The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 51

John looked in the direction Zack was pointing. Sure enough, there stood a woman amongst the crowd.

She had her hair tied up in a bun and wore a slightly suggestive swimsuit. Moreover, several guys were

crowding around her.

Although she had her back to John, he immediately recognized her. That’s Sophia alright. I’ve shared

the same bed with her for such a long time, it’d be weird if I couldn’t recognize her by her figure.

Thus, John studied Sophia intently. Despite being surrounded by men, she was cheerfully chatting

away with a glass of juice in her hands. It was clear to see that she was feeling at ease among those

men.

Then, he nearly laughed. What Sophia said to me at the restaurant… She meant everything she said.

Right now, springtime has come for her, and she’s going to live life the way she wants to.

After observing her for a while, he nodded. “I thought she was resting in her room.”

Zack grinned. “That Sophia sure is restless! How is she always relying on her good looks to flirt

around?”

John wasn’t sure whether those words were meant as a rebuke or a backhanded compliment for

Sophia. Mulling over it, he decided to walk over to her.

At present, we remain a married couple to the public. Therefore, we need to make sure it looks

convincing. After all, someone secretly took photos of us back at the restaurant. What’s to say we

aren’t being watched now?

Meanwhile, Sophia was laughing heartily. These guys were rather humorous, smooth, and witty. At

first, she had been extremely bored back in her room. Thus, she came out to look for some fun and

excitement. Looks like it was the right choice. Taking a sip of her juice, she smiled innocently. “Is that

so? I’ve never been there before. To be honest, it’s my first time here.”

One of the guys beside her immediately said, “Of course. I come here for vacation every year. That

spot is a must-go! If you’re curious, I could bring you there.”

“Curious about what? Hmm?” Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind them.

Immediately after that, Sophia felt somebody hugging her waist from behind. She didn’t even need to

turn around to see who it was; she could tell just from his voice alone. On the other hand, the men

crowding around her were taken aback; they were frowning as they studied John.

Thus, Sophia looked back at John, seemingly a little surprised. “Weren’t you asleep? Why are you here

too?”

John smiled. “I didn’t see you anywhere after I woke up, so I asked Zack. He told me you were here, so

I came looking for you.”

Making a soft sound of acknowledgment, she slung one hand around his arm. “I was feeling a little

bored, so I came out to get some fresh air.”

Even a fool would be able to tell what sort of relationship they had from their conversation as well as Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

their actions. Thus, the guys surrounding her looked a little forlorn. Thinking that they had met a single,

young lady, they were attempting to hook up with her. Unfortunately, it seemed like she was taken.

John let his gaze sweep across the guys surrounding Sophia, then he pulled her away in another

direction with his arms still around her waist. “The next time you want to come to a place like this, bring

me along.”

Sophia chuckled. Lifting the glass of juice in her hands to his lips, she asked, “Do you want a sip?”

Then, he lowered his gaze and played along, taking a sip. “It’s too sweet.”

Subsequently, she took a sip. “I think it tastes great.” Then, she hugged him, practically leaning her

entire body against him.

I have to admit; she switches into character rather quickly. There were some tables and chairs in a

corner not too far off. Thus, he took her there and sat down.

As not many people were around that area, his expression returned to its usual impassive face.

Looking her up and down, he said, “We will probably hang around here for another two days before

heading back. Do you have anywhere you want to visit?”

She was surprised. Initially, she thought he would tell her off or warn her to let him know the next time

she wanted to come to a place like this. After all, they were in a partnership.

I guess I was worried for nothing. Perhaps he really doesn’t care about what I want to do. Thus, Sophia

smiled. “Hmm… what to do…” Reaching her hand across the table, she touched John’s hand. The tone

of her voice was both ambiguous and seductive as she said, “I’m actually really good at playing.”
