The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 212

They didn’t say that Sophia was there as well. The reason John didn’t tell them that was because he didn’t want his mother to go looking for trouble.

At the Constance Residence earlier, she had spent the whole afternoon making disparaging remarks about Sophia. She had been endless with her remarks, but actually, he didn’t like to hear about them.

Also, the reason Isabelle didn’t tell them Sophia was here was because she was worried people would talk when they knew that the married couple were in separate rooms. If she let Sophia come over here, she would definitely lose her appetite.

Old Mr. Bailey nodded his head. “That Jefferson brat is indeed a bit unruly when he acts and speaks, but youngsters should be vigorous like this. You should be more energetic like him.”

He was mainly saying this to Isabelle, so she looked at Old Mr. Bailey, knowing what he was trying to convey. While she was more on the tacit end of the personality spectrum, John’s temper was easy to trigger, so when such two people got together, it was indeed difficult for them to cultivate feelings for each other. Sparks could only appear between two people with complementary personalities.

Isabelle had actually thought about this problem before. When John had come to break off their engagement, although he had apologized, he acted unusually calm. She could tell he was unapologetic, and she could not see any conflicted feelings or reluctance from him. Thus, Isabelle thought that John probably didn’t like her.

She had thought that she had the charm, but she had lost to someone like Sophia, which was a fact that she simply couldn’t accept. After encountering Sophia for a couple of times, she had secretly made comparisons between the both of them, and she thought that other than their personalities, she wasn’t on the losing end compared to Sophia at all.

Sophia’s identity was nothing and her behaviors were often inappropriate, so other than her jovial and unabashed personality, there really wasn’t anything else about her. Thus, Isabelle thought to herself that maybe men like women like Sophia.

William laughed, then he turned the topic toward the joint effort between the two families once again. Old Mr. Bailey naturally followed his words and continued the talk.

The only thing left for the two families to work together was to get the contract signed, for the details and the like had all been negotiated.
