The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 394

John could understand that, but he was here for something else. “Grandma told me you guys weren’t in love when

you were married.”

William smiled. “She really tells you everything, huh?” Released from his burden, William told him openly, “We spent

the first five years arguing, but then we settled down. I think the love only started budding from that point.”

“Five years? That’s a long time,” John mumbled.

“Yeah, it was,” he replied. “We took a longer time than most couples. Some of them started falling in love right

after the marriage, but we were different. Your mother has a big attitude. It was impossible to fall for her.” Then, he

guffawed. The divorce didn’t seem to affect him adversely. Instead, he looked happier than ever.

That was when John slowly looked sterner, and he frowned.

“Why are you suddenly asking me this though?” William queried.

John sighed. “Nothing. I just feel puzzled.”

William looked at his son. “About what? Sophia, or Isabelle?”

A serious expression crept up on John’s face. “Isabelle?”

William crossed his hands on his legs. “You went to the golf course with Isabelle that day.”

To that, John grunted. “Yes. I told you that I had to inspect a sample product for future supply purposes.”

When he heard that, William shook his head. “You’re still inexperienced, so you don’t know what happened.” It

“You shouldn’t have gone out with Isabelle alone. No matter what, you two meeting alone is bad, given the

condition.” Then, William changed his tone. “Forget it. Now that we’re at this point, it’s useless to talk about it. Just

put it in the past.”

That was John’s plan anyway; he wouldn’t be paying attention to it now that it had happened.

William looked at him. “Just be more careful after this.”

“I understand.” John then stood up.

After talking about the collaboration with the Baileys for a while, John lost his patience and left William’s room when

he realized that they hadn’t touched on anything important.

Even after he came back to his bed, John was still frowning. A moment later, he clutched his chest, his heart

pounding furiously. I seriously dislike this feeling.

His parents only fell in love with each other after five years, but he got the divorce after one year. That meant that

he had barely interacted with Sophia then, so he didn’t feel like he could fall for her. After being in the business

world for so long, John knew he was a paranoid guy. It wasn’t easy for him to love someone, but how else could he

explain the weird emotions he was feeling? It’s not like I’m not used to being alone.

He let out a sigh and took out his cigarettes, wanting to ease his frustration. As he lit his cigarette, he texted Zack,

asking about the following itinerary even though he knew it by heart already. Zack was surprised, but he sent him
