The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 571

John’s expression became severe. “Shift your focus on work instead of browsing gossip. You wouldn’t be making so

many mistakes if you’d just be a bit more serious.” All at once, Zack realized that he’d misspoken, thus pursed his

lips and said nothing.

Opening the file, John scanned through the report. Then, he slammed it close and threw it aside with a plop.

“Alright, leave this here first. It’s nothing urgent, so I’ll take a look at it when I’m free.”

Zack was tickled pink. He’s wholly different now, looking so unsettled. In fact, I know why without him having to

point it out. Thus, he didn’t immediately leave. “Actually, Boss, I don’t think you need to be so conflicted. You just

need to figure out some things and put them into action. Well, your anxiousness every day hasn’t done you any

good, has it?”

John frowned, impatience etched on his face as he stared at Zack. However, before he could say anything, Zack

blurted, “You must figure out whether you still have feelings for Sophia and wish to be with her.

If the answer is no, then your anxiousness is just a result of resentment since you find it incredulous that some

other men are pursuing her after she’d left you. That’s about it. In that case, you’ll be fine when enough time has

gone by.”

John closed his mouth, all the words he’d wanted to say to refute Zack earlier vanishing into thin air. Zack, on the

other hand, continued, “However, if you think you have feelings for her and wish to be with her, then it’s even

easier. Pursue her if you do like her, and put in more effort if you want to be with her.

I don’t believe that your marriage for almost a year will lose to Second Young Master Morgan’s appearance for a

mere handful of months. In my opinion, your chances of winning are considerable.”

John stared at him for a long while before harrumphing. “You talk as though you’re an expert, yet you’re also a

dummy in love.”

At this, Zack tsked. “Don’t underestimate me. I’ve been going on dates recently, so I’ve gained an understanding of

the female mind. Frankly speaking, Boss, regardless of a girl’s personality, all females like aggressive men.

Opportunity only comes when one is aggressive.” After saying this, he arched an eyebrow at John. “Do you

understand me?”

John froze for a few seconds before he immediately put on an impatient expression again. “Alright, alright, that’s

enough nonsense. You’re dismissed. It’ll be best if you focus more on work.”

Knowing that he’d actually taken his words to heart, Zack nodded. “Okay, then. You think on it. I’m going back to

work.”

When he’d left, John slowly fell into a trance. Females like aggressive men, huh? But haven’t I been aggressive? I’ve

been very aggressive. I’ve never been this forward with a woman, still coming on to her despite having been

contradicted to my face time and again. Sometimes, I even find myself despicable. However, he also knew that the

relationship between the two of them would likely be severed if he wasn’t aggressive considering Sophia’s

temperament. Now that the situation is at an impasse, I’m just not sure what I should do to break the deadlock.

Meanwhile, Sophia hurried downstairs for a look after a moment’s contemplation when she awakened. Fabian was

still on the sofa, sprawled out on his back. Heaving a sigh, Sophia then boiled water to cook chicken soup. He’ll

probably be up soon.

Just when she was done, Fabian woke up groggily. A tad dazed, he sat up and looked around before fixing his gaze

on Sophia. “You got me here?”

Sophia took a bowl of chicken soup over to him. “Have you forgotten about your call to me?”

Fabian indeed remembered nothing of the sort, his mind a chaotic mess right now. Taking the chicken soup from
