The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 287

John was stuck in the traffic jam on the way to the Constance Residence, so he had just missed dinner by the time he reached.

Although Mrs. Constance was surprised to see John, she was definitely delighted.

She immediately greeted, “Why did you come over at this time?”

The corner of John’s lifted. “I just came to visit as I’m passing by.”

Mrs. Constance was taken aback at that as she went on with a worried tone, “You’re just like your father. The two of you won’t bother about anything else when it comes to work. Are you just done with your company work? I bet you haven’t eaten your dinner. Let me go get you something.”

John followed Mrs. Constance and stood by the kitchen entrance while she went inside.

Mrs. Constance washed her hands before initiating a conversation, “About Infinity Group, I’ve already taken a look and there isn’t any news on the Internet anymore.”

John knew what she meant as he stared at her. Mumbling an answer, he added again, “I’ll find the right opportunity.”

Mrs. Constance smiled. “Yeah, you need a right chance, or else you won’t be able to explain yourself if Sophia turns on you.”

John frowned at that. “Sophia isn’t that kind of person.”

Mrs. Constance knew that she shouldn’t bad-mouth Sophia in front of John, but she couldn’t help herself. “Let’s not talk about her anymore. It’ll just ruin the mood.”

John crossed his arms. “Mom, you can go on a vacation if you don’t have anything to do. You can also join some workshops.”

Mrs. Constance turned around. “What? Are you implying that I have been prying too much?”

“That’s not what I meant,” John explained. “I just felt like you might be bored staying here, so going out to do something will make you feel better.”

Mrs. Constance lowered her voice and replied when she heard him, “I’m not really interested in anything. Moreover, I’m already old, so I don’t want to make myself suffer. Also, it is hard for me to learn new things now. I’d go meet up with my friends and gamble for a bit when I’m free, but your grandma doesn’t like me doing that.”

John’s gaze darkened slightly as he thought about Logan.

Although his friendship with Logan was quite close, they weren’t as tight as Ian and him.
