The Returning Ex

Sophia groaned softly and turned over, continuing to sleep. After a few seconds, John placed his palm on her belly and stroked it gently. Actually, he couldn’t feel anything on her flat stomach now. In addition to that, because of her odd sleeping position earlier, her belly was even a little concave. Despite that, it didn’t diminish his curiosity and he kept his hand on her belly, taking in the sensation little by little.

He really couldn’t feel anything, but he could still sense the small life growing underneath his palm bit by bit. Meanwhile, Sophia was in such a deep slumber that she didn’t even notice when he changed her into her pajamas. When he was done, she merely turned the other way and resumed sleeping.

Finally, after a long time, he smiled and lay down, holding her in his arms. Regardless of whether she could hear it or not, he whispered, “Thank you, Sophia.” Even though it was Sophia who had said that to him many times before, he was the one who should have said it to her.

In the middle of the night, John’s cell phone suddenly rang, and after making sure that Sophia wasn’t awakened by it, he turned over and grabbed his cell phone. When he saw that it was his subordinate calling, he went to the hallway to pick up the call.
