The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 332

John said he hadn’t had his breakfast yet. Letting out a sigh, Sophia suggested, “Why don’t grab a bite

before you go? Food is almost ready anyway.”

John put down the suitcase by the door and answered without hesitation, “Okay.”

While Sophia returned to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, he waited at the dining hall. Sophia was

wondering why he was so wishy-washy when it came to moving out of the place but so decisive when

he decided to divorce her.

When the food was ready, she brought it to the dining hall. Seeing that John was not in a great mood,

she decided to stay quiet. She had prepared a simple breakfast consisting of sausages, eggs and two

sides.

When she was in the kitchen just now, she thought about how he only had bread and milk for breakfast,

but she decided to prepare the simple spread anyway since there wasn’t much work to it and, at the

same time, she didn’t want to pamper him. Which was why there was no bread and milk. If he didn’t

like it, he could leave it. To her surprise, he actually ate quite a lot from the food she prepared this time.

She was unsure whether it was because he was just famished because he had skipped dinner last

night, or it was because she had become a better cook.

After finishing the meal in silence, John went to the kitchen to do the dishes but was stopped by Sophia

immediately. “You don’t have to do that because I can handle it later. I shouldn’t trouble you to do that

for me.” That sentence immediately placed an enormous barrier between them.

It was only after a lengthy silence did John voice his agreement. “I should get going then,” he said after

a while.

Sophia smiled at him and said, “Please be careful on the road.”

He picked up the suitcase he left by the door and walked out of the house. Then, he got into his car,

started the engine and left.

Standing at the kitchen entrance, Sophia watched him leave and heaved out a sigh of relief when he

was finally gone. She first went to do the dishes before making a dash upstairs to check out his room.

Indeed, he had sorted out his room properly and brought away all his belongings.

Satisfied with the condition of the room, she left after closing the door and then walked back to her

room to examine the news articles on the internet. Those articles itself were fine but not so for the

comments. Even though the news about their divorce had become widespread, Isabelle was still the

target of public censure.

Many of them saw Isabelle as the woman who came between John and her. Staring at the degrading

comments about Isabelle, she started to wonder who was the actual third party when it came to their

relationships with John. She didn’t think Isabelle was the third party to their relationship because it was

her who had snatched John away from Isabelle back then.

But at the same time, Sophia didn’t see herself as the third party to Isabelle’s relationship with John

either because she only married him as arranged by her parents. On top of that, what Isabelle had with

John at that time was only an engagement of convenience. It was not like they were a couple who had

dated each other for years.

Sophia scratched her head in frustration because she was so confused by their relationship which was Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

a total mess. Fortunately, she was freed from all of this now. She got back to reading the articles and

focused more attention on the comments about her. As expected, basically everyone sympathized with

her. After all, she seemed to be the victim jointly bullied by John and Isabella at the moment.

After having her worry assuaged by the comments, she gave Logan a call. She supposed he had

probably been waiting for her call all these while because he picked up right away. There was a note of

concern in his voice when he said, “Sophia, are you feeling awful right now? Just let it all out if you are.

I’m here for you.”

Sophia couldn’t see the reason why Logan was acting all melodramatic. Since he already knew about

the fact that she had divorced John way earlier than this, why did he think she would feel awful? Thus,

she asked him directly, “Did you give those media companies instructions on how they should publish

their articles?”

Those articles were written in a neutral tone with a barely noticeable attempt to put in good words for

John. Usually, when those media companies received news as juicy as this, they would exaggerate to

instigate public anger. However, those articles circulating now weren’t written with that agenda.

Logan snorted, “In fact, it was my sister’s idea. She was of the opinion that if the media companies

were allowed to write freely about the matter, they would surely make it as dramatic as they could, and

what they published would deviate substantially from the truth. Since she’s quite influential in the media

industry, she issued them a warning to make sure their articles stuck to the truth.”
