The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 214

John didn’t know whether the old man Logan said was referring to Old Mr. Bailey or Elder Mr. Bailey, so he answered directly. “Old Mr. Bailey is here, as well as Mrs. Bailey.”

Sophia gave an audible snort when she remembered the pair of mother and daughter she had followed earlier. There was definitely a reason why Isabelle held those twisted values and standards, for Mrs. Bailey was not a moral person either.

Logan looked at Sophia, then he continued, “Isabelle is now working at her family’s company, isn’t that right? I remembered that before she never showed up at her family’s social gatherings. Now that she has appeared, that should mean she’s working in the company, right?”

John nodded. “Yes. Isabelle is the liaison officer for both our companies.”

Understanding the situation now, Logan tutted and said, “Didn’t Isabelle give off a high-class lady vibe before? Why is she bothering to lower herself to our standards now? She can’t hold her nose up anymore?”

No one could answer this question.

Ian, who has been silent all the time, asked, “Does Old Mr. Bailey have any other children besides Isabelle?”

“He does,” Logan replied. “But his son is currently only just starting high school. He’s too young to support the company.”

Ian let out an ‘oh’; he seemed to have understood something, but he didn’t say anything further.

On the other hand, Sophia went over to the seafood platter and used her cutleries to put some in John’s bowl. “Eat up. Someone may come to get you in a while. You’ll have to go back and drink some more then.”

John looked down without touching his cutleries. “I know how to deal with it.”

Nevertheless, what Sophia said was indeed accurate. After a while, a knock on the door of the private room could be heard, and Logan, thinking it was a waiter, told them to come in directly.

When the door opened, Isabelle was the one standing there at the doorway. Her face was very calm, as if the unpleasantness she experienced earlier had never happened.
