The Returning Ex

After Sophia had tossed and turned for a short while, she could finally fall asleep.

This time, she didn’t have a good sleep, as she had dreamed about the past.

Back then, her grandpa went to the hospital for a checkup, and coincidentally, he was reunited with Old Mr. Constance. With that, Old Mr. Constance had invited them over to the Constance Residence.

Although Sophia knew the Constance Family was really wealthy, she was still startled when she stepped into the residence.

Even the clothes which the maids were wearing seemed to be a notch better than hers.

That day was the first time she had met John in person.

However, he was only back to retrieve a document and quickly went off, without even noticing her.

In a rather reserved manner, Sophia sat on the couch in the living room, and was nervous to the extent that she didn’t even know where to place her hands.

When John walked in, he knew there were guests, so he politely nodded his head to her and her grandpa before heading straight upstairs.

In less than a minute, he came down and left again.
