The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 398

The peace was too unsettling, which felt inexplicably weird to Sophia. John was giving her the silent treatment again

as usual, but this wasn’t like any other time. This time, they were cutting all ties.

Sophia thought this was fine, for they would come to this sooner or later. Given their relationship, it was best if they

had no more contact. The sooner we cut ties, the better.

True to his word, John didn’t come anymore, while Logan kept pestering Sophia these couple of days. He wanted

her to go with him to a birthday banquet.

Sophia’s first reaction was of rejection. With how things stood now, she couldn’t attend an event like that publicly.

Any event Logan took part in would also invite other powerful people or public figures.

She didn’t know them, but they might know her. If she were to go with Logan and someone recognized her as

John’s ex-wife, it’d be awkward for everyone.

However, Logan didn’t think that much. He told her he didn’t like events like that either, but his dad insisted on

taking him there for some experience. Refusing to be killed by boredom, he wanted to bring Sophia along; at least

she could provide some fun.

Sophia bought that excuse the first time, but now it annoyed her. “Your dad’s right.” She nodded. “You should be

going around more. Don’t just play poker or chess all day. Go out. Have an adventure.”

After his first attempt’s failure, Logan started pleading. “Aw, can’t you just come with me? Lil’ old me here’s going

to get bored alone.”

Sophia could imagine how Logan looked right now, pouting as he pleaded with her to go with him, his gold chain

dangling. Godd*mmit, that’s disgusting.

She was about to stop him, but then Logan started talking normal. That style of speaking disgusted him too. “I know

what you’re worried about, but just be you. You don’t have to care what everyone thinks. I mean, everyone hates

me, but that doesn’t stop me from being happy. I can do whatever I want, and nobody can stop me. If they think

I’m annoying, they can piss off.”

Sophia stopped herself from talking, waiting for Logan to continue. When he did, he said, “That divorce was not

your fault. You don’t have to be scared of them. Just tell them to f*ck off if they don’t like you. Those *ssholes are

just jealous.”

When she heard that, she laughed. Logan didn’t mince his words, but Sophia thought he had a point.

Logan decided that Sophia would go with him now that she wasn’t refusing the invitation. “So that settles it. I’ll get

you the dress. You don’t have to do anything. Just go with me, and we’ll crash the party.”

Then, he hung up.

Sophia wasn’t worried about attending events like this, for she went with John once. The only reason for her

reluctance was her worry of being recognized, but there was nothing to be concerned about. Now that Sophia had

thought it through, she stopped dwelling on this matter.

After days of not contacting Ian, she wondered how he was faring in his company. She had nothing to do after

dinner, so Sophia called him, but to her surprise, Ian was on an appointment. Even though she had a wild

imagination, Sophia couldn’t imagine how Ian was like in this scenario. He had always been soft-spoken, which

made it impossible for her to see him talking loudly. That was like imagining John as a gentle, warm man, and Logan
