The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 788

After brief contemplation, John took his phone over and looked at it. It was apparent in the call log that Isabelle had just called, and the call lasted less than a minute. Sophia had probably picked it up.

Setting the phone to silent mode and putting it back on the bedside table, John lay down and hugged Sophia from behind. Sophia was clearly jolted awake from her sleep, hence, she huffed drowsily and reproached, “So annoying.”

John went along with what she said. “It’s so annoying that she called in the middle of the night without any discretion.”

Sophia couldn’t help chuckling. “You’re more annoying for flirting around.”

Kissing the back of her head, he whispered, “No, I didn’t flirt around. I just want to flirt with you. I don’t have the energy to bother about others.”

Sophia couldn’t be bothered to debate with him. Shifting slightly, she found a comfortable position and fell asleep. She slept so soundly that she didn’t even know when John left in the morning.

When Sophia woke up, she felt very lethargic. She tossed and turned in bed but didn’t feel like getting up. After lazing around for a while, the door opened, and Matilda sneaked in. She was still in her pajamas. When Sophia glanced at her ex-mother-in-law, she was somewhat surprised. “Didn’t you sleep well? Your dark circles are so bad.”

Matilda pursed her lips. “No, I didn’t sleep well. There’s something that I would like you to help me analyze. I couldn’t understand it after pondering about it for the entire night.”

Before she could tell Sophia what it was, the latter laughed. “What’s wrong? What did your ex-husband do to make you so anxious?”

John had a meeting in the morning. Upon walking out of the conference room, he saw Dylan’s office door open when he was heading toward his own office. But it wasn’t Dylan who came out; instead, it was Isabelle.

As expected, Isabelle was now handing over all collaboration matters to Dylan, so it was normal for her to come out of his office. Upon noticing John, Isabelle seemed stunned. She then spoke first, “Hey, John.”
