The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 221

Mrs. Constance paused. With a suspicious voice, she asked, “Sophia got to know him herself? With the

identity she has?”

John didn’t really want to talk about this. He was feeling a bit irritable today, ever since this morning.

When he talked with Isabelle about work in the afternoon, he had felt a little bit better. But when he met

Sophia at night, this feeling came back again. It continued up until now.

Mrs. Constance was a bit worried. “John, your relationship with Logan is decent at best. He changes

with the flip of a coin. He is someone who would point and yell at his own father. There is nothing he

can’t do. I’m worried that when he gets bewitched by Sophia, he would break off all ties with you, This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

then…”

John laughed. “Mom, you’re overthinking things. Sophia isn’t that sort of person. Even if she is, how will

she bewitch him?”

Mrs. Constance didn’t want to admit this, but she still admitted grudgingly, “She is beautiful.”

Then, she continued, “If it weren’t for the fact that her looks were passable, I never would have agreed

with the two of you getting married in the first place, no matter what.”

John sighed. “There’s no need to speak of this matter again. It’s useless to talk about all this now.”

Mrs. Constance also knew that. She smacked her lips helplessly. “It is useless. John, we’ve ruined

you.”

That was going a bit far.

John actually didn’t blame anyone, for he had also agreed to the wedding back then.

If he hadn’t agreed, his family would’ve tied him up and brought him over to the Civil Affairs Bureau to

sign and collect the marriage certificate.

So everything that happened till now had all gone as he had expected.

He couldn’t blame anyone.

He disagreed with his mother, then continued, “Sophia and I are different from what you all think.”

Talking about this, John felt exasperated. “Also, Mom, you shouldn’t have insisted on an occasion like

today.”

He was talking about how his mother had insisted for Sophia to bring her friend over.

Today, Mrs. Constance had wanted to embarrass Sophia, which was clear as day to John.

If he didn’t know the friend Sophia had was Logan, he would have stepped up and put a stop to it.

The reason he didn’t stop everything from happening was because he wanted Logan to come over and

show Sophia support.

During the meal today, his mother was so happy that words slipped from her mouth. She said a few

things, comparing Isabelle and Sophia with one another. Although she wasn’t obvious, she still let out

snippets that proved she didn’t think much of Sophia. John was a bit uncomfortable with that. It was

one thing to say all this when it was just the two of them, but John felt it was unfair to Sophia for his

mother to say such things in front of so many people. It was for the best that Logan had come over. At

least the Baileys would know that Sophia wasn’t someone that anyone could look down on.

When Mrs. Constance heard John say this, she was put on the spot. She wanted to embarrass Sophia

today, but she was the one who was embarrassed in the end.

On the way home, William had already told her about how she couldn’t look at the situation and didn’t

put matters according to importance. William’s tone was neither angry nor serious. He just pointed out

facts and reasoned with her on the matter.

But Mrs. Constance knew that her husband was unhappy, as he had never done this before.

She sighed. “I was indeed reckless about this matter today. Your father has already told me that putting

Sophia on the spot out in public was not giving you face.”

“Yes. No matter what we think ourselves, in the eyes of the public, Sophia is my wife. She represents

me.”

After a few seconds, Mrs. Constance said timidly, “John, you seem to be more protective of Sophia

recently.”
