The Returning Ex

John sighed. “Perhaps she’s been too stressed, so she’s overly tired these days. As she’s thin in the first place, her body can’t take it in the long run even though there’s no major problem with her health.”

Logan gave him a thoughtful look. “She’s indeed very thin, so she really needs some nourishment.” After saying that, he added, “You’ve been here the whole time?”

Nodding, John leaned back against the sofa. “I was worried about her.”

Logan was slightly relieved to hear that he’d stayed, but recalling Ian, he then felt that it seemed rather inappropriate. Thus, he stared at John for a long while before asking hesitantly, “Isn’t your life affected when you take care of Sophia so much?”

John guffawed at the subtlety of the question. “How would it be affected? I’m single, and so is she. The only thing that might happen is rumors floating around. What else could there be?” Without waiting for him to respond, he instantly added, “Besides, we were once husband and wife, so we have a strong emotional foundation. Even if something does happen, it’s only natural.”

Standing at the landing on the second floor, Sophia was gripped by the urge to rebuff him upon hearing his shameless remark. A strong emotional foundation? How brazen of him to say that! Has he forgotten how he treated me in the past?

Robin was the first to notice her, so she sprang to her feet. “Sophia.”

This time, Sophia had gotten her fill of sleep. She then descended the stairs. “You’re all here?”
