The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1021

Even at this late hour, John’s subordinates were still working, as they had gone to the shadow bank to look for more

useful leads.

At the time of John’s call, they had just found a basement under the bank, but the place had been emptied out.

Nevertheless, they saw a piece of bone in the basement, which didn’t look like it belonged to an animal.

John was startled as he didn’t expect that they would find this surprising lead, hence he told them to bring the bone

back so that he could have a look. After that, he would try to come up with the next move.

After the subordinate grunted in agreement, John asked, “Have you found anything else?”

After hesitating for a bit, the person replied, “After the shadow bank was closed down, I think they had come back

to empty out this place. Other than the bone, we can’t find anything else.”

John grunted. “Alright. The bone will do. If we can figure out whose bone it belongs to, it will be the best weapon

against the Baileys.”

Since it was really late now, John quickly gave an order and hung up the call. With his phone in his hand, he

remained in the corridor for a while longer before returning to the bedroom.

Knackered from sexual congress, Sophia wasn’t aware that he had left the room as she was sound asleep. In a

careful manner, John got into the bed, after which Sophia instinctively snuggled up to him.

After tidying her hair for her, John lowered his body to kiss her belly and then closed his eyes in satisfaction.

When Sophia awakened the next morning, John was nowhere in sight. Since the sun was up in the sky, she washed

up and decided to go downstairs.

As soon as she stepped on the stairs, she saw that many people were already seated in the living room. Kate, her

daughter-in-law, and her granddaughter had come to visit.

Startled by their sudden visit, Sophia then flashed a smile at them. “Pleasure to see you, Madam Blackwell.

” Kate shook her head. “Will you stop calling me Madam Blackwell?” Keeping her smile, Sophia never responded to

her and went downstairs. Staring at Sophia’s belly, Kate said, “We haven’t met for some time, and your belly has

grown bigger. Your baby grows pretty quickly.” With a smile, Kate said, “You think the baby grows quickly, but it

feels slow to me because I see Sophia every day.” Knowing that Sophia hadn’t had her breakfast, Kate waved her

hand and said, “Have your breakfast first. You don’t have to keep us company. You can join us later when you’re

done with your food.” After Sophia stepped into the dining hall, Kate heaved a sigh and said, “If we didn’t intervene

at that time, Fabian—” Third Mrs. Blackwell hurriedly interrupted, “Mom, stop thinking about this, as you’ll only

upset yourself. We have to turn the page. I’m sure sometime later, you will get over this.” Hearing this, Kate

decided to keep her mouth shut as it was pointless to say this now. Fabian had gone into hiding, so Kate wouldn’t

even know when she would meet him again. He hasn’t gotten over the woman who left him… This was beyond

Kate’s expectations. When Sophia was done with breakfast, she returned to the living room to chat with the

Blackwells. Naturally, the baby in her womb was the center of attention. Kate said, “John should spend more time

keeping you company now. Since William and his brothers are in charge of the company, there won’t be any

problem. During this period of time, John doesn’t have to work so hard.”
