The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 821

Walking up to Sophia, Dylan replied, “I couldn’t sleep as well. It felt really boring to be on the bed, so I decided to

come take a walk.” There was some morning dew on his hair.

Since the rock was large enough to accommodate two people, Sophia asked, “Do you want to take a rest?”

Dylan gave it a look and took a seat beside her.

Gazing at the view beyond the bamboo forest, Sophia commented, “It’s my first time seeing this view in the

morning. It feels good.”

Dylan flashed a smile at her. “I’ve seen the view countless times, so I’m rather used to it now.”

After a pause, Sophia said, “John told me that you’re responsible for dealing with the Baileys now. Has it been

troublesome for you?”

“Not really.” Dylan smacked his lips. “After I took over the responsibility, the Baileys assigned someone else to deal

with me. I wonder why.”

Knowing the reason behind that, Sophia pressed her lips together without uttering a word.

Dylan continued, “Isabelle came to our company some time ago. After a chat, I found her to be a pushover. She

didn’t seem to have her own opinions.”

His remark surprised Sophia, for she had always believed that Isabelle was an opinionated person.

Then, Dylan went on to say, “Perhaps it’s got something to do with the environment she has grown up in. After all,

she’s a woman, and she has a brother, so she’s destined to not take over the company. She’s just managing the

company for the time being.”

Although Sophia didn’t understand Isabelle’s family matters, she knew that the latter had a brother. After giving it a

thought, she asked, “Isn’t it wonderful to have a daughter and a son?”

Dylan nodded. “It’s indeed great to have a daughter and a son at the same time, but to the Baileys, maybe a

daughter isn’t so important.”

Sophia fell silent, for she thought that men were only valued more than women in the village, as men were needed

to work on the farmlands. Since men were strong, they were naturally in a more preferable position.

Sophia knew that was the norm in the village, but she didn’t understand why the same thing happened in the city.

Dylan chuckled. “That’s just how I feel. Maybe that’s not really the case.”

After sitting for a while longer, Dylan had to go back. Not wanting to return yet, Sophia insisted upon staying here.

Nodding, Dylan told her to be careful and turned to leave.

Moments later, Sophia’s phone started ringing in her pocket. She thought it was John, but after checking the screen,

she was surprised to learn that it was Logan instead. It was really unusual for him to call her at this hour, so she

immediately accepted the call. However, the caller was one of Logan’s subordinates instead of himself.

The subordinate was speaking in a lowered voice. Apparently, he decided to call Sophia without Logan’s knowledge.

Frowning, Sophia asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Miss Gwendolyn, can you come over to the clubhouse? Our boss is throwing a tantrum, but no one is able to calm

him down,” the subordinate said.

Feeling surprised, Sophia questioned, “Why is he mad? What happened?”

Having no clue himself, the subordinate replied in a hushed tone, “I think he was beaten up. I can see there’s a

bruise on his face, but I dared not ask him about it.”

Sophia stood up straight. “He’s beaten up?” She could never believe that Logan was harmed. Given his temper,

even if someone had the guts to attack him, he would surely retaliate immediately.

The employees at the clubhouse were stunned that Logan came to the place in the morning and started breaking

everything for no reason while cursing in an incomprehensible manner. Since he was rarely so incensed, the
