The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 238

John looked at her, too. Their eyes met, then they fidgeted. Sophia retracted her gaze first, and with her back turned on him, she blinked. Why does he have to smile like that? How can a woman who hasn’t seen much of the world like me possibly resist him?

John kept on washing his vegetables, and a moment later, he smiled. Ian arrived a short while later, and when he came in, he saw them working in the kitchen, a tad surprised. He didn’t know what John was like at home, but when he saw Logan working with them, he had the shock of his life. Ian looked on for a while before going inside. “Do you need my help?”

Before Sophia could answer, Logan waved him down. “No need for that. You sit down for a bit. We have more than enough hands here, so the meal will be ready soon.”

Ian almost laughed out loud. He thought Logan looked amusing this way. Today wasn’t his day, for he had to get into the mess at the Morgan Residence, and then Sophia was hurt because of this. He spent his whole afternoon feeling awful, but the sight of them in the kitchen calmed him down.

Thus, he decided to enter. Ian went up to Sophia and hunkered down to look at the bandage on her calf. “Does it still hurt?”

Sophia looked down at him. “Not anymore. I don’t feel anything now. Maybe I was shocked back then, but I am fine, really.”

John stopped washing the vegetables and looked at Ian.

Stretching out a hand, Ian pressed down near her wound. “Is it a big wound?”

Sophia didn’t think this looked weird, and she even let him look. “I don’t think so. I didn’t look, but the doctor said it’s fine, so it’s fine.”

Ian nodded and stood up before patting her head. “I’m sorry to have dragged you into this.”
