The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 485

“Hold on,” Matilda waved her hand and said.

“Is there someone else?” John frowned in confusion.

Matilda smiled in response and answered, “N-No, it’s just that we should order some drinks first. I’ve been super thirsty since I waited in the lobby back there. Then, she proceeded to act like she was going through the beverages on the menu, ordering a glass of fruit juice before she continued to skim through the menu. Not long after the waiter left, the door was opened again in less than a minute.

Nevertheless, it was Isabelle who came in instead of the waiter. While opening the door, she appeared to still be talking. “I was caught in the jam, Mrs. Constance. So, I…” Soon, she stopped mid-sentence as her expression became awkward.

On the other hand, John’s face darkened the moment he saw Isabelle, but Matilda didn’t seem to notice his son’s sulky look. She then stood up and said, “Hey Belle, you’re here. Come, please have a seat! We were waiting for you.”

Isabelle slowly walked closer and sat before John while embarrassedly saying, “So, John is here too, huh.”

Matilda answered on her son’s behalf, “Yeah, I passed by his company when I was on my way here, so we decided to come here together. Here is the menu, and let’s place our order.”

Isabelle appeared a little cautious when she glimpsed at John, whereupon she took the menu that was handed to her. Meanwhile, the man was only seen with a sulky look on his face. So, this is where my mom wanted to take me. I knew something was wrong with her from the beginning.
