The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 903

When John hung up, Sophia quickly shuffled over to ask him, “Does this mean your dad and your mom are back together?”

John gave it some serious consideration and looked at her. “I feel like Dad keeps going down the road I once walked.”

She did not immediately understand his meaning and stared at him blankly, to which he added, “I feel that Dad is going to move over to Mom’s place in a few days’ time.”

Upon hearing that, Sophia chuckled joyfully. If that really happened, William would indeed be following John’s footsteps. Anyway, that would also prove that the old man was truly in love.

John didn’t have the time to have breakfast because Dexter’s cremation was set at an early time. After packing his stuff, he was ready to leave in his car. Old Mrs. Constance happened to be awake too and she walked out from her room just as he was about to leave the house, and the two ran into each other in the corridor.

She felt very upset and sorrowful about Dexter’s passing. “Drive slowly and be careful. Nothing matters more than your own safety now,” she advised.

He nodded. “Don’t worry. I know.” Old Mrs. Constance also noticed that he was alone, so she looked confused. “Where’s your dad? Isn’t he going with you?”

John smiled and said, “Dad must have spent the night at Mom’s place. We’ll meet at the hospital.”

She was taken aback for a second, obviously not prepared for that, but she soon nodded. “I see. Alright. Drive slowly and stay safe.”

The family was not given ample time for the farewell before the hospital authority was told to wheel the body to the crematorium. Two staff members came over and they wheeled the gurney to the destination, but not before informing the family that Dexter’s ashes would be ready to be brought home in half an hour’s time.

Despite everything that the mortals strived for in their lives, everyone would eventually end up as nothing but ashes in a tiny box. Old Mr. Bailey stared in the direction of the crematorium for a long time and suddenly started crying while covering his face with his hands. At the moment, he seemed to have reached a realization as he muttered, “Dexter, I’m sorry.”

However, the apology arrived too late. After the gurney was wheeled away, Mrs. Bailey fainted from her crying and those of the branch family helped to move her onto a chair.

Isabelle walked over slowly to the guys and stood beside John. “Thanks for coming.” Not knowing what to say, he could only offer his condolences, which she accepted with a nod. Then, she asked him in a low voice, “Did anything happen to you and Sophia lately?”
