The Returning Ex

Sophia racked her brains, but she still could not understand what happened last night, so she ended her call with the clueless Logan. Then, she had a simple breakfast and went out to water her flowers, which was when she instantly noticed the shattered phone in her garden.

She went over and picked it up, only to recognize that it was Ian’s phone; even the SIM card was still in there. It was no wonder he was unreachable.

Things started piecing together in her mind. She clutched the shattered phone and thought about it for some time before making a call to John at last. Unexpectedly, her first call was not picked up. Huh, he’s really something.

Feeling persistent, she made another call to him, which was finally picked up. John intentionally lowered his volume as he said, “I’m busy right now. Talk to you later.”

She followed suit and lowered her volume as well. “Did you send me home last night?”

John went silent on the other side and she could vaguely hear someone else talking in the background. He must be in a meeting. Thus, she closed her eyes and said to him, “Alright. I’ll talk to you when you’re free.”
