The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 91

Perhaps Sophia sounded like she was joking and this made Dylan laugh out loud.

Sophia turned to look at Dylan and asked, “Did I sound fake?”

Dylan nodded and replied, “Yes.”

Sophia shrugged her shoulders. “Then, I can’t help it.” After both of them walked further into the bamboo forest, Sophia stood still. She continued, “But your cousin and I have yet to divorce each other. Initially, we wanted to get a divorce. However, we found out that it wasn’t easy to start and end a marriage. Hence, we decided to give each other another chance.”

Sophia smiled and asked, “Now that I’ve put it this way, would you believe me?”

Dylan remained in his position and thought for a while. “Since you’ve put it this way, I think there’s more credibility to it now.”

Sophia then chuckled. “That’s because it’s the truth.” As the bamboo forest’s terrain was a little higher, they could see the entire Constance Residence while standing in their current position. Sophia continued, “Your family is really wealthy. The Constance Residence covers such a large area.”

Dylan agreed and added, “All I can say is that we have a better life since we know how to reincarnate.”

He was right and Sophia fell silent. The earth was filled with too many unfair things. One’s life was already determined at the very beginning. Some people were born into rich families, like John and Dylan. Even if they did not work hard, they were still able to get what others could not even if those people had worked hard for their entire lives. Other people, on the other hand, were born into broken families. For instance, Sophia herself. She had been suffering a lot since childhood. Now that she was all grown up, it seemed that all those sufferings did not bear any fruits and bring her any achievements. That was why the ‘chicken soup for the soul’ was a lie.

Dylan turned to look at Sophia. “What I’ve just said sounds realistic, right?”

“Yes, and a little cruel too.” Sophia sighed. From there, they could see the distribution of the lands within the Constance Residence clearly. The main building covered the largest area. In fact, Sophia was still unsure of the reason these people would live in such a large house. What if somebody suddenly had diarrhea? If they did not manage to run to the bathroom in time, then… wouldn’t it be embarrassing? At the thought of this, Sophia’s heart became slightly balanced again. By looking at this, the problems faced by the rich were unimaginable for normal people.

Following that, the two of them stood there and did not speak any more until it had turned completely dark outside. Suddenly, Sophia waved her hands and said, “Hurry up. We need to hurry back. The sky has turned dark now. If you kill me right now, no one would know about it, so I’m quite scared. Let’s hurry up and return home.”

Dylan turned to look at Sophia with a funny look on his face. Sophia then held out her phone and turned on the flashlight. With the help of the light, they were able to walk out of the bamboo forest. Dylan, who was following behind, asked, “I remember clearly that you weren’t like this before.”

Sophia replied, “What do you mean by that? Are you telling me that I’ve become prettier?”

With this, Dylan laughed and did not speak anymore.

When the two of them reached the back door, Sophia instructed Dylan, “Please help me put the ladder back over there. I’ll be off first.”

Dylan remained silent, while Sophia had no intention of waiting for him to reply and immediately left. The man stood where he was and looked at Sophia’s figure. The smile on his face also gradually faded away.

Sophia had just reached the garden when she saw John walking over toward her. It seemed that he was looking for her as his face was not looking quite well. Sophia then greeted him and smiled. Staring at Sophia, he asked, “Where have you been? It’s already late and you’re still not in your bedroom yet.”

She thought that his words were funny and asked, “Why? How would I be lost when I’m at the Constance Residence? Besides, what else could happen here?”

John did not say a word; his face did not seem to have relaxed a little. Sophia then puffed and did not continue the conversation with John anymore. Instead, she walked slowly toward the main building.

Meanwhile, John followed behind her. There was no one in the living room now. It seemed that everyone had returned to their room to rest. With one of them in front while the other following behind, John and Sophia went upstairs. She walked toward the entrance of her bedroom first. Just as she pushed open her door, she thought for a while and paused. Sophia then turned to look at John. “Did you go out to look for me just now?”
