The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 974

Old Mrs. Constance seemed to be schooling him on behalf of Sophia as she added, “You can’t keep doing this. Sophia is pregnant now. You can’t leave her alone at home like this. No matter how busy you are at work, I do not believe that you need to work this late into the night.”

John nodded without explaining what he had been up to last night. To his grandmother, he only said, “I won’t do that anymore. From now on, I will try to leave work earlier and come home to keep her company.”

Old Mrs. Constance nodded in satisfaction and looked at Sophia. “This fellow has made a promise here. If he breaks his promise, you can talk to me. I will deal with him for you.”

Sophia instantly knew that Old Mrs. Constance was acting this way on purpose to soothe her anxiety from last night.

She nodded gratefully and said, “Okay, Grandma, I will come to you for help if he breaks his promise. Just don’t favor him by then.”

Old Mrs. Constance gave her grandson a warning stare. “Don’t worry. I’ve got my walking stick ready. If he neglects you, I will definitely beat him up.”

John smiled and shook his head at the cute scene without a comment.

The amicable atmosphere made it a lovely lunch for everyone.

Compared to last night, Sophia clearly had a better appetite.

After lunch, she suddenly recalled something and turned to ask John, “By the way, Dylan has a girlfriend now. Do you know what she looks like?”

John frowned for a moment. Meeting Dylan’s girlfriend was out of the question when he did not even have the time to meet with Dylan over the past two days.

Thus, he pursed his lips and replied, “I heard that Aunt Jennifer went to the company two days ago to have lunch with Dylan’s girlfriend. I only knew about it through Dad and I didn’t get to meet the girl.”

Beside them, Matilda interjected, “Don’t sweat about it. When you meet your Aunt Jennifer, she will tell you all about it. You don’t even need to ask; she will blurt out everything.”

That sounded about right, Sophia thought. As she chuckled, she said, “Yeah, you’re right.”

After lunch, John stayed around for a bit longer.

The four of them chatted for some time before Sophia started to feel drowsy.

Then, John followed her back to their room and lay down beside her like he was about to coax a child to sleep.
