The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 742

After the waiter had left, Sophia said, “I saw a guy with her. They met up at the front door for a moment before

going in.”

“A guy?” Matilda frowned. “You must be seeing things.”

It was impossible for Mrs. Bailey to go out with a man. She was an arrogant woman who cared about her pedigree,

so she would never go out with another man without her husband beside her. Sophia wasn’t sure either, for she

only had a glimpse. It could be possible she got the wrong person.

Taken aback, Matilda got to her feet and went to look outside the window, but there was nothing to be seen for the

moment. “You must have gotten the wrong person,” she mumbled. “I don’t think she’d do that.”

Sophia leaned back against the chair and played along. “I guess. I only had a glimpse, so I’m not sure. I’m getting

stupider these days, and my eyes are playing tricks on me.” Even so, Matilda looked on for a while before coming

back to her spot. The waiter then came with their water, and Sophia poured a glass for her and Matilda. “You must

have gotten along with Mrs. Bailey well.”

Matilda picked her glass up. “Yes. I used to adore Isabelle, so I got along with the Baileys. That’s why Mrs. Bailey has

been polite to me.”

Not now she isn’t though. Since their meeting in the shopping mall back then, she knew Mrs. Bailey disliked her, for

she had gotten along with Sophia and ditched Isabelle.

Sophia looked outside, and a plan hatched in her mind. “Do you know Mrs. Bailey’s car, then?”

“Well, of course I do.”

Sophia chuckled, and Matilda knew what she was thinking about, so she rolled her eyes. “You cheeky girl. But why

do you care so much about her? Is it important?”

Sophia started putting on her puppy-eye look. “Aw, just take a look for me. I’ll tell you once you come back.”

Matilda shot her a sidelong glance, looking disgusted, but she stood up anyway. “Alright, alright, I’ll go take a look.

John’s going to get mad at me if I don’t follow your orders.”

Why did you have to drag him into this?

Matilda went out, and Sophia went to the windowsill. A short while later, she saw Matilda exiting the restaurant and

pacing around on their side of the street before going across it. After that, she did the same on the other side

before she stopped to look around for a bit more. In the end, she looked up at Sophia and shrugged.

Sophia knew she didn’t find anything, so she waved at Matilda, asking her to come back. Right when she came back

into the lobby, Sophia saw someone coming out of the seafood restaurant. After a pause, she quickly snapped a

photo with her phone.

It was Mrs. Bailey herself. She didn’t wear any mask, though she was in casual wear. She came out alone and

looked around her before going away.

Instead of paying attention to Mrs. Bailey, Sophia kept looking at the restaurant’s door. Eventually, a man came out

after Mrs. Bailey drove away. Sophia couldn’t remember the face of the man she saw earlier, but she remembered

his clothes, and it was the same as what this man was wearing.

Instead of taking his photo, Sophia recorded his every move. Just like Mrs. Bailey, after leaving the restaurant, he

stood at the entrance and looked around for a while before straightening his clothes and leaving.
