The Returning Ex

The Returning Ex Chapter 55

When evening rolled around, Zack helped them order dinner, and the room service staff delivered it to the room. He had ordered a lot of food and included his portion in the order too.

Sophia was leaning against the bed, playing a game. Despite hearing the commotion outside, she didn’t move, pretending to be unaware.

After a while, John pushed open the door and came inside. Standing at the door, he said, “It’s dinnertime.”

Thus, she shifted her gaze from her phone to him.

How do I explain this feeling? It’s like I’m in a different time and place and the roles have been reversed. In the past, John always used to shut himself in his study after returning home.

Most of the time, I was the one that invited him to dinner. However, I didn’t dare to enter his study. I could only knock on the door and stand by the door to tell him that it’s dinnertime.

Withdrawing her gaze, she replied, “Okay. I’ll go over once I finish this game.”

John said nothing, turning around to leave instead.

In the past, he used to reply in just the same way: ‘Okay, I’ll go over once I finish looking through this document.’ However, most of the time, he only came down after I finished eating.

At the time, I had very low-esteem. Thus, I couldn’t help wondering whether this man was deliberately trying to avoid me—so much so that he even had to stagger his mealtimes.
