The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 90

Mrs. Constance sat across from Sophia and would occasionally look up at her.

Naturally, her expression was no better than before.

She particularly liked Isabelle ever since a long time ago.

The marriage between John and Isabelle was facilitated by all sorts of lobbying.

She was satisfied with Isabelle no matter how she looked at her.

However, when all the good things had almost arrived, Sophia had unexpectedly come in between them.

As a result, even before meeting Sophia in person, she was full of disgust and hatred toward Sophia.

During that time, Old Mr. Constance could not hold on much longer and kept asking John and William to promise and agree to their marriage.

Although Mrs. Constance was a little brainless and domineering, she had to be filial.

In the end, she had no choice but to advise John and make him surrender.

In the beginning, Mrs. Constance looked and scanned Sophia’s entire person.

Looking back and forth, she could only manage to find one strong point of hers—Sophia’s looks were okay.

Her looks were just okay, but it was useless as Mrs. Constance still disliked Sophia.

This time, Sophia did not even look at her and continued filling up her stomach. She put down her chopsticks after she was full.

She then took the napkin and wiped her mouth before saying, “Please take your time. I’ll head out first.”

Old Mrs. Constance looked at Sophia but remained silent.

In the past, early departure was not allowed in the Constance Family.

It was disrespectful to the elders when the young put down their chopsticks and left the table even when the elders were still eating.

Mrs. Constance hurriedly looked at Old Mrs. Constance, hoping that she would say a word or two to kill Sophia’s spirit.

However, Old Mrs. Constance only looked at Sophia before lowering her head to eat again.

Meanwhile, Sophia swaggered her way out from the dining room and did not return to her room.

Instead, she went out for a walk.

Since she had just finished her meal, she needed to digest it. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Sophia stood at the space in front of the main building for a while before walking toward the backyard.

Almost everyone was having their meals at this time.

Since there were many family members in the Constance Family, their relations would naturally be a little more complicated.

However, everyone was a responsible person. If they could not get along with each other, they would not be in contact with each other.

Sophia walked slowly toward the backyard.

From there, she could enter into a bamboo forest at the back.

It was almost a year since she got married into the Constance Family, but she had never been there before.

Sophia went over to look for a while and noticed that the back door was locked.

She turned to look at her surroundings and noticed that there was a shed by the side. It was not a big shed, but the door to it was opened.

So, she entered the shed to look around and found a ladder.

She did not mind using some effort to carry the ladder out and placing it against the wall. Soon after, she climbed the ladder.

However, when she reached the top of the wall, she became speechless.

This wall was a little too high and there was no way to jump down from there, which made Sophia a little scared.

She felt a little discouraged. However, when she was still contemplating on whether she should jump down or return, Sophia heard someone say, “Hey, what are you doing up there?”

Sophia was startled by the voice. When she turned around, she saw a person standing under the tree not far away.

She was unsure how long he had been standing there as he was leaning against the tree trunk and crossing his arms.

Sophia frowned. “Can’t you guess by looking at my posture?”

After two seconds, the man raised his foot and walked over.

Sophia knew this person. He was from the Second Constance Family and was the second young master of the Constance Family—Dylan Constance.

Dylan stared at Sophia for a long time and asked, “Do you want to go to the bamboo forest behind?”

Sophia replied, “Yes. Do you have any ideas? The door is locked.”

Dylan smiled and said, “I do have ideas.”

Therefore, Sophia did not hesitate any longer and descended from the wall.

She patted her pants and said, “Alright then. Let’s go.”

Initially, Dylan wanted to say that even if he could unlock the door, why would he want to take Sophia out into the bamboo forest.

Nonetheless, after looking at Sophia, he swallowed back his words and nodded. “Let’s go then.”

Indeed, Dylan had the keys to the back door.

He went over and soon, managed to unlock the door.

Sophia poked her head out to look at the surroundings and was shocked. “So this is how it looks like in the back.”

Dylan went out immediately and said, “Let’s go. Didn’t you want to come out and have a look?”

Sophia was not afraid to be alone with another man even when it was almost nighttime.

She followed him out in an instant.

The sky was slightly dark, but the visibility was still fine.

Inside the bamboo forest, there was a path that seemed to be paved with stones.

And so, Sophia and Dylan slowly walked toward the bamboo forest.

All of a sudden, Dylan turned to ask Sophia, “By the way, didn’t you and my brother get a divorce?”

Sophia chuckled and simply replied, “We’re not divorced. Your brother says that he’s not divorcing me because he can’t live without me.”
