The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 575

Dad is indeed anticipating going on the business trip this time, for he can’t wait to escape this place. As far as John knew, Matilda seemed to be calling and texting William frequently these days, bugging him with invitations to have a meal together and requests to meet up.

And Mom isn’t the kind of person who beats around the bush, so she’s very straightforward, declaring that she wants to make up with him.

I’m not all that certain what Dad thinks of it all, but he definitely has no plans to start over with Mom right now. However, he can never be assertive and resolute with her, so he can’t bring himself to refuse her, yet he’s reluctant to agree.

Before she came home, I even contemplated how I was going to persuade her into having a peaceful discussion with me, but when I saw her hopping mad, every thought I had scattered.

As soon as I opened my mouth, those warnings and threats just rushed out. He inwardly smacked his lips, wondering whether his strategy this time would work.

Lady Jennifer was still very much curious about the girl Dylan referred to. Since Old Mrs. Constance couldn’t figure out anything as well, she turned to John. “John, as you spend more time with Dylan since you even see him in the office, have you ever heard him inadvertently mentioning any woman whom you think he possibly likes?”

John froze. Dylan and I actually don’t spend that much time together. Despite us both being in the office, our interactions were all related to work. Besides work, when it comes to everyday life…
