The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 739

Even though he couldn’t see her, John could sense that the girl wasn’t too happy doing this, for her singing left a lot

to be desired. Fortunately, she stopped after a short while. “Are you listening, Sophia?” Of course, she got no reply,

then the girl told the woman, “Nobody’s saying anything. I bet they aren’t listening. I’m not doing this anymore!”

John could hear the dissatisfaction in her voice, then he heard the caller hissing, “That’s your sister! I know she’s

listening! She’ll talk once you’re done singing!”

Obviously, the girl wouldn’t comply, so she refused to sing. John could hear the sounds of argument, then he hung

up and went to hug Sophia.

This call reminded him of Walter. He knew Walter must have talked it through with his ex. Once he failed to get

Sophia back on his side, his ex-wife would try the emotional appeal. John sighed, and he recalled the state of

Sophia’s hometown. He couldn’t fathom why Walter and his ex-wife would abandon a young Sophia and her

grandfather in the slums.

“The chief called me yesterday. He said the road’s starting to get paved.” John smiled. “Since they want to cut

costs, all the villagers would pitch in once they have time, including the children and the elderly. Some worked on

the installation, and some sent food to them to save time. Your neighbors are all good people, Sophia.”

After a while, Sophia pulled the blanket away and took a deep breath. “Yeah, and my grandfather’s really kind. I

don’t understand why his son and daughter-in-law turned out to be evil. It’s not fair.”

John patted her head. “Let’s not think about that. Fortunately, the evil couple has nothing to do with us now, so we

just need to take care of ourselves.”

This time, Sophia said nothing, merely pursing her lips. Since he had to go to work, John got up a short while later.

Then, he patted Sophia’s head. “You go back to sleep, Sophia. Remember to take your breakfast when you wake

up.”

Sophia didn’t want to move, so she turned around and closed her eyes. When John was done bathing, he came to

kiss her forehead before leaving. Breakfast was already prepared when he came to the dining room. Spearing a

piece of pancake, John thought of something before he fished for his phone and called his subordinate. “Here’s a

phone number. I want you to find out where the caller is, and I want their every detail.” Then, he sent a number to

his subordinate before finishing his breakfast.

After some time, Sophia heard John’s car revving up, then he left. She sighed, feeling frustrated. Her phone beeped

after a while, and she read through the message, though she deleted it shortly after.

Once Walter stopped appearing, his ex-wife came to harass Sophia. They shouldn’t have gotten the divorce. If

there’s an Olympic event for tag-team shamelessness, they’d go beyond gold.

Sophia turned her phone off and lay on the bed, but she couldn’t sleep after the call. Thus, she went downstairs

after straightening herself out a little. Matilda was having breakfast when she came down, so she invited Sophia to

the table. “Come here. I was going to take it upstairs, but now that you’re here, have it while it’s still hot.”

Pacing over, Sophia looked at the food. “I want to go to the shop later. Wanna come with me?” It had been a while

since she went to the shop, and she was feeling guilty about Robin handling everything.
