The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 846

John only nodded in front of Lady Jennifer in silence and headed straight to the main building. While Old Mrs. Constance and Sophia were nowhere to be seen downstairs, the maids were busy cooking in the kitchen. After scanning his surroundings, he proceeded to head upstairs to the bedroom. As soon as he opened the door, he realized that Sophia was sound asleep in the bed, so he quickly tiptoed into the room so as to not to wake her up.

Then, John slowly walked closer to Sophia and sat beside her while caressing her hair. Ian’s vacation has been confirmed. Although it’s not a long one, the break should be enough for him to get all the rest he wants. When he comes back, it’ll be time for us all to talk about the matter.

Meanwhile, Sophia was sleeping so soundly that John’s presence didn’t even wake her. At the same time, John was leaning against the nightstand when he received a text message from one of his men about the answers they had gotten from the interrogation. ‘Those people are not a part of the top management, so there is nothing much useful they can provide.’ Despite the limited information, John still had what was needed to move on to his next target. After sending a reply to show his acknowledgement, he put down his phone.

Then, John noticed Sophia’s phone on the nightstand and he reached for it, noticing a missed call from Logan. That call only lasted only a few seconds. Although he initially wondered whether the call was mistakenly made, he quickly dismissed the thought and put it behind him. After that, he continued to keep Sophia company until the maid came up and informed him that lunch was ready. It was at that time that the knock on the door woke Sophia up. When she opened her eyes, she caught sight of John beside her, which scared her quite a bit.

John then got off the bed. “It looks like you were really tired. You slept like a log.”

When John helped Sophia up, she said, “Well, it was a great nap. I’m feeling so much more refreshed right now.”

Then, John helped Sophia fix her hair while replying, “I’m worried about you, girl. You shouldn’t be sleeping too much.”

Sophia answered, “Alright. Let’s get downstairs. I’m starving after a nap.”

John was amused by the lady’s response as he found her lovely and adorable. As both of them walked down the corridor, they ran into Old Mrs. Constance who happened to step out of her room. When the old lady saw her grandson, she didn’t seem surprised and merely asked, “Didn’t your dad come back with you?”
