The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 444

Sophia looked at the set of jewelry she just won, which included a necklace, earrings, and a bracelet. Looks like it

can only be a collection from the design and color. It’s really horrible to wear jewelry with this shade of green.

With her hand still holding Sophia’s, Kate dragged her to have a conversation with Belinda, who praised Sophia for

always being blessed.

Sophia almost laughed out loud at that compliment. Am I blessed? Well, I’ve never felt that way.

Glancing nonchalantly toward John’s direction, she saw that he was having a conversation with Isabelle, who

appeared happy from the smile on her face, and even gestured with her hands during the conversation.

On the other hand, John merely kept his lips pursed and nodded with a rather strict expression. Next to him, Dylan

stood and stared at her. When their eyes met, Sophia was first startled but then immediately flashed him a smile.

Even though it was just a polite smile, he seemed delighted and waved at her, which she acknowledged with a nod.

From the corner of his eyes, John saw him waving and caught Sophia nodding at him from the stage. These two are

even flirting openly now, he thought with a tightened jaw and frowned at the sight.

When Sophia was turning away, she accidentally caught John’s gaze for a split second, causing a change in her

attitude at once, and she rolled her eyes at him boldly, even snorting coldly at him regardless if he could hear it or

not.

Soon, the assistant returned, and silence fell over the room. Below the stage, John kept his eyes fixed on Sophia,

watching her excited face helplessly.

This divination lot was actually drawn on behalf of the Blackwells, or Kate wouldn’t have used her beloved treasure

as the grand prize. Previously, John had found out from Belinda that the Blackwells ran into some issues in their

business, and Kate was also feeling unwell. Hence, they probably wanted to ward off the bad luck with this

divination lot.

As businessmen were usually superstitious, it would be fine if the oracle had come back with good news. If it was

otherwise, then the situation would turn awkward for Sophia.

First, the assistant went straight to Kate and bowed to her, and she bowed back politely. Then, he took out the

divination lot and spoke in a serious tone which wasn’t too loud, but was clear for everyone to hear since the room

was silent. “The Heavens has spoken, and this is an auspicious divination,” he announced.

Upon hearing that it was an auspicious lot, Kate beamed and even thanked the Heavens.

“The King chanced upon a deity, and gentleness will always win over brutality. Good fortune will befall those who

are kind, and anyone who draws this lot would run into an oasis in times of draught,” the assistant continued.

Sophia had no idea what the divination meant and blinked blankly at the spectators. From the corner of her eyes,

she spotted John and Dylan who looked pleased.

So that means this divination lot is exceptionally lucky?

Nobody knew if Kate really understood what the divination meant, but she kept thanking the Heavens while the

assistant bowed at her and handed her the divination lot written by the oracle. Thereafter, he gathered the priests

on the stage and left with the chest which was filled with divination lots.

It was clear for everyone that Kate seemed overjoyed now, and she finally released Sophia’s hand. After looking

through the divination lot a few times, she showed it to Belinda.

“I told you Sophia is a blessed person,” Belinda said after reading the lot, then turned to look at Sophia.

Sophia chuckled dryly and asked, “May I take a look at it?” And Kate hurriedly showed it to her.
