The Returning Ex

Chapter 97

Sophia did not pretend that she did not understand Dylan’s words.

She only smiled and said, “As for Isabelle, John has already explained it clearly to me. Mrs. Constance likes Isabelle and he can’t do anything about that. However, he does not have feelings for her. If he did, he would not have ended up with me.”

Dylan was unsure of whether he could trust Sophia’s words and just nodded his head.

The door to Dylan’s office remained open. Occasionally, passers-by would be able to look into his office.

Actually, there was nothing much for Sophia and Dylan to talk about.

In fact, there was no history between them other than standing together in the bamboo forest for a while the previous day.

However, Dylan could be regarded as a person that was friendlier to her among the members of the Constance Family.

Sophia basically had little to no friends, and there were only a handful of people she could actually talk to.

Hence, Sophia regarded him as a friend for the time being.

Dylan took out a document. After reading through it for not more than a few seconds, he could not help but ask again, “About you coming home yesterday, Mrs. Constance must’ve felt… happy right?”

Sophia instantly laughed out loud. Dylan’s words were too tactful.

She knew exactly what Dylan had really wanted to ask.

Sophia sat on the sofa while swinging her legs. “She was very happy. At least that’s what I thought. She even found all sorts of opportunities to come and talk to me yesterday.”

Her words made Dylan laugh out loud.

Although he did not come into contact with Mrs. Constance often, he knew her temperament very well.

Since everyone had been living in the same residence for so many years, it was impossible for them to not know about everyone else.

However, Sophia’s way with her words felt new to him.

During the time that Sophia was married into the Constance family, she had to catch up with a lot of things.

When Old Mr. Constance passed away, the Constance Family was the most united and they would often get together.

Dylan also met Sophia quite a lot of times.

However, every time he met her, he would feel that she was a submissive person.

Mrs. Constance disliked her and would often embarrass her in front of everyone and all Sophia would do was purse her lips and remain silent.

The current Sophia seemed to be different from before.

Dylan thought for a while and noticed that he had never seen her smile before.

Meanwhile, Sophia also laughed happily. “See; you don’t even believe what I’m telling you. How else would you want me to say it?”

Dylan smirked and replied, “It’s not that I don’t believe you. I do believe you.”

As his words sounded too perfunctory, Sophia immediately snorted.

Just at this very moment, someone passed by the door, and that person looked into Dylan’s office. As a result, the person saw Sophia inside and instantly stood still.

With a slightly serious look on his face, the person strode in. “Dylan.”

Dylan froze and quickly raised his head to look at the person. “Dad.”

Master Owen then added, “I have a file here. Come over and have a look at it. The numbers on it don’t quite match.”

Dylan immediately stood up. “Alright.”

Sophia also stood up.

Since Master Owen did not speak to her, naturally, Sophia did not want to open her mouth to talk too.

As Dylan was about to go out, Sophia clearly could not stay here anymore.

Sophia exited Dylan’s office and waved at him without saying a single word.

Dylan smiled and the both of them parted ways.

Sophia took a look at the time and noticed that it was nearing John’s off-duty time, so she hurried back to John’s office.

Meanwhile, John was staring at the computer while wearing anti-radiation spectacles.

His entire person seemed to have returned to the cold person he was during their marriage.

Sophia watched from the door before entering his office. She did not speak and just sat on the sofa.

Although John did not look at Sophia, he still asked, “Where did you go to have a walk just now?”

Sophia stretched before replying, “I met Dylan and sat in his office for a while.”

John, who was typing on his keyboard, suddenly stopped.

He turned to look at Sophia. “Dylan?”

Sophia did not think much about it. “Yes. I saw him in the corridor and followed him into his office to have a chat.”

John stared at Sophia and asked again, “Are you familiar with Dylan?”

Sophia then blinked and replied, “No.”

This was the truth.

She had never spoken to Dylan in the past before.

“If you’re not familiar with him, why would you enter his office for a while?” John’s voice sounded slightly cold. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Sophia’s expression remained normal as she said, “Isn’t he your brother? He’s also part of the Constance Family, so what’s wrong with sharing a conversation with him?”
