The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 98

Can I believe her? John looked at Sophia with a troubled gaze while she remained unwavering and

continued to stare straight at him.

A moment later, he looked away and said, “I hope you won’t go to the Second Constance Family so

often. Our family dynamic is a little bit complicated.

Complicated or not, she did not care.

She was not from the Constance family; what did their family affairs have to do with her?

Thus, she remained quiet and waited until he got off work.

When Zack did not come over, John promptly left with Sophia.

However, they ended up running into Dylan again as they were walking toward the elevator.

Since it was break time, it was only normal for people to gather at the elevator.

Dylan was alone. When Sophia saw him, she smiled and waved at him.

He glanced at John briefly before smiling back at her.

The exclusive elevator was upstairs so the three of them went in together.

John and Sophia stood inside while Dylan stood near the doors.

Remembering what John told her before, Sophia did not initiate a conversation with Dylan.

But Dylan turned back to look at her. “Where are you guys going for lunch?”

She blinked. “I’m not sure.” Looking up at John, she asked, “Where are we going to eat?”

John shot her a look but did not utter a single word.

She did not know what that look meant. Why does it seem like he’s not too happy? She pursed her lips

and kept her eyes trained on him.

When he kept ignoring her, she hooked her arm in his and started to whine, “Why the long face? I’m

asking you a question. Where are we going to eat?”

Her own petulant voice also sounded forced to her.

John raised his hand to pinch her face gently. “You’ll know when we get there.”

His words clearly did not match the expression on his face.

Even though his voice sounded warm, he still looked indifferent.

Upon seeing that, she pulled her lips back and went to hug his waist instead, giggling as she leaned all

her weight on him. She wanted to repulse him while there was someone else around.

Dylan was standing sideways. His line of vision fell directly on the elevator screen, but he was probably

able to see them from the corner of his eye.

John did not push her away but just looked down at her.

She blinked back at him with a smug look on her face.

After thinking for a moment, he put his arms around her and quickly bent down to place a kiss at the

corner of her lips.

The mischievous look on her face froze in an instant then she slowly started to lose her composure.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but the elevator doors happened to open at

the same time.

Dylan turned out and left immediately. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

John was still hugging her. “Let’s go eat.”

He walked out of the elevator with his arm still around her, seemingly unbothered by the crowd that was

usually present in the lobby of the first floor. Lowering his voice so that it was only audible to the both of

them, he said, “Stay away from Dylan from now on.”

“Huh? Why?”

“No reason,” he replied.

The employees who noticed them looked rather astonished.

John was usually someone with a cold personality, but there was a smile on his face as he talked to

her.

That was true love.

Their grand wedding was not all just for show after all.

There was some sincerity to it.

Nonetheless, Sophia knew that he was putting up an act so the smile on his face looked ingenuine to

her.

Snuggling up to him, she asked, “Are you scared that I’ll cheat on you?” She laughed, then went on,

“Don’t worry. Unless he has a higher status than you, I will never like him.”

With pursed lips, John brought her out to the car.

The moment they were inside, he proceeded to straighten out his clothes in a sulky manner.

She was also fixing her hair. “Don’t say a word. I noticed something recently. You have quite a gift for

acting.”

Then, she broke into a fit of laughter.
