The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 811

Dylan laughed in a hollow manner and said, “You always say that Sophia is of no help to me. Look at John. He’s never gotten anything from her, but he’s obviously living a happy life. Now look at what kind of miserable life I’m leading.”

Startled, Lady Jennifer told her son in puzzlement, “There’s nothing wrong with your life. You’re single, so you can pursue any woman freely. Your life is as great as John’s. I’d even say that you’re living a greater life than him.”

Feeling helpless, Dylan shook his head. “How did you come to the conclusion that I’m living a better life than him? I don’t feel happy. In fact, I’m jealous of him.”

Lady Jennifer consoled him by saying, “Dylan, don’t worry. You’ll come across a better woman…”

Not wanting to listen to any of that anymore, Dylan decided to leave. After moving past his mother, he halted his steps and said, “As a matter of fact, Sophia has never been into me. It’s her who isn’t interested in getting together with me, not the other way round. You have to understand that.” With that, he stepped out of the room.

Rendered speechless, Lady Jennifer stood in the doorway of the study and gazed at her son’s figure from behind.

Meanwhile, Sophia was reaching for the bamboo forest. She was surprised that the place had been cleaned up, so the hill trail now looked pretty clean. In a slow manner, she walked up the hill. In fact, she didn’t have a particular destination in mind. She simply decided to take a stroll because she was bored.

As a pregnant woman, she shouldn’t strain herself, so she had to move slowly. Normally, it would take her only ten minutes to reach the top of the hill, but on this day, it took her thirty minutes to reach the clearing on the crest.

To her surprise, there was a wooden bench over there. She chuckled and wondered who was so considerate to install such a thing here, for it wasn’t there the last time she came. Walking over, she took a seat on the bench for a rest.

A moment later, her phone in the pocket started ringing. When she fished out her phone and checked the screen, her mood turned bad in an instant. What a relentless and shameless person.

Sophia almost laughed in exasperation. There’s nothing to settle between that woman and me. Upon blocking the number, she remained on the seat to enjoy the breeze on the hill.
