The Returning Ex

More rustling sounds at Isabelle’s side came over the phone again before Isabelle hung up the call without a word.

Squeezing the phone, Sophia contemplated for a long time, and then sent a message to John telling him her guesses about Isabelle’s location. There was no reply from him though; it seemed that he was very busy.

After that, Sophia grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom. Taking off her coat, she looked at her belly in the mirror. It’s really amazing how my belly is protruding so obviously now.

Sophia touched her belly as she imagined a little child sleeping in there. It was something she didn’t dare to think about before. Perhaps it was because she felt insecure at that time, so she didn’t dare to think about the future. Now, however, when everything calmed down around her, she would occasionally think about what it would be like for children to run and laugh around her in the future.

After looking in the mirror for a while, she took a shower before coming out to see John’s missed call on her phone. She hurriedly called back, and John picked up this time. His tone sounded quite unruffled as he told her that he was a little busy now and might be back quite late, so Sophia shouldn’t wait up for him.

However, John was also afraid that Sophia might feel distressed, so he emphasized that he would definitely be back at night.
