The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 359

Without replying to their messages, Sophia went downstairs with her cell phone in hand. After eating a simple breakfast, she then lay down on the yoga mat and stared at the chandelier on the ceiling. Back when I was in the village, I had endless tasks every day.

At that time, I wondered how nice it’d be if I could just lie down peacefully like this and do nothing one day. Now, this dream has come true, but I find that it’s actually quite boring to just lie down leisurely.

However, just a few seconds after she’d lay down, a car stopped in front of her house. She warily sat up at once, for she couldn’t help thinking that Mrs. Constance was back after having lost to her the previous time. When she caught sight of the person who alighted from the car, her brows slowly creased.

It’s Old Mrs. Constance walking over with someone supporting her! After a moment’s deliberation, she pivoted and sprinted upstairs. She moved quickly, so Old Mrs. Constance just happened to reach the door when she came down again. Thus, she went over to open the door. “Madam.”

Old Mrs. Constance chuckled. “You’ve changed your address of me pretty quickly. You’re no longer calling me Grandma, huh?”

Sophia smiled. “Please come in.”

Old Mrs. Constance was helped into the house by the servant. She hadn’t been here, so she looked around as she stood in the living room. “This wasn’t done by John, was it? It doesn’t look like it.”

Sophia grunted in affirmation. “He did all the permanent fixtures, but I found the ornamental fixtures not quite to my liking, so I changed them.”

Old Mrs. Constance nodded. “It’s good that you changed them. It looks great now.”

Sophia then ushered her to the sofa to have a seat. After thinking for a while, she said, “I have no plain water here, only soft drinks. Would you like to have any?”

Old Mrs. Constance’s gaze fell on the velvet box. After a long while, she asked, “Have you misunderstood something? I’m not here because of this.”

“I know,” Sophia replied. “You’re probably here to thank me for helping John out. Actually, it’s not a big deal. When this matter blows over, I can then relax, so I’m not really helping him. Rather, I’m helping myself.”

Her frankness had relief suffusing Old Mrs. Constance. Taking her hand and placing it onto her own palm, she sighed softly. “No matter what, the Constance Family owes you.”

Sophia hastily chuckled. “No, not at all. The Constance Family doesn’t owe me anything. Conversely, you’ve given me a lot.” At least, it was John who gave me this house I’m living in. Without all this, I might be forced to return to my hometown, and I’m not enthusiastic about going back to that place where I’ll have to rely on the weather to make a living.

Since she’d said as much, Old Mrs. Constance was at a loss for words. After musing for a while, she murmured, “John is actually a very simple-minded person. All these years, he has been focusing on work wholeheartedly and neglected other things. Take Isabelle, for instance. Do you think he has feelings for Isabelle? I don’t think so.”
