The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1173

Lola gave a bark of laughter. “Hurry up and leave. Did you think I’m unaware of your intentions?” After saying that,

she went into the house and slammed the door shut. Then, she exhaled before lifting her hands to her face and

patting her cheeks a few times. I was really feeling shy earlier. I’ve tried my best to suppress it and face him coolly,

but I wonder whether it seemed natural.

She slumped against the door. A while later, she pulled open the door and peered out. He has left. Breathing a sigh

of relief, she closed the door and went back to her room. After mulling it over, she went over to the window and

looked down. All at once, she spotted his car downstairs. This guy hasn’t left yet! Then, she quickly shrunk back and

drew the curtains.

However, before a second had even passed, a call came in from Logan. Gripping her cell phone in her hand, she

hesitated for a long time before answering the call. On the other end, Logan snickered. “You’re reluctant to let me

go? You must be looking at me beside the window earlier, no?”

Lola instantly snorted. “Don’t be so shameless! I was just looking at the weather to see whether it’ll rain tomorrow.”

Logan sighed softly. “If you say so.

You must be tired today, so rest earlier. Also, remember to drink more water. No matter how much juice you drank

today, you still drank something detrimental to health, so drink more water to flush it out.” Murmuring an assent,

Lola whispered, “You, too.” The phone call then ended here. After hanging up the phone, Logan drove away. The

next day, Sophia only woke up when it was almost noon. Opening her eyes, she was greeted by the sight of John

sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at his cell phone. Stunned, she scooted over and hugged him around the

waist. “It’s not a holiday today, so why didn’t you go to work?” John looked at her thoughtfully. “I’m almost done

with my work in the office, so I decided to stay home in the morning. I’ll be all yours after going over in the

afternoon to hand my work to someone else.” Chuckling softly, Sophia nestled into his embrace. “Are you looking at

the news reports about the Baileys?” John answered in the affirmative before telling her about the news report he

was currently reading. The news mainly spoke of Elder Mr. Bailey hiring people to kidnap Sophia, linking this to John

calling off his wedding to Isabelle in the past, so he was claiming that it was revenge. For now, they hadn’t

mentioned the Bailey Family’s involvement in the shadow bank, so they were probably planning to expose things

one after another. Closing her eyes, Sophia laughed maniacally. “Ah, how I wish to see that old geezer! I wonder

how he’s doing now.” Beside her, John commented, “He’s up in years, so I don’t think he’ll get a heavy sentence.

” True. Only then did Sophia realize that. I wonder if that old geezer dared to do as he pleased because he’s old and

has a foot in the grave. However, something else then occurred to her. “It’s okay since he’s old. He has a son, no?

His son can be sentenced, and the entire Bailey Family will then collapse.” Lifting a hand, John caressed her head

and guffawed out loud. I just love this vengeful attitude of hers! “Will Isabelle be implicated?” Sophia then muttered.

Stroking her head, John chuckled upon hearing this question. “Don’t worry. I’ve already greased some palms, so she

won’t be incriminated in this matter. She’ll remain blameless.” Sophia murmured in acknowledgment. “That’s

good.” After thinking for a moment, John added, “I saw the message she sent me this morning. She seems to have

rendezvoused with her mother, so they’ll probably settle down over there.”
