The Returning Ex

The Returning Ex Chapter 79

By the time Sophia woke up, the airplane was already descending and about to land.

She had almost slept through the flight, and it was not as bad as she thought.

When the flight attendant reminded everyone to sit tight and buckle their seatbelts, Sophia stretched. “I had such a good sleep.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

John then put the book in his hands away without saying a word nor looking at her.

Sitting next to them across the aisle, Zack was somewhat annoyed. He stretched his neck and looked at Sophia. “Sophia, are you coming back to the Constance Residence with us later?”

Sophia peered at him through the corner of her eyes. “You have to ask your boss. I don’t know where I should go.”

With the question being thrown at him, John grunted, and Zack took that as an answer.

After the airplane had landed completely, Zack walked in front of them as they walked out of the aircraft.

When Zack went to wait for their suitcases, Sophia and John proceeded to walk out of the airport.

She had a speculation. Alas, she smiled when she saw the person running toward John and waving at him.

She was right.

It was Mrs. Constance at the entrance together with another woman, who looked somewhat different from the pictures in the magazine.

Right now, she looked less stereotypical than in the magazines.

Perhaps it was all the image editing and the make-up that made her look like that.

As she stood next to Mrs. Constance, she looked rather average, which was nicer than in the magazines.

Sophia then laughed silently.

Fortunately, before she left the hotel this morning, she did put on some nice make-up. She reckoned she did not look too bad compared to that woman.

John looked rather surprised as she walked up to Mrs. Constance. “Didn’t I tell you that you didn’t have to come get me?”

He then turned to Isabelle as he finished the sentence.

That look made Isabelle rather embarrassed. “W-We happened to—”

“I wanted to come here, and I asked Isabelle to come with me,” Mrs. Constance quickly added while grabbing Isabelle’s hand.

They looked like a mother and daughter pair.

Meanwhile, Zack secretly rolled his eyes at them while John looked expressionless; he did not say anything too.

Even though Mrs. Constance saw that Sophia was around, she had been ignoring her existence, and she was happy that Sophia did not choose to converse with her.

Following that, John turned around and looked at Zack then at Sophia. “Let’s go.”

Sophia gently lifted her head, looking proud as she ignored Mrs. Constance and walked out with the others.

Mrs. Constance came here with a private sedan. Apart from the driver, they could only fit at most four people in the car.

But the back part of the car was not too spacious, so it was rather tight when there were three people in the back seat.

Mrs. Constance opened the door of the passenger seat and asked John to get in the car.

After that, she gave Isabelle a look for her to quickly get into the back seat.

Sophia was not interested in competing with them for a seat in the car, so she turned around and looked at Zack. “You contacted the company to have them send their car over, didn’t you?”

Zack’s volume went up slightly. “I did. They’ve actually just messaged me to say that they are already here. Let me find them.”

Meanwhile, John stood there and also looked around.

Mrs. Constance became rather nervous. “John, come over and get in the car. Zack can get in the company car and go back to the office first. The meal’s ready at home. We’re just waiting for you.”

Isabelle went up and opened the door to the back seat but did not get in; instead, she kept staring at John.

When Zack found the car sent by the company, he quickly waved at them. “Over here!”

The car then slowly pulled up, and it was an SUV, which looked more spacious.

Sophia went up and Zack opened the back seat door for her.

At the same time, John decided to walk toward the car sent by the company and directed his words at Mrs. Constance. “I’ll take this car. It’s more spacious.”

Sophia couldn’t be bothered and just got in the car. She stretched her arms and legs, realizing that this car was indeed spacious and comfortable.

Then, John came in and sat down next to her.

She gave him a quick glance. “You can actually take the other car. I’ll just have Zack send me back to my place.”

John leaned on the seat. One could tell that he was somewhat tired from the plane ride.

Hearing what Sophia said, he responded with a whisper, “Stop fooling around.”

John sounded rather helpless and his voice also carried a tinge of coyness.
