The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

John sighed after some time. “Indeed, we’ve wronged you.”

He had never met Sophia’s grandfather before, but he heard his grandfather mentioning him.

The two old men had a life-long friendship. If it was not for this, he would not have forced John to marry

Sophia.

After some thought, John said, “Alright. Dinner’s ready. Remember to join us for dinner later.”

Sophia nodded her head and John turned to leave.

She waited for a while before shutting the door.

She was playing games on her phone before this, and her phone was thrown onto the bed after John

came by.

Even without thinking, Sophia was certain that she had lost her game.

She walked over to pick up her phone and exited the game and then sat on the bed while looking out

the window.

It was really boring for her to stay at the Constance Residence.

Everyone here disliked her, but truth be told, Sophia disliked every single person in this house too.

It was a terrible thing for her since she could not get away from the people she disliked.

Sophia placed her hands on her legs and rubbed them back and forth.

Her mind had turned and spun several times.

Why should she live such a miserable life when she was wealthy now?

She needed to enjoy that money. Otherwise, it would be annoying to live the same life as before even

when she had so much money.

Sophia licked her lips and thought that it was a matter that needed some research if she wanted to

enjoy her life.

Unfortunately, she was at a loss in this area.

Since Sophia had spent too much of her life living as a poor person, a sudden burst in wealth made her

feel at loss.

On the other hand, John was sitting in his study.

Old Mrs. Constance, William, and Matilda were present too.

John had roughly explained all the important things that happened during his business trip.

William had a serious look on his face. He did not ask about Sophia’s condition; instead, he only stared

at John. “How are you still being plotted against by someone that way?”

John remained emotionless as he explained, “I was careless. I did not expect them to do this.”

As William had been involved in the business world for a long time, these matters were not too

shocking to him.

Old Mrs. Constance nodded beside him and asked, “Is Infinity Group still in contact with you?”

John confirmed and said, “They did call me today, but I didn’t pick up the phone.”

The fact that they could make a move while working under the premise of good cooperation made it

seem that they were capable of more dirty tricks in the future.

They were unsure of what those people would do next.

Old Mrs. Constance sighed. “We’ll let Sophia stay here for now. Indeed, your divorce cannot be leaked

out at this moment since it’s easy for others to write an article about it.”

In fact, the Constance Family had made many enemies in the past years.

Outsiders could not differentiate right from wrong and would generally react on hearsay.

It would be troublesome for the family if the people cooperated to plot against them.

Upon finishing her sentence, Old Mrs. Constance looked at Mrs. Constance, “Matilda, please restrain

yourself in the future. John and Sophia have nothing much to do with each other now, so please stop

going about with your head high in the air.”

Mrs. Constance pursed her lips and waited for quite some time before agreeing with her.

Meanwhile, William looked at John. “Your uncle’s side does not know much about your divorce. I’ll

explain it to them later and say that you didn’t divorce in the end. Perhaps they wouldn’t talk much

about this matter.”

Old Mrs. Constance looked at Mrs. Constance again after hearing William’s words.

On the other hand, Mrs. Constance did not dare to look at her.

Even before John and Sophia divorced each other, Mrs. Constance had already spread the word of

their divorce throughout their home.

She even brought Isabelle home to familiarize her with their household environment.

Now that Sophia was brought back by John again, it would be a mystery as to what the people would

think.

William glanced at Mrs. Constance and felt slightly annoyed. “Matilda, stop getting involved in John’s

matters next time.”

Mrs. Constance took a deep breath before answering, “Alright. I understand.”

Since they were almost done, Old Mrs. Constance stood up and said, “It’s almost time. Let’s go

downstairs and have our meal.”

Mrs. Constance went over to support her and went down together with the others.

After arriving downstairs, they noticed that Sophia had already started eating in the dining room.

She did not wait for anyone and was excitedly having her meal alone.

Mrs. Constance could not help but whisper to Old Mrs. Constance, “Mom, look at her. She doesn’t even

have the appearance of a decent and respectable girl.”

Old Mrs. Constance stared at Sophia.

Since there was no one around her and she thought that the dishes were delicious, Sophia was having

her meal happily.

In fact, it was very appetizing to watch her eat.

She then sighed and said, “Let’s go over and have our meal.”

Meanwhile, John’s face was as usual; he had no problems with this.

He went over to sit by Sophia and glanced at her.

However, Sophia did not look at him. Instead, she said, “I was hungry so I didn’t wait for all of you.”

John chuckled. “It’s fine. There’s no need for so much courtesy.”

Sophia almost laughed at his words.

Indeed, the Constance Family had the most empty forms of courtesy.

The servant served John his bowl of rice. After having two bites of it, he turned to look at Sophia with a

smile on his face.
