The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 889

Sophia smirked before mocking, “You’re really something.”

Anyway, John reminded her to stay put, informing her that he would pick her up at the clubhouse soon and send her home.

She turned around to look at Logan and Ian, who had both blacked out from drinking. Thinking that there was no point staying here, she agreed to John’s idea.

While waiting for John, she called the clubhouse waiter over to take Ian and Logan back to the room. Next, she smoothed her shirt and went downstairs.

Crossing her arms and leaning against the entrance of the clubhouse, she stared blankly at the stream of cars out there. Soon, John arrived before he got out of his car. When he noticed that she was standing at the entrance, he jogged over and immediately asked, “Where’s Ian?”

Annoyed, she stole a glance at him. “Why? Do you miss him?”

John snorted in a childish fashion. “I was just asking. I wanted to see if that man is still clingy to you all the time.”

Not bothered to entertain him, she chided him, “Get lost! Do you think Ian is at your level?”

Since the other two men were unconscious from drinking, there was no need for Sophia to bid goodbye, so she followed John to his car. The moment they were seated, John muttered, “Wait.”

She froze in the middle of fastening her seatbelt and turned to stare at him. He was focused on the rearview mirror, squinting his eyes and losing his relaxed expression from before. She was confused by the change in him, hence, she inched closer to him. “What’s the matter?”

He walked up and put an arm around her shoulder. “Probably. Let’s forget about that for now and have dinner. When I’m free after dinner, I’ll check the situation with them.”

She noticed that John was reluctant to discuss the topic and therefore stopped pressing on. She could not get to the bottom of everything anyway, and it didn’t matter if she was in the dark on this matter.

On the other side, Isabelle received from the hospital a post-mortem report with the analysis of the toxins in Dexter’s stomach, after which she sat in her car for a long time. Although she had foreseen this outcome, the moment she faced the reality presented by the report, her heart still wrenched and ached.

She could not possibly drive in her bad condition, therefore she ended up hailing a cab back home. The Bailey Residence was totally different from yesterday; the family was chaotic last night but eerily quiet today.

At home, Isabelle slowly walked up the stairs and looked around when she reached the top of the stairs. Everyone else was in their respective rooms. They were cooped up, and their meals were brought up by the servants. After some thinking, she finally headed to Elder Mr. Bailey’s room.
