The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 279

With too much money to spend, Logan would be upset if Sophia didn’t let him buy those things for her.

Never had she met such a person before.

Ian heaved a sigh of relief as he and the chauffeur placed the tea set at one corner of the living room.

Sophia forgot that she was wearing a hair band with rabbit ears on it.

Logan had insisted on buying the hair band which looked good in his eyes.

Walking over, Ian fiddled with the rabbit ears and said with a smile, “I’ll go home now, Miss Rabbit.”

It was at that moment that Sophia suddenly remembered that she was wearing a hair band and burst into laughter. “Alright, please be careful on the road.”

After watching Ian get into the car and leave the place, she turned around and walked into the house.

However, she was stunned upon turning around as John was standing on the stairs without making any sound. When did he come downstairs? The lights on the second floor are off. Does it mean he came downstairs in the dark? What a crazy guy.

Sophia thus asked with a frown, “Why did you walk so quietly?”

With a cold expression, John gazed at the tea set in the living room and questioned, “What is that?”

Sophia answered, “Ah, this is the birthday present for your uncle. It’s a tea set.”

Before she could tell him that Logan bought it for her, John continued, “Did you buy it with Ian?”

Hearing that, Sophia frowned as John snorted, “Well, you’re always not alone, aren’t you?”

Instantly, Sophia’s expression turned dark once he said those demeaning words.

Staring at John, she questioned, “What’s wrong with you? Do you want a quarrel?”

John sneered and went upstairs. “Tell me how much it is. I will also transfer the delivery fee to you on top of the price.”

Sophia pressed her lips together and glowered at his figure.

However, John just directly went upstairs and returned to his room without even bothering to turn on the light.

He also insisted on keeping his bedroom dark.

As the curtains were not closed, he had seen everything when Sophia and Ian were walking into the house.

Closing the door, he directly slumped into his bed.

In fact, he was suffering from insomnia before Sophia’s return, and he still couldn’t sleep now.

After cleaning up the first floor, Sophia went upstairs and returned to her own room.

While getting changed, she made a call to Zack.

He had helped her supervise the renovation at the shop for the entire day, but she had not asked him for the updates.

Still awake, Zack quickly picked up the call.

Sophia briefly asked about the renovation.

“Well, we have removed some of the things in the shop and got the materials ready. The renovation will officially commence by tomorrow or two days later,” Zack replied.

Not worried about it at all, Sophia said, “Thanks for helping me today.”

Zack then replied with a smile, “Please don’t be so polite to me. I will be frightened. Are you alright? I can feel that you’re troubled.”

As Sophia put on the pajamas, she said, “No, I’m feeling great. I have just come home and feel exhausted.”

Zack didn’t ask what she did that day. Upon giving it a thought, he questioned, “How are you getting along with your former husband?”

Well, we’re not getting along well.

Pausing for a while, she answered, “Well, there’s no progress between us.”

After a sigh, Zack explained, “You’ll be alright. We don’t have any meetings with the Baileys lately. Since the contracts are signed, we just have to supply the materials to them. All of these don’t require the attention of your former husband, therefore he won’t have the chance to meet Isabelle.”

Sophia didn’t want to worry about it for now.

Upon entering the bathroom, she replied, “Alright, I’ll hang up the call now. I’m very exhausted and will sleep after washing up.”

Zack mumbled and asked whether she was going to the shop the next afternoon.
