The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 521

For the next two days, John didn’t show up at all. He was probably busy dealing with the sordid affairs related to his

family. At night, when Sophia closed the store and was about to part ways with Robin at the entrance, the latter

turned around to look at her. After some consideration, she said, “Sophia, when I came in for work last time, I saw

Mr. Constance and another woman having breakfast together. I thought it over for a while and decided to tell you.”

Astonished, Sophia turned to stare at Robin. A pause later, she said, “It’s normal. John is popular among ladies. It’s

not abnormal to see him with a woman.”

Robin observed her face. “Aren’t you sad? I thought you haven’t let go of him.”

Faced with Robin’s words, Sophia laughed. “I’m not sad, for I’ve started my new life. As for John, well, he is history.”

Robin seemed relieved after getting the response. “I was hesitating to tell you. Maybe I was overthinking.”

After they parted ways, Sophia didn’t hail a cab but walked down the path leading home. If John had breakfast with

a woman, it must’ve been Isabelle. There could be no one else. Well, that’s good. It’s really good.

The next day, Sophia went to work, and she saw someone at the storefront as she approached the entrance.

Feeling surprised, she slowly walked up, and her face fell when she registered the identity of the curious passerby.

Matilda was staring at the sign of her store deep in thoughts. Sophia stood beside and remained silent, waiting for

the lady to notice her. After observing the sign for some time, Matilda finally turned around and was instantly

shocked by Sophia’s presence, which prompted her to snap, “Why are you standing there like a ghost? Are you

trying to scare me to death?”

Sophia rolled her eyes at Matilda and went up to open the doors. “Why are you here? Are you getting breakfast?”

Matilda followed her into the store and looked around. “Business looks fine.”

She stood there for a little while and saw a few customers trickling in. Without a word, Sophia moved into the bar

counter, where Robin was already working. The latter was completely taken aback when she noticed Matilda. After

all, Robin had rewatched the video online a few times and recognized Matilda’s face.

Without even looking at Robin, Matilda checked every single detail in the store and wandered over to the front of

the counter. “Did John come here lately? Is he here often?”

Sophia was knocked off her feet by the sudden question, whereupon she tidied the bar while replying with

questions, “Are you looking for him? Why don’t you just call him? Why are you asking us here?”

Matilda then pursed her lips silently for some time. She did make calls to John, but he refused to pick them up. She

made countless calls to him over the two days, but he remained unreachable.

With just a glance at Matilda, Sophia immediately understood what was going on, and she flashed a smile. “John did

not visit our store. I haven’t seen him for days. If you really can’t get hold of him, you could go to the Constance

Residence or the Constance Group.”

Matilda instantly looked away. She had visited both places suggested by Sophia, but she had no guts to enter either

one. At the Constance Residence, she was fearful of running into the members of the family. The wives of the

second, third and fourth Constance Families had all been yelled at by her in the past. Now that she had fallen from

grace, those women might look at her with judgmental eyes. The reason she didn’t want to show up at the

Constance Group was because of the viral video from before, which embarrassed even herself. Those employees

must have watched the video too, so she had no guts to walk in and look for John.

Therefore, she merely lingered at the entrances of the two locations. And she indeed ran into John. However, in

each encounter, John was surrounded by people, and she could not make her way closer to him.

Sophia was immersed in her work. “If you want to wait for him over here, I guess you’ll be disappointed. He won’t
