The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 400

“For some reason, I thought about the time you and I went to the Morgans’ company when you called,” Ian said.

Why did he think of that? Nothing big happened. As a reply, she smiled. “And? Were you thinking of Simon and Sally?”

“No,” replied Ian. “Only you.” He kept on staring at Sophia.

Sophia was about to say nothing happened that day, but the serious look on Ian’s face and the gentleness in his eyes made her bite her tongue. Oh no, that look in his eyes. I don’t like it. She gasped. “Why the serious look? It’s making me nervous.”

A few moments later, he smiled. “I know you knew I was using you that day.”

Sophia said nothing as she pursed her lips, her silent surprise an affirmative answer, so he sighed. “I did think of using you that day, and you found out about it.” Nonetheless, since she didn’t ask, he didn’t say.

A moment later, Sophia smiled. “It’s fine. That wasn’t a big deal. I was happy I could help.”

The look in his eyes became gentler, and he sat up slowly. “I’ve seen many people over the years, but you’re the first who helped me without asking for anything in return.”

Sophia was confused. What’s he talking about? Something’s off about him.

Still, Ian didn’t take his eyes off her. “Sophia, I’ve kept my feelings hidden all this time. But today, I want to tell you all about it. Sophia, I—”

“What a surprise, Ian. You’re here too?” someone quipped by the door.
