The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 738

John hugged her from behind. “I’ve been holding it in, Sophia.” Confused, Sophia kept quiet, then he said rather

depressingly, “All I can do is hug you. Any man would find it hard to hold it in.”

Sophia finally knew what he was talking about. She muttered clearly, “Well, you can sleep outside, then.”

John quickly went into silent mode, and he lay down on the bed quietly, but Sophia couldn’t sleep. She kept thinking

of how he had taken care of her and how he didn’t go out there to flirt. He must be holding it in hard.

Then she remembered the news about John leaving the bar with a woman, and she let out a sigh. It still didn’t sit

well with her. Sophia didn’t think much of it when the news first came out, but now it rubbed her the wrong way, so

she pried his hand that was on her waist away. “Don’t touch me.”

John, still ignorant about this, was surprised. “What’s wrong?”

Sophia put some distance between them. “Don’t touch me. Leave me alone.”

John misunderstood her. He thought she was doing this so he could hold his urge in better, so he smiled and lay on

his back. “I can hold it just fine. It’s been a long time now, so what’s a month or two?”

They were woken up the next morning by Sophia’s phone. When she grabbed it and checked who the caller was,

she almost smashed her phone. Why are they calling at this ungodly hour? She hung up and put her phone under

the pillow, but the caller, refusing to give up, called again.

John looked at her. “Who is it?”

“Nobody.” John could hear the anger in her voice.

Then he pulled her phone out of the pillow and saw that it was an unidentified caller. Seeing this, Sophia frowned,

but she didn’t stop him. A short moment later, John took the call.

Before he could say anything, the caller said, “Sophia, your sister has been dying to talk to you, and I couldn’t stop

her. I know it’s rude to call this early, but your sister kept saying she wants to call you. I hope you’re awake.”

Without needing to ask, John knew who it was now. He switched hands and kept listening.

Even though nobody replied, the caller didn’t give up. “Your sister wants to sing a song. She said she’d sing you a

song when she sees you.” Then the woman told another girl, “Come on, Sophia’s right here. Sing her a song.” Then

everything went silent. It was obvious the girl was reluctant.

Then the woman mumbled something to the girl, but it was vague. And a girl called out to Sophia. Sophia heard it

all, actually, but she kept her back facing John, and she covered herself in the blanket. John looked at her and
