The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 64

 

 

 

John’s tone was neither light nor heavy. However, it gave Sophia a vague feeling that he wasn’t happy.

 

Thus, Sophia raised her brows and said nothing.

Meanwhile, the bartender glanced at the singer, then glanced at John. He seemed rather confused. At first, he thought Sophia was the singer’s girlfriend. But, looking at it now, it seemed like the woman also had a pretty close relationship with the man beside her.

The singer looked calm. “Why don’t you make them a drink? It’s not like you have anything going on right now anyway.”

The singer knew John. The last time he met Sophia by the beach, John had dragged her away on the spot. Still, Sophia mentioned that she was divorced. So, the singer observed John with a smile.

Seeing as the singer had already said that, the bartender naturally nodded in agreement. “Okay.”

Afterward, John ordered two drinks. The two names he mentioned were not something Sophia had ever heard of before. Ghost in the Graveyard? What’s that?

The bartender was rather professional. He prepared his ingredients and began mixing the drinks. Sophia was still leaning across the bar, watching as the bartender did various tricks while making the drinks.

 

Then, Zack leaned over and whispered to her, “I thought you were sleeping in the room. When did you come out?”

She swept a glance at him. “A long time ago.”

After a few moments, Zack suddenly roared with laughter and spoke in a louder voice, “I say; you don’t have to do this just because the two of you were in a fight, right? How can you visit a bar? Sophia, just you wait. You’ll face the music from your husband when you get back.”

 

Sophia said nothing; her actions and expression didn’t change either.

On the other hand, the bartender jumped in shock. First, he stared at Sophia. Then, he stared at the singer with a look of shock. What? She’s married?

The singer leaned against the bar and smilingly said, “Stop staring. Hurry up and finish the drinks.”

The bartender was still very confused. Even so, he swiftly finished preparing the two drinks and handed them over.

John picked up his glass and took a small sip.

Imitating him, Zack did the same.

After that, Sophia looked at Zack. “Well? How does it taste?”

Zack was not experienced in these kinds of things. So, he could only nod when he met her curious gaze. “It’s okay.”

Sophia laughed and replied shamelessly, “I can tell you don’t know any more than I do about those drinks! You can’t even evaluate it even if you wanted to!”

 

 

After saying that, she chuckled to herself.

On the other hand, John ignored them. After taking a sip, he found the taste to be acceptable. Thus, he finished the drink in several gulps.

 

“It’s professional.” That was his evaluation of the drink. Then, he took out his wallet, paid for the drinks, and said to Zack, “Let’s go.”

Zack wasn’t done with his drink. Upon hearing those words, he quickly downed it in one shot. Putting his glass down, he gave Sophia a warning look before quickly chasing after John.

After John left, the singer asked, “Your ex-husband?”

In response, Sophia made a non-committal sound. “Because of some stuff, I’m entangled in his affairs.” However, she immediately smiled again. “Well, I benefit a lot from it. So, it’s nothing.”

Afterward, she slowly finished her cocktail. Reaching out, she patted the singer on the shoulder. “Thanks! But, I’m afraid I’m not good with alcohol. I need to go back and sleep this off. Otherwise, I’m going to embarrass myself.”

The bartender had been a little mischievous just now and made the cocktail a little stronger than normal. He thought that she was the singer’s new target, so he wanted to help create an opportunity.

Getting off the chair, Sophia waved and walked out. When she neared the door, she could hear the bartender asking in disbelief, “She’s married? She sure doesn’t look it!”
