The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 251

The moment Sophia pushed the door open, she was taken aback by the sight of John lying on her bed in his pajamas. It appeared that he had fallen asleep.

She stood at the door, gasping and wondering why he was in her bedroom. She shuffled over and asked, “John, did you enter the wrong room?”

His eyes remained closed as if he had not heard a thing. She shook his body, but he suddenly reached out and dragged her onto the bed by her arm. Eyes closed, he said in a hoarse voice, “Stop fooling around. I’m tired.”

She lay on top of him, and after some thinking, she moved to the side and lay down beside him.

The curtains were half-opened, and some light spilled into her bedroom. She took a good look at his face and agreed that he looked rather tired.

She slowly crawled out of bed and tiptoed out of the room to head downstairs. Then, she stared out from the living room windows, confused by their current situation.

What did John mean? Were both of them embarking on a cohabitation journey as lovers?

She initially thought that he disliked her. Is he after my body?

She drew a sharp breath and felt uncomfortable at the thought.

Was it possible for this man to separate his feelings and his lust?

She spent some time watching tv downstairs but was bored out of her mind, so she took a cab to the dessert store, where she saw Robin cleaning the place. Robin saw her coming and quickly invited her to take a seat.

Everyone who was in the dark of the situation between her and John felt envious of her. They thought that she must have led a happy and carefree life after marrying John. However, they did not understand that a marriage could not be sustained purely on wealth.

Whenever she recalled her marriage with John, she would still feel depressed. Those days were bad compared to her recent life, where she could face him with more ease.

Since she was free, she spent an entire afternoon in Robin’s tiny store, and the two girls started doing research on desserts that they could serve down the road.

Before this, the store was only run by Robin, and she was short-staffed. Therefore, she could only manage to serve simple desserts. With Sophia on board, the two of them could definitely come up with a lot of new varieties.

Sophia was not particularly talented in any field, but she was quite experienced in culinary arts. In the past, she had spent years in the kitchen and was familiar with making noodles and other dishes.
