The Returning Ex

Chapter 54

Originally, Sophia wanted to come to the swimming pool to relax. However, now that John had come over, there was no way for her to relax anymore. Whenever she was faced with him, she just couldn’t relax no matter what she did. Moreover, no matter how natural she pretended to be, she was constantly tense around him.

Thus, she leaned back against the chair, feeling disappointed. “Are you guys going to continue playing? If not, I want to go back.”

Zack glanced over at John.

Then, John said expressionlessly, “Sure.”

He didn’t like being flirted with. Therefore, when that woman approached him just now, it ruined his mood completely.

So, the three of them left despite staying only for a short while.

Afterward, Sophia changed her clothes and waited by the entrance of the swimming pool for a while before John and Zack came out.

Zack eyed Sophia out of the corner of his eye, but his words were directed toward John. “Boss, let’s go out to play tomorrow. I’ve already thought of a place to visit.”

John didn’t care, nor did he ask about where they were going. “Okay.”

Zack looked rather pleased and wiggled his brows at Sophia.

However, Sophia ignored him.

After that, they got into the elevator and went down, then waited to get out.

Just then, Zack realized something. “That’s right. Sophia, please gather up your stuff later and move into the boss’ room. I’ll cancel that room of yours.” Sophia frowned.

However, he continued before she could say anything, “There are no married couples that sleep in separate rooms. That’s just treating other people like fools! The Infinity Group might just be digging up any loopholes we have on our side.”

In order to stop Sophia and John from saying anything, he continued, “Even if they saw the surveillance footage and know that the two of you were together that night… if the two of you continue quarreling at this point, the Infinity Group will have a chance to create a rumor about our boss and that female employee having an ambiguous relationship. That person… If she wanted to be shameless, they could do anything!”

Sophia wasn’t willing to listen to his bullsh*t. Thus, she waved her hand and said, “That’s enough; I’ll move into his room later. Stop talking; it’s not like I understand what you’re saying anyway.”

Then, she headed toward her own room.

John frowned. However, he said nothing in objection. Instead, he turned around and walked toward his room.

Zack stood on the spot, pursing his lips as he glanced about. Then, he laughed soundlessly.

When Sophia returned to the room, she sat by the bed and blanked out. She didn’t have many items— she couldn’t even fill her tiny luggage bag. Thus, she didn’t even know how to pack up.

Sitting around like this for a bit, Zack knocked on her door, claiming that he wanted to help her move her items.

Opening the door, she pointed toward the luggage by the door. “It’s just that one.”

“Okay.” Zack smiled and dragged the luggage outside.

John was sitting in his chair, staring at the computer. When Sophia entered the room, he didn’t even turn to look at her.

Sophia glanced at him and went straight into the bedroom. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

This room was similar to her room—it only had a bed. She stared at it for a long while before walking out again. “Where am I going to sleep tonight?”

John and Zack were taken aback at the same time. That was certainly a problem. Now, they weren’t a married couple anymore. Despite whatever passionate affairs that occurred between them before, when it came down to it, it wasn’t proper for them to share a bed anymore.

Zack laughed awkwardly and was unable to answer her.

John mulled over it, then replied, “You’ll take the bed; I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

Sophia seemed to be satisfied with his decision. Thus, she nodded. “Alright, I’ll have to trouble you then, President Constance.”

After saying that, she turned, walked into the bedroom, and changed into her pajamas. Sitting cross- legged on the bed, she lowered her head to stare at the bedsheet.

John had a mild case of mysophobia. Therefore, the bedsheet was definitely newly-bought by Zack. After all, John would never sleep on any bedsheets provided by the hotel.

This man is full of flaws.

She sat around for a while, then she lay down on the bed. For some reason, she felt uncomfortable even though she didn’t know which part of her body felt uncomfortable. Even so, she couldn’t tell

exactly what was wrong—it was just an inexplicable sense of unease.

Moreover, she wanted to go out to see what John was doing. At the same time, she felt that she shouldn’t. Thus, these two ideas fought for precedence in her head, leaving her feeling very conflicted.

Sophia didn’t dare to close her eyes. Whenever she closed her eyes, the passionate affair between her and John from the other day flashed across her eyes.
