The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 750

The moment Dylan walked in, he sat down on the chair across from John. “I’ve heard about the Baileys. Why do you not want to deal with them yourself?”

Reaching out for the file on the table, John said, “Not exactly. I’ve been too occupied lately and can’t oversee everything.”

With a smirk, Dylan asked, “What happened? Did you have an argument with Miss Bailey or something?”

“Of course not,” denied John without sparing Dylan a glance. “Why would I argue with her? We’re business partners, after all. A cordial relationship is crucial for more wealth to come.”

Pressing his lips together, Dylan said, “I certainly don’t mind accepting this job. As for the Baileys, I’m afraid they may not be pleased. I’m sure someone will contact you once I’ve informed them about this arrangement.”

Chuckling, John said, “Mind you, I’m not sold to their family. It’s just a simple reshuffling within our company, so we don’t really need to care about what they have to say.”

Saying that, John cast a quick glance at Dylan. “I’ve heard that your blind dates didn’t go too well.”

Leaning against the chair, Dylan stared at John. “Not everyone of us is as lucky as you are.”

Confused, John asked, “Me? Lucky?”

Dylan nodded. “At least from what I see, you’re one lucky fella.”

Pursing his lips, John didn’t delve into the meaning of that sentence. “Come to think of it, I do have the devil’s luck.”

Smiling, John advised, “Anyway, you really shouldn’t be that picky. Who knows, sometimes, marrying someone you’re not familiar with might end up being the best decision you’ve ever made.”

With the corner of his mouth curved up, Dylan gazed at John. “Marrying someone unknown? The reason you’re saying this is because you’ve met the right person. Put yourself in my shoes—without knowing what the future holds, I bet you’ll make the same decision as I do.”

Pressing his lips into a thin line, John blurted, “Probably.”

Who knew? Perhaps he would turn them down directly.

Hearing that, John’s eyebrow twitched. Got back together again? he thought.

Probably not. Sophia is only giving me a second chance to make up for my mistakes, and it also depends on my performance. Sadly, she never agreed to marry me again. No plans for remarriage means she doesn’t belong to me, which also means that we aren’t officially back together again.
