The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 754

After staring at Matilda for a moment, John nodded. “Sure. I can tell that you’re not in good shape. Go out for a walk then.”

In her casual clothes, Matilda gave her hair a quick fix and headed out.

Heading to the dining hall, John took the seat opposite of Sophia. “What’s the matter? Are you feeling blue?”

“Indeed. I just don’t get what your dad is thinking. He came over two days ago, and it seemed like his attitude was genuine, but today, he is nowhere to be seen. Did you see the look on your mom’s face just now? She hasn’t been herself these two days, and he is to be blamed,” Sophia complained.

Picking up the utensils, John said, “Well, it’s really up to them, and I don’t think we should intervene. Besides, they are grownups. They know very well how to handle this on their own, so don’t let it get you down.”

Remaining silent, Sophia was still not pleased.

“Do you keep in contact with Dylan?” asked John abruptly.

Surprised, Sophia asked, “Dylan? Isn’t he your brother? Why will I contact him?”

Lowering his gaze, John said, “I see.”

“What do you suspect this time?” Sophia questioned as she rolled her eyes at him.

To that, John said, “Nothing much. I met him today. He seems to have quite a high opinion of you.”

With a smirk, Sophia sneered. “Well, he’s not blind. Anyone with brains will think highly of me.”

Letting out a heavy sigh, John knew she was firing at him.

With that, both of them didn’t continue with the topic. After eating too many snacks, Sophia didn’t have a good appetite, so she just took a few mouthfuls. Even so, she still sat around and accompanied him till he finished his meal.

Without saying much, they cleaned up the dishes together and went out for a stroll.

As usual, John would hold Sophia’s hand. Suddenly, he said, “Do you know? Initially, Grandpa didn’t plan for us to get married.”
