The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 939

John’s expression remained dark. After Sophia went upstairs, he told his grandmother that he had to go to work. However, after driving his car out of the residence, he did not head for the company. In fact, on his way to his destination, he gave Isabelle a call.

Isabelle was surprised that John was calling her. At that moment, she was seated on the couch in the living room, and her grandfather was just some distance away.

Hearing the phone call, Elder Mr. Bailey turned to Isabelle, who then showed the screen to him and said, “It’s John.”

Upon learning that it was John’s phone call, he nodded in delight and said, “Go on. Talk to him.”

With an embarrassed expression, Isabelle rose from the couch and pointed outside.

Thinking that she was shy to be talking to John over the phone in front of him, her grandfather nodded.

After stepping out of the house, Isabelle picked up the call. “Yes?”

John then told her what Sophia had encountered previously and asked her if anything was amiss with her family members.

Startled for a moment, Isabelle gave it a thought and said, “Something does feel off for the past two days. My grandpa and my dad would always have discussions behind closed doors. I tried to eavesdrop on their conversations, but I couldn’t hear anything.”

Hesitated for a while, she then continued, “I’ve been trying to look for a chance to talk to my dad. I hope to persuade him to give up those family businesses and turn over a new leaf. John, please understand what I’ve been going through. By then, I hope you’ll forget your grudges with my family members.”
