The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 57

 

 

 

After saying that, Sophia giggled, feeling completely unashamed.

 

On the other hand, that woman was left completely speechless by her words.

Then, Sophia gave the woman a once over—the same way that woman sized her up disgustedly when they were by the beach. She even made sure to click her tongue several times and curl her lips in a sneer before turning around to leave. When her back was facing that woman, she snickered lightly.

The people surrounding them had heard what she said just now and were fervently discussing it among themselves as they enjoyed the show, and Sophia heard it all.

I finally got my revenge. This feeling is truly the best!

Humming to herself, she slowly headed toward the beach. She walked along the beach on her own for a while before finding a rock to sit on.

Many people were on the beach, but they were all in pairs. Although she felt a little lonely, she was in high spirits, especially when she thought about that woman who became speechless after listening to her. Thus, she couldn’t help laughing out loud at the memory.

This way of living where I don’t need to hold back against whoever upsets me is so comfortable. Compared to the life I lived before this… I can’t even call that living.

 

In the past, she was constantly picked on while living with the Constance Family. Anytime they felt displeased or upset over something, they would take it out on her. To be honest, most of what they berated her for wasn’t even reasonable.

However, they lorded over her due to their seniority over her, as well as the fact that she didn’t come from a good family, and tormented her with all their might.

Recalling those memories, the expression on her face gradually worsened. To put it bluntly, it was that a*shole’s fault. If only John had stood up for me, I wouldn’t have had to suffer so pitifully.

 

Thus, she cursed at him quietly under her breath. She sat there for a while longer, then she returned to the hotel and headed over to the bar. However, that singer was still nowhere to be found.

After that, she drank a cup of water, nibbled on some fruits, and returned to the room after noticing that it was almost time for her to return.

When Sophia walked into the room, she did not see John anywhere. Initially, she thought that he had gone out too. However, as soon as she walked into the bedroom, she was shocked. The room had an attached bathroom, and the bathroom was made of frosted glass.

More importantly, somebody was clearly inside the bathroom. Besides, she could hear the sound of running water coming from the shower.

Thus, she pursed her lips and was about to leave the bedroom. Even so, she had only taken a step before she paused in her tracks. Swaggering over to the bed, she sat down, took out her phone, and began to play games on it.

On the other hand, John had not heard any of the noises coming from outside. After finishing his shower, he walked out of the bathroom while drying his hair. However, he stopped dead in his tracks after taking no more than two steps out of the bathroom.

Sophia was sitting cross-legged on the bed, happily playing games on her phone. Moreover, she wasn’t wearing a bra—all she had on was a spaghetti-strap nightgown. With her head slightly lowered, her chest area was almost entirely exposed.

Two seconds passed before she seemed to notice his presence. Thus, she quickly adjusted her nightgown. Even so, the look in her eyes was calm as she gazed at him. “Are you done? If you’re done, please get out of here.”

Reflexively, John lowered his head and looked down at himself. Fortunately, he had wrapped a towel around his waist, so he wasn’t buck naked in front of her.

 

 

Still, she turned away. With her back facing him, she said, “Aren’t you going out? I’m about to go to bed.”

She was clearly being defensive.

 

He stared at her back, studying her. Then, he turned around and went back into the bathroom to retrieve the clothes he wore earlier. After that, he made a beeline toward the door. When he went out, he slammed the door behind him a little forcefully as if he was slightly upset over something.

Sophia pressed her lips tightly together, grinning as she leisurely continued her game.

After several seconds, she heard John’s voice on the phone.
