The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 790

Sophia and Matilda were strolling about in the garden. William and John saw them at once when they got out of the car, after which they stopped in their tracks. William stood next to the car and looked in Matilda’s direction. “When your matter is handed over to Dylan, the Bailey Family’s matters are also handed over to him. Although Isabelle is still the main person responsible for them, most of the work has been handed over to the business manager.”

John made a noncommittal grunt. “Really? I haven’t noticed. At work, I’m not really interested in their family’s matters.”

William paused for a moment before asking, “Did that guy you capture say anything?”

Turning his head, John looked at William. “He did reveal some of it, and I’m investigating now. I have a feeling that it has something to do with the Bailey Family. But it’s just a feeling.”

William froze. Then, he frowned and asked, “Are you sure?”

After all, the Bailey Family was involved in business. Although they had many tactics and schemes, they probably wouldn’t do such a thing. Even if they really had a dispute with the Constance Family, they would just lay some obstacles for the latter in the business circle instead of getting someone to do something so unscrupulous like this.

It was simply not something people in business did.

John considered for a minute. “It’s only a guess. After all, I don’t have any hard evidence right now that proves that it’s the Bailey Family who is behind it. I’ll continue investigating the matter.”

William and John hadn’t moved and remained standing by the car. Sophia and Matilda remembered that lunch was ready by now, so they came back from the garden, only to run into the men.

Seeing them, Matilda couldn’t help smiling at once. William stared at her, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably too.

But Sophia wasn’t smiling. Instead, she slowly walked over to John’s side and said, “Isabelle invited us to have dinner with her this evening.”

John nodded as Matilda had called to tell him about this before.

It wasn’t that the two of them had never had a walk like this in the past thirty years of their married life. The point was that they had never been so agreeable with each other before.

Back then, when they walked together, Matilda talked most of the time while William kept quiet. But now, the two of them were talking and laughing together as they came over. Old Mrs. Constance had never seen such a sight in her life.

Sophia walked a little faster than the others. When she saw Old Mrs. Constance standing there, she knew that lunch was ready. Hence, she quickly said, “I’m starving. Quick, let’s go and eat.”

She was much more energetic than before. Upon seeing her like that, Old Mrs. Constance became more satisfied with her. She laughed and told Sophia, “Hurry up then. The food is ready.” Then she looked at John and William. “I knew that you two would be back at noon, so I had the kitchen prepare your lunch too.”

William was a little embarrassed as he smiled through pursed lips, while John did not have much reaction at all. After all, he had gotten used to being thick-skinned.

During lunch, Sophia told everyone that she was going over to Logan’s clubhouse with Matilda later.
