The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 52

Frankly speaking, Sophia didn’t know what was fun around here either. Moreover, she wasn’t the adventurous nor playful type. The only reason she came on this trip was that she wanted a change of pace and an escape from her problems. Alas, things had gradually progressed to this point before she knew it.

Propping her chin on her hand, she leaned forward. “I don’t know what fun places there are around here either. Why don’t I search online on where to go sight-seeing later?”

She spoke carelessly and casually as if she wasn’t aware of how inappropriate it was for her to be sitting in that position. The swimsuit she had on was the more revealing type. Coupled with the fact that she was leaning forward, her chest area was not quite concealed.

John cleared his throat slightly and shifted his gaze away. Although they had performed all sorts of intimate acts together in the past, he still wasn’t used to looking at her. After all, they had always done those acts in the dark. Therefore, he had never seen her figure in detail before.

When she saw him averting his gaze, she felt like laughing. However, she didn’t change her posture. “Aren’t you going to swim?”

There might be a lot of people here, but most were congregated around the shallow areas. So, the areas where the water was deeper were relatively quiet.

He turned his head to look at the deeper area. Originally, he came here to swim a few laps to relax. However, after meeting Sophia here, he gave up on that idea.

This woman makes me uneasy. I can’t help but feel that if I don’t watch over her, she will do something outrageous. To be honest, I’m not afraid of what she might do.

But, I’m in a precarious situation right now. I don’t want her to bring any trouble to me. Still… the posture that she’s in right now… it’s revealing her figure…

Suddenly, he stood up. “I’m going for a swim. Pay more attention to yourself.”

He might not have said what she should pay attention to, but they both understood what he meant.

Thus, she made a non-committal sound. Then, she watched as he headed to the swimming pool. Afterward, she slowly straightened her posture and leaned back against the chair. The chair was hard and it was uncomfortable to sit on.

John entered the pool and slowly started doing laps around it. From where Sophia was sitting, she could see a shadow of him in the swimming pool. After a while, she withdrew her gaze.

She didn’t know how to swim. The only reason she came here was to relieve herself of boredom. Now that John was here, she inexplicably felt even more bored than before.

It feels like no matter how hard I try to seduce someone like John, it just doesn’t work.

Thus, she remained where she was and sighed. Just then, Zack came over. He had been watching Sophia and John from elsewhere.

Sitting in the seat John had vacated, Zack frowned. “What were you talking about? Why did he abandon you here after only saying a few words?”

Sophia leaned against the chair and adjusted her swimsuit, trying her best to cover herself up. “Nothing much. Since he was already here, he decided to go for a swim.”

Zack tutted several times. “Seriously, I can’t believe that man…”

She laughed, recalling what happened just now. “Your boss mentioned that we’d be here for another two days. And, he asked me if there was anywhere I wanted to go. I’ve never been here before. Do you know where to go sight-seeing here?”

He studied her for a moment, then he smiled all of a sudden. “I do. Didn’t we already go somewhere before? Unfortunately, it wasn’t very fun. This time around, it’ll be different! You can bring your ex-husband with you to the Edge of the World! That place is only meaningful when a couple goes there.”

She looked him in the eye and didn’t say anything for the time being.
