The Returning EX (Sophia and John) novel Chapter 280

 

 

 

Upon pondering for a while, Sophia replied, “Yes, I’m going to the shop tomorrow. I’ll call Robin and tell her to come with me to see how the shop can be improved further since she has prior experience in doing this.”

 

As Zack agreed, they ended the conversation.

After washing up, Sophia lay down on the bed.

Having walked around for the entire day, she was so tired that her body couldn’t take it anymore.

It required energy to go shopping.

Not long after she got into the bed, she slumbered off to the slumberland.

However, she awakened in the middle of the night as she was thirsty. Perhaps the meal she had had earlier was too salty.

After touching the bedside table for a while, she recalled that there was no water on it.

 

It was a torment to get out of bed and go downstairs in the middle of the night.

Squinting her eyes, she walked out of the room and saw that there was some light at the staircase.

The lights in the living room had been turned on.

 

She remembered that the lights downstairs were turned off when she went up the stairs.

Unafraid, she walked over and leaned on the railing to take a look.

John was seated on the couch.

There were a bottle of wine and an empty glass on the table in front of the couch.

 

 

Frankly speaking, Sophia didn’t want to meet him face-to-face at that moment because she was still angry with what he had said to her that evening.

Nevertheless, she was unbearably thirsty.

Her rational mind told her that she would need to go downstairs.

John noticed her right as she stepped on the stairs.

Upon taking a look at her, he immediately retracted his gaze.

 

 

Without looking at him, Sophia directly went to the kitchen and took a battle of mineral water before going upstairs again.

Upon entering her room, she closed the door and leaned on it.

 

At that moment, she was no longer sleepy. John is acting weirdly today. What is he trying to do by staying downstairs quietly?

After drinking the water, she took a seat on the bed. Then, she picked up her phone and realized that it was already the latter half of the night.

Did John wake up from a sleep? There’s no holiday tomorrow. Why is he not asleep at midnight? Is he not going to work tomorrow?

There was no way she could figure out the reason.

Walking over, she opened a small gap at the door and peeked out. John hadn’t come upstairs yet.

It took twenty minutes for her to hear some noise from downstairs. To be precise, the noise came from the garden, so she quickly walked up to the windows and gazed out at the garden.

John had started the engine. Why is he going out at midnight?
