The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 308

After staring at Sophia for a while with a cigarette in his mouth, he smiled. Then, he threw away the cigarette and followed her into the house. Sophia went all the way up the stairs and into her room, proceeding to throw herself onto the bed and sleep. In the meantime, John went into the room as well and stood beside the bed while staring at her.

It was noon now and the sun wasn’t shining bright; soft rays of light shone gently into the room. John walked over and sat beside her. Raising his hand, he gently stroked her face. Her face was fair and soft, smooth to the touch. After stroking her for a while, he suddenly realized that his actions were inappropriate. He instantly stood up and left the room, seeming to have turned tail and fled from shock.

After John closed the door from the outside only did Sophia open her eyes. She was actually awake when John came in. There was confusion in her eyes, for she couldn’t figure out why he acted that way just now.

Meanwhile, John had returned to his room and was sitting on the bed, staring at his own hands. He couldn’t understand what had gotten into him either. After a while, he went to wash his face before lying back on the bed. Since he couldn’t figure out what had happened, he gave up thinking about it and just closed his eyes.

On the other hand, Sophia couldn’t get back to sleep. Tossing and turning in bed, she felt anxious for no reason. She truly didn’t like that kind of uneasiness. Her whole life, there had only been one thing that wasn’t in her control, which was marrying John. Even in her wildest dreams, she had never imagined that she would marry him. Therefore, it didn’t come as a surprise to her when John suggested a divorce. But now, the feeling of something out of her control had returned.

When it was about time, Sophia went out of the room. This time, she didn’t go downstairs and went to John’s room instead. After gently knocking on the door, John’s voice came from inside. “Come in.”

Sophia opened the door but didn’t go in. Instead, she stood by the door. John was sitting on the bed, looking at something on his phone. Sophia asked, “May I ask you something?”

John hummed while turning to look at her. “What is it? Go on.”
