, so she continued looking down at her cell phone. “Miss Bailey has left?”

“Yeah,” John answered. Then, he grew impatient and went over to her before tugging her up from the sofa by the wrist.

Sophia protested vehemently, “Wait! I haven’t worn my shoes yet. My shoes! Hey, John Constance, you’re such a…” Perhaps she’d wanted to curse him out, but she hurriedly ceased talking when she realized that this wasn’t the right place to do so. She withdrew her hand forcefully. “Let me wear my shoes. Why are you in such a hurry?”

John’s brows furrowed. I’m not in a hurry. I just don’t want other people from the Constance Family to come over and spot her here. While they appear all innocent and pure, they’re actually very much cunning. Thus, I don’t want them to see her and Dylan interacting so closely. Standing stock-still, he waited for her to put on her shoes before declaring, “Let’s go.”

Sophia followed him out of Dylan’s office, but she didn’t forget to turn back and look at Dylan when she reached the door. “I’m leaving. You must come when my new shop opens, okay? It’ll be my treat.”

The corners of Dylan’s mouth lifted. “Sure.”
