The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 713

Scoffing, Sophia hoisted herself up before John helped her into the bathroom. As he watched her brush her teeth from the bathroom door with a gentle smile on his face the whole time, she peered at him from the mirror and snorted.

The way he looked at it, she didn’t seem angry at all. Instead, she was just playing hard to get. Despite the fact that she had been rejecting him, her attitude toward him had obviously changed.

Recalling their past, John hugged her from the back and whispered into her ears, “Are you really not considering marrying me again? I’ll hold an even grander wedding for you.”

However, Sophia didn’t want to hear this and spat, “Buzz off.”

Nibbling at her ear, he said, “There are, in fact, many girls who like me. Don’t you feel threatened at all?”

Sophia dodged him and snorted. “Many girls? Yeah, right, like Isabelle.”

Almost instantly, John froze and the look on his face shifted. Isabelle was a topic that shouldn’t be mentioned.

Sighing in frustration, he said, “There’s really nothing between me and Isabelle. I wasn’t considerate enough in the past and couldn’t give you a sense of security.” Spinning her around, he met her eyes with an earnest look. “But it won’t happen again in the future, really.”

Right now, Sophia didn’t believe in these so-called promises as they were utterly meaningless. Shoving him aside, she snapped, “That’s enough. Actions speak louder than words.”

Just when she came out of the bathroom, Matilda happened to come into the room with breakfast. Originally, Sophia wasn’t hungry, but the smell of food made her decide otherwise.

Casting a look at John, Matilda said, “You’ll be having your breakfast downstairs. I’m not serving you.”

Silently, John watched Sophia dig in for a while before going downstairs with Matilda following behind. Tilting his head to look at her, he told her, “Be careful here at home. I discovered a camera on the door panel. Looks like someone has been here.”
