The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 855

Sophia proceeded to tell Matilda the same reason she told Ian—that Logan was drunk and asleep. In response, Matilda replied, “Oh, I see. But why would he drink in the day? What’s wrong with him?”

After hearing Matilda’s question, Sophia only smiled in silence as she didn’t know how to put it to her. Soon, Matilda sat next to her and asked, “So, what’re we going to do now? Just sit here all day?”

Sophia looked up at the ceiling and sighed. “That’s a good question. I have no idea what we could do to kill time.”

Not long after that, Matilda seemingly figured out a way to kill time, so she beckoned to one of the staff and said, “Let’s play poker. Come and join us.”

Sophia helplessly stared at Matilda. “You’re quite the gambler, aren’t you?”

Matilda shot a gaze at Ian and asked, “Care to join us?”

At the same time, Ian was just done with his meal. “Sure, why not?”

Meanwhile, Sophia was beginning to think that playing poker was, in fact, not a bad idea, or they would be bored to tears while waiting for Logan to wake up. Before heading over to the game room, Sophia told another staff to check on Logan. That dude has been out like a dead man since the moment he was carried to his room. I doubt he is going to wake up anytime soon.

As the four of them began to play their game, the atmosphere was instantly lightened up. Shortly after the first round started, Sophia received a call from John, which she didn’t bother looking at before answering it because she was too engrossed in the poker game.

As soon as Matilda had her turn, she suddenly paused when she heard footsteps walking up the stairs, yet she wasn’t alone because Ian could clearly hear that too. The next moment, Ian had his eyes glued to the door that was left open until John showed up as both men quickly locked eyes with each other.

Soon, the two of them didn’t seem happy, although John appeared to have the upper hand in the mental game by acting magnanimously. He then turned his attention to Sophia and stood beside her, placing his hand on the back of the lady’s chair. “Why did you stop?”

At that time, the worker, who was playing together, volunteered to give up his place, allowing John to participate in the game. In response, John smiled and said, “I’ll be glad to take over.”

Upon witnessing John’s reaction, a complicated look appeared on Sophia’s face as she couldn’t help but look at Matilda, who seemingly pursed her lips at her to indicate the same feeling that she shared with her.
