The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 601

That excuse just came rushing out when Sophia opened her mouth, but John was reassured after mulling it over. He then drove Sophia back to her house. However, shortly after, she dozed off while reclining against her seat. She seems exceedingly tired, and her entire person appears to be sapped of energy.

Slowly bringing the car to a stop, he then alighted from the car and circled to Sophia’s side before carrying her out. I wonder if I’m reading too much into things, but she seems to have lost a lot of weight. She’s so light that I wonder if she’s been eating properly.

Entering the house, he headed upstairs and placed her on the bed. All at once, she flipped over and conked out while hugging the covers. Standing beside the bed, John chuckled for some inexplicable reason before an image flashed across his mind out of the blue.

If we have a worrisome daughter like her in the future, and the two of them lie together like this, I don’t think I’ll have any more regrets in life. However, this picture was so perfect that he scarcely dared to imagine it.

Glancing at the time, he then gave Zack a call and asked him to bring the documents over. With Sophia in such a condition, I truly can’t bring myself to leave. On the other end, Zack snickered. “You’re at Sophia’s place? Gosh, you’ve finally seen the light, Boss!”

“Cut the crap! Hurry up and bring the documents over.” Mild impatience gripped John.

Zack was not quite afraid of him now, feeling that while he was indeed outstanding in his work, he appeared to be an utter dunce in life, especially in matters of the heart. After all, once a person’s flaws were exposed, his authority would be inexplicably weakened.

When he’d hung up the phone, John went downstairs. He sat on the sofa and logged in to his email with his cell phone and perused a few documents. Thereafter, something seemed to have occurred to him, for his expression turned solemn.
