The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 940

With a helpless expression, Isabelle stared at her grandfather’s figure until he disappeared from the stairs.

After the phone call ended, John called his subordinate to instruct him to investigate the incident at the hospital. He

also asked him what happened after the transaction.

The subordinate replied that when the transaction took place, the people working for the shadow bank were caught

red-handed. However, those people were sly as they didn’t bring the goods with them. As for how the goods would

be traded, the subordinate hadn’t found any lead yet.

John’s interest was piqued when he heard this. Now I’m curious how they’re going to make the transaction happen.

Upon hanging up the call, he drove to the warehouse, which used to be desolate in the past. Now, the place was

crammed with people. The number of people confined in this place was enough to occupy a few tables to play

poker. If Logan and Matilda found out about it, they would be elated, John thought.

When Sophia awakened from her sleep, she no longer felt fearful. Touching her shoulder, she recalled how the

woman was jabbed in the same place. How did they even come up with this kind of ruthless move? They’re really

relentless. Sitting on the bed, she waited for a bit and went downstairs.

Matilda had arrived with a basket of fruits, which were said to be beneficial for a pregnant lady, but she hadn’t had

any idea what happened to Sophia. Seeing her, she immediately went to the kitchen to wash the fruits for her.

In a dazed state, Sophia took a seat and picked up an apple, but after taking two bites, she put it back down.

Matilda hadn’t noticed Sophia’s unusual behavior and mentioned that she came across Jennifer on her way here.

Unlike her attitude in the past, Jennifer was treating Matilda in a more hospitable manner now. She even asked her

when John and Sophia would remarry

At the mention of this, Matilda guffawed and said, “I guess Jennifer is concerned about you.” Leaning against the

couch, Sophia grunted. “Sometimes I feel that Lady Jennifer is more concerned about me than she cares about her

son.” Heaving a sigh, Old Mrs. Constance said, “After John and you remarry, Jennifer will stop worrying about it.” No

matter how I try to change the topic, it will always be about John and my relationship, Sophia thought. Recalling how

swiftly John managed to protect her from the person who was trying to harm her, Sophia felt that he did provide a

sense of safety for her. If she missed John again, she didn’t think she would ever encounter a man as compatible.

After letting out a breath, she replied, “I’ll think about it.” Matilda pursed her lips and asked, “How are you even

hesitating if John is the person you’re remarrying? Don’t you know there are many women out there eager to

marry him?” Hearing this, Sophia burst out laughing and questioned, “Don’t you know there are many handsome

men out there eager to pursue me?” Unable to hold it in anymore, Old Mrs. Constance chuckled. “Despite the age

gap, the two of you are funny together. If Sophia were ten years older, she could well be your little sister.” Giggling,

Matilda said, “In the past, I really found her irritating, but now I’m very fond of her. I don’t even know what’s wrong

with me.” After the banter with Matilda, Sophia felt more energized. Then, Old Mrs. Constance told Matilda to stay

there to have dinner together and teased, “Tell William to come home tonight. I haven’t seen him for such a long

time that I don’t even remember what he looks like now.” Since William moved into Matilda’s house, he hadn’t

returned to his own home for a long time, as though he had no intention of coming back.
