The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 188

It was apparent that Sophia was still under the influence of alcohol, as her sense of time was muddled,

which made her think that they were still bound to each other in a marriage that ate away at their

patience. Anxiety kicked in while she was still immersed in her own world, thus she looped her arms

around his neck before kissing him.

If there was ever a reason that rich individuals had a higher probability of cheating on their partners

compared to those who were poor, whomever that decided to step in between the married couple

would be to blame. Besides, those who stepped in tended to have good looks, which made it hard for

men to resist the temptation.

Such was John’s predicament. Logically, he knew he should push her away, as he should stop

associating himself with her. The fact that they were still living under the same roof was already

inappropriate in itself, while physical intimacy would only further complicate matters.

However, thoughts were merely thoughts, as he had a hard time restraining himself, which led him to

fall onto the bed with Sophia in his arms while she begged in a low voice, “John, can you not dislike

me?” From NôvelDrama.Org.

Her words came as a shock to him while he was overwhelmed by uncomfortable feelings. “I never did.”

Which was the truth, as he merely thought that they were incompatible. In fact, they were only ever in

sync when it came to sex and nothing else, for she was never his type from the very beginning.

Sophia seemed so happy about it, as if having gotten his promise, so she was being cooperative. That

wasn’t their first time having sex. John reached out to turn off the lights before opening up in the dark,

“Please don’t blame me.”

“It’s okay. I never did blame you.” Unwary of what he truly meant, she let slip a chuckle before kissing

him again.

The dark was where dark desires bred, in which mumbles and sounds of tangled limbs could be heard

even from outside the room. It was the only way for John to let loose his desires of wanting her.

Meanwhile, Sophia kept on telling him she liked him while in a muddled state of mind, which John didn’t

take seriously, as he figured she was but a drunken woman who couldn’t tell where and when she was,

so she could only ever spout nonsense.

After a prolonged period of movement, they finally fell asleep, with Sophia holding onto his arm as she

slept soundly. On the other hand, John woke up after a short nap before checking the time to realize

that he needed to go to work.

She had her arms around his waist, while her legs were tangled with his, and her face was snuggled

against his chest as she slept soundly. It was thus he had to push her away slowly to get out of bed

and reach for his clothes. After that, he returned to his room for a shower.

They seemed to get more chances for physical contact after their divorce, which John was beginning to

get used to, thus didn’t have much thoughts about it. After tidying himself, he went downstairs and

drove himself to the company.

While Sophia was still deep in slumber, she began dreaming after he left. The dream itself was chaotic,

as it presented her with scenes of John pressing on top of her while doing all sorts of embarrassing

things to her.

He even went against his seemingly aloof nature to tell her some sweet nothings, which pleased her

enough for her to smile in her dreams.

Hunger awakened her when noon came, while her sleep-addled brain failed to recognize where she

was when she woke to the chandelier in the room.

She was lying in bed with the blanket kicked aside, while a frown formed on her face when she slowly

moved her hands across her body to realize that she was stark naked.

This shouldn’t be, as I have a habit of sleeping with my clothes on, Sophia figured as she scanned her

surroundings while lying in bed before sitting up on it.

She was in her room, that much she knew, but she couldn’t recall how she got in there. Something felt

off about her body when she lowered her gaze to check on herself, which caused her to hiss in

disappointment as she wondered if something had happened while she was drunk.
