The Returning EX (Sophia and John) novel Chapter 549

 

 

 

John wrinkled his brows as he watched the man walk to Sophia and said something to her. When she heard his words, Sophia looked obviously startled. The man even ruffled his own hair and was looking a little bit embarrassed.

 

Alarm bells suddenly rang in John’s head. He stood up and said to Matilda, “Wait here for me.”

With that, he left the shop and headed toward Sophia, who didn’t even notice him as her attention was on the man in front of her. In fact, it wasn’t accurate to describe the guy as a ‘man’. He was more like a ‘boy’.

According to what she knew, this boy had just graduated from university. Since she was already married before, such a fresh graduate was really just a boy to her. He couldn’t be considered a man.

When John came up, Zack was talking to the boy. “You two have such a big age gap. I don’t think she is suitable for you, so there’s no point in asking for her number.”

The boy’s face flushed red as he said, “I’m just asking. I-I have no other intentions.”

Sophia pursed her mouth. Seeing how nervous the boy looked, he must have mustered up all his courage before coming over. Therefore, she hesitated for a moment, while Zack went on to ask, “So why are you asking for her number?”

His tone was teasing as he smiled, making the boy’s face turning even redder.

 

John went over and said, “I’ll give you the number. Note it down.”

Dazed, the boy stared at John and then hurriedly fished out his own phone. John then rattled off a string of numbers. Both Zack and Sophia were taken aback by what he had done.

Sophia sighed silently in her heart. This jerk gave his own number! How cruel is he?

 

The boy didn’t know that, so he quickly noted down the phone number and even repeated it once. “Is that correct?”

John replied, “Yes.”

Excited, the boy thanked John and Sophia profusely, and then turned to go back into his shop.

Sophia turned her head to look at John. “What a dishonorable guy you are.”

 

 

John stuffed his hands into his pockets as he stood by the road. “So, what do you think I should do then? Should I really give him your number?”

Sophia scoffed, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore. “Have you finished talking with your mother?” But Matilda is still inside the shop.

John sighed a little. “No. Actually, we have nothing to talk about.”

Sophia thought about it and said, “If you have anything to say, then tell her everything clearly in one go. Otherwise, I think she will come here to look for you next time. I don’t care about what’s going on between you two, but her coming here will really affect me.”

John didn’t speak but returned to the shop after a while.

 

 

Then, Sophia watched him sit down and say a few words to Matilda, who nodded. Matilda treats John really well. No, wait, I can’t say that. Matilda has a good attitude toward everyone, except me. How sad it sounds when I put it this way.

After standing outside for a while, Sophia saw that they weren’t finished yet, so she said to Zack and Robin, “Come, let’s go back. They’re so slow. How much do they have to say to each other? It’s been so long, yet they haven’t wrapped things up.”
