The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 290

She thought that the man would only return after fooling around again.

Stretching her limbs, Sophia walked out from the study room.

However, instead of returning to her room, she went downstairs to grab a bottle of water from the

fridge.

Young Master Owen’s birthday was coming soon and the tea set was still placed in the living room.

It would be a hassle to move all of them to the Constance Residence later on.

Sophia loitered downstairs for a moment before heading upstairs again.

While she was walking in the corridor, she stared at John’s room. However, the door was shut and she

couldn’t see anything.

Sophia harrumphed before turning around and entered her room.

For some reason beyond Sophia’s understanding, the two of them had somewhat started a cold war.

To be honest, John didn’t really understand it as well.

However, he just didn’t feel good. He felt something was amiss no matter what he did.

Young Master Owen’s birthday fell on a weekend. John got up early on the day as he wanted to get

back to the Constance Residence earlier.

It was a surprise for him to see Sophia cooking when he came downstairs.

Staring from the staircase, he started frowning.

The irritation within him suddenly flared up without any forewarning.

The thought of him having to act as a loving couple with Sophia in front of everyone today made his

head ache.

John went down and sat next to the couch. “Let’s go back to the Constance Residence earlier and eat

there.”

Turning around to give John a look, Sophia said, “You should head there first. I’ll only go during the

afternoon.”

Since the people there didn’t really welcome her, it would be boring if she had gone earlier to spend the

rest of her day there.

John stared at Sophia for a few seconds before he answered monotonously, “Whatever.”

Then, he turned around and left.

Without being bothered by John’s attitude, Sophia continued preparing her breakfast. After that, she

hummed as she took her meal to the dining room and started eating.

Sophia placed her phone on the table while she scrolled through the tabloid. There wasn’t anything

interesting. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Then, she went to look at the finance segment. Yep. It was definitely more interesting here.

The latest news reported that after the collaboration between the Bailey Family and the Constance

Family, they tried to get into touch with the Third Young Lady Jefferson. It seemed that they wanted to

work together with the Jefferson Family as well.

How interesting. Sophia had previously mentioned that the Bailey Family wouldn’t get into contact with

the Jefferson Family for no reason.

There must be a purpose behind their action.

The Bailey Family was trying to set up an image for Isabelle.

After Isabelle got into the company, the Bailey Family had been doing their best to remove any

obstacles on her way to success.

Old Mr. Bailey must have wanted to pave the way for Isabelle.

It must have been nice to have a nice father.

Sophia pouted. While others had nice fathers, her father could hardly give her any help she needed.

Reading through the article again, Sophia noticed that the article only stated the Bailey Family’s

interest to collaborate without mentioning the Jefferson Family’s reaction.

To be honest, Sophia was just an onlooker in the collaboration between the Bailey Family and the

Jefferson Family.

Since the two families were powerful, there was nothing that she could really do even if she wasn’t

happy with it.

As she finished reading the article, she finished up her meal as well.

She then cleaned up her plates and cutleries before heading upstairs to change and do her makeup.

Since Aiden was on leave today, Sophia wanted to go to the shop at noon to look around and would

probably overlook the shop’s renovation.

Although she trusted Aiden’s ability, she still felt bad if she didn’t show up.

Right when Sophia settled everything and went downstairs, two people came over and knocked on the

front door.

Both of them mentioned that John had instructed them to come over to send Young Master Owen’s gift

over.

Well, Sophia obviously couldn’t move something so huge on her own anyway.

Since this was a tea set, she instructed those two to be careful and try to avoid clashing into anything.

The moment they saw its packaging, they knew that this gift was expensive and delicate, so they were

particularly careful when handling it.

After Sophia waited for them to leave with the gift, she took a cab to the shop.
