The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 88

Sophia had changed.

The servant had actually heard Mrs. Constance say this in the afternoon.

Now that she observed more carefully, Sophia really did change.

Sophia’s personality had become more independent, yet cold and distant.

Previously, she was a warm person who would smile at anyone she met. Her attitude was also good

toward the servants.

However, when Sophia thanked her just now, her voice was neither soft nor heavy; it was emotionless.

She was not the same as before.

The servant exited the bedroom and closed the door before slowly descending the stairs.

Naturally, Mrs. Constance who was downstairs was complaining about Sophia.

She complained about how Sophia had retaliated at her words and how she was challenging her.

Mrs. Constance even complained about how Sophia had almost hit her.

At the beginning of her complaints, John did not give any reaction until he heard about the last part of

her complaint. Upon hearing this, John frowned. “Did she hit you?”

Mrs. Constance looked slightly uncomfortable. “No. She didn’t hit me. No matter what, she wouldn’t

have the guts to hit me. She just threw the bottle of perfume I bought in front of me.”

Upon saying this, Mrs. Constance was raging with anger.

The bottle of perfume had flown past her face.

Had it gone a little to the side, the bottle would have hit her face.

John nodded his head. “So, she just broke a bottle of perfume. If you liked that perfume, I can buy you

another bottle.”

Mrs. Constance snorted and was unhappy about it. “What do you mean it’s just a bottle of perfume? Do

you understand what I’m trying to convey here? You didn’t even see her attitude at that time. John, why

would you bring this kind of woman back? Since both of you were married in the past, I wouldn’t say

much about this, but now that you’re divorced, why would our family need her now?”

John thought about it for a while before replying, “This matter is a little complicated. Dad will come

home in a while, then I’ll explain it to both of you. However, Sophia needs to stay here, for now, so

please don’t bully her.”

John looked at Mrs. Constance and said in a very serious tone. “I’m aware of all the things you’ve done

in the past. It’s just that I did not wish to worry too much about it. I know that you’ve treated her badly

all along.”

Mrs. Constance pursed her lips and felt ashamed. Then, she spoke hesitantly, “Since when did I treat

her badly?”

She pulled a long face. “I think I already treated her well enough to let her get married into our family

from a family like hers. If it was another family, she might even be treated as a servant.”

John did not like to reason with Mrs. Constance because most of the time, she would not understand

his reasoning.

John could only say, “After she got married to me, we became one entity. What you think of her is

actually a reflection of how you look at me.”

“How could you be the same as her?” Mrs. Constance’s eyes were wide open. “You’re the heir to our

Constance Family. In the future, the entire Constance Family belongs to you.”

In reality, John disliked hearing these words the most.

He just stood up. “I’ll go up and change first. Once Dad returns home and everyone is here, I’ll tell all of

you the situation between Sophia and me.”

Mrs. Constance knew that John disliked hearing about these household affairs, but she could not help

it as she was annoyed by it for the entire afternoon.

If she did not say it out, she was afraid she would be suffocated to death.

Meanwhile, John immediately went upstairs.

When he arrived at his bedroom door, he paused for a moment and listened carefully.

However, he could not hear any movements in Sophia’s room, so John entered his bedroom and

changed into a casual outfit.

When he exited his bedroom, John could not help but knock on Sophia’s bedroom door.

Next, he could hear the sound of footsteps walking over before the door was opened.

All of a sudden, a strong jasmine scent burst out from her room.

Sophia’s face was emotionless as she asked, “Has your mom finished her complaints?”

This made John feel like laughing. “How did you get into a fight with my mom in the afternoon?”

Sophia snorted. “She came here to find fault with me, so naturally, I couldn’t bear with her actions

anymore.”

This time, John really laughed out. “Didn’t you say you were good at tolerating others?”

Upon saying this, Sophia became slightly angry.

She looked at John with a long face. “If it wasn’t to save you from all the troubles of being the middle

person between your mom and me, did you think I could’ve endured for that long? Indeed, your family

is wealthy, but do you think you can humiliate someone just because you’re loaded? This is such a

joke.”

John raised his hand subconsciously. It seemed that he wanted to put his hand on top of Sophia’s

head.

However, he paused mid-air.

It seemed that he was shocked by his own actions. He froze slightly and immediately put his hand

down.

John then sighed. “My mom can be a little bad-tempered at times, but I can’t do anything about it since

my dad has been tolerating her all this while. Please don’t be so calculative with her next time, and try

to avoid her as much as possible.”

Sophia rolled her eyes upon hearing his words. “I’m not going to do that. Why do I need to hide from

her? I was once grandpa’s favorite too. If he was here, he would make sure that I was afraid of no one.

All of you only dare to bully me because you saw that I lost my refuge.”

Although Sophia said it calmly, John was unexpectedly shocked by her words and he stared seriously Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
