The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 608

Sophia nodded. Then, she heaved a sigh. “Don’t go on a diet. You’re perfectly fine, so why would you do so? Perhaps the person you meet in the future likes you just as you are right now.”

Robin said nothing.

As the two men in the dining room ate, they lost all sense of time. In the end, Robin gave up waiting and took her leave from Sophia, saying that she would like to go home first. Thus, Sophia saw her to the entrance of the community and watched as she got into a taxi and left. Standing at the gate, she looked around before pivoting and going back in.

On the street a near distance away was a parked car. Someone was sitting inside with a camera in hand, snapping away in Sophia’s direction. Only when she’d disappeared from sight did the person put the camera down and wound up the car window. Subsequently, he checked the photos taken. Seemingly very much satisfied, he then put everything away and started the car before driving off.

Having absolutely no idea about that, Sophia languidly went back into the house. John and Logan were still drinking as the two of them started discussing the Bailey Family. As Logan disliked Isabelle, he spoke ill of her every so often, criticizing her incessantly. Leaning against the entrance to the dining room, Sophia listened for a while before she found it futile. Actually, each person has his or her own opinion as to whether Isabelle is a nice person. Forcing one’s view onto another person will only backfire. She then turned around and went upstairs.

A sigh came from the other end, and the woman’s voice started cracking. “I knew it! I knew that you’d resent us. But Soph, we had our own difficulties. Back then, your father wanted to start a business, but as you know, that poverty-stricken place was no place for a business. Later on, we owed people too much money, and they came to demand repayment every single day. Our life was dismal, so your father and I had no choice but to leave and make a living elsewhere. We wanted to make some money and return for a good life.”

Sophia dissolved into laughter. “Well, the two of you have left for more than 20 years, no? Where’s the money? Were you two dazzled after going out there and seeing the myriad temptations of the world? You then felt that it’s better out there, and there’s nothing to miss at the small mountain village back home. Am I right?”
