The Returning EX (John and Sophia) Novel - Chapter 813

Before John had to go upstairs to call Sophia, she had come downstairs. Since William was still at the social gathering, and Matilda had returned home, the atmosphere during dinner was somewhat quiet. Looking at the seats William and Matilda usually sat on, Old Mrs. Constance lamented, "I miss the time when all of us could sit together and have a meal. Without them, it just feels incomplete." Sophia flashed a gentle smile at her. "You can tell Master William to bring Madam Flintstone back.

By then, we'll be able to have dinner together again." Nibbling at his food, John went along by saying, "When dad comes home later, I'll ask him what he plans to do." Darting her gaze between Sophia and John, Old Mrs. Constance put on a smile without uttering a word. As soon as John finished eating, his phone on the table started ringing. Upon taking a look, he picked it up and left the dining hall.

Sophia happened to catch a glimpse of the screen, and she knew that the person was John's subordinate. Pouting, she watched John disappear from the living room. Then, she tutted and said, "He's been busy for the entire day." Picking up a piece of tissue, Old Mrs. Constance wiped the grease off her mouth and replied, "Don't worry.

I'm sure he's really busy with work and not hiding anything from you." A moment later, she added, "Given his temperament, I don't think any other woman will fall in love with him." Sophia arched her brow, thinking that Old Mrs. Constance didn't really understand her grandson. Although John was hot-tempered, he was rich and handsome. These two qualities could eclipse the flaws in his temperament and make any woman fall for him. After stepping out of the living room, John picked up the call.

With a lowered voice, the subordinate reported, "Sir, something happened." John grunted, not feeling surprised. "What's wrong?" The subordinate sighed. "I guess the woman had figured that we would handle the problem like this, so after we captured her, she started throwing a tantrum. Just now, when we were not paying attention, she crashed her head into the wall. Her head is now drenched in blood, but she wouldn't let us help treat her.
