The Returning Ex Chapter 1059

William gently shook his head and helplessly said, “My situation is not so different from yours. You were bothered by Isabelle back then, right? So, just recall what you went through, and you’ll know what I’m facing.”

John put himself in his father’s shoes and pondered on it. Soon, he chuckled and replied, “Wow! That’s quite a sticky situation you’re in.” William didn’t utter a word more, and John silently thought to himself for a few moments. Still, I think Madam Yolanda seems to present herself better than Isabelle does. Furthermore, Yolanda’s relationship with her own family isn’t that out of the ordinary, so I doubt they’ll be up to any monkey business, unlike the Bailey Family.

After that, both men proceeded to discuss their work as John would like to delegate his non-essential work to someone else because he wanted to spend more time with Sophia. “Work was such a huge part of my life back then that I entirely neglected Sophia. Now that she is pregnant, I’d like to make it up to her.”

William nodded in agreement. “Alright, I’ll discuss this with Owen and Samuel to see if they can arrange someone to take up those tasks.”

Then, John made a suggestion. “What about Dylan? If possible, I’ll talk about this with him. Actually, we spoke earlier on, and I was told that his workload is quite manageable.” Initially, Dylan was supposed to handle orders from the Bailey Family, but since their latest orders had been greatly reduced, Dylan was expected to count them out for the moment. Furthermore, Dylan’s father had also made some adjustments to his workload because he knew Dylan was busy with his own matchmaking. Therefore, John reckoned Dylan should have no problem taking over those jobs. Now that he has a girlfriend, I suppose it’s time for him to shoulder more responsibilities.

Upon hearing Dylan’s name, William let out a sigh and said, “Oh, forget about him. I don’t think Dylan will be able to take on any extra work anytime soon.”

“Why? What’s wrong with him? I haven’t heard anything about him lately,” John asked with a surprised voice.

After a brief contemplation, William answered, “You know Dylan has recently gotten a new girlfriend, right? Something seems to be wrong with them lately as they haven’t kept in touch with each other for a while. Dylan’s parents have been nagging him to patiently sort things out with his girlfriend, but it looks like they couldn’t change his mind. They ended up saying things that weren’t too nice, so now, things appear to be back to square one, and Dylan hasn’t talked to his parents for two days now.”

Meanwhile, John had no idea about what Dylan had been going through at all, even though he had often seen him recently. Nonetheless, he understood why he didn’t catch anything from Dyaln when he was reminded of the latter’s taciturn nature that kept him from opening up to anyone about his feelings.

After that, John answered, “Oh, I see. If that’s the case, I feel sorry for Aunt Jennifer, especially when I recall her happily bragging about Dylan’s girlfriend. Anyway, I must admit that I’m indeed surprised to learn that things have taken a turn for the worse between them so soon. Knowing Dylan, I doubt he is a belligerent person who’d start an argument for no good reason.”

William was confused as he sighed and said, “Maybe it’s not an argument. They might have subsequently realized they’re not meant for each other and decided to part in their own ways. Anyway, it seems to me that Dylan is just playing the devil’s advocate for the sake of resisting his parents. The more his parents make him do something, the more he resists.”

“I guess you have a point.” John empathized with Dylan, recalling the same situation that he was previously in when he was forced to marry Sophia. Since this was his grandpa’s idea that was imposed on him, he was blinded by his reluctance, refusing to submit by leaving Sophia in the cold.
