The Returning Ex Chapter 1151
Logan and Lola didn’t stay for long after dinner. They said goodbye after a short while, and the Constance couple sent them to the parking lot. After they sent their friends off, the two of them went back to the main residence, hand in hand.
Halfway through, they saw Lady Jennifer coming out from the garden. Sophia kept quiet, for her relationship with Lady Jennifer was tense, just like her past relationship with Matilda, and they obviously disliked each other.
On the other hand, John greeted her. “Hello, Aunt Jennifer.”
Lady Jennifer’s expression froze when she saw them, but she nodded. “Just had dinner?”
“Yes. Are you going out? It’s late.”
“Dylan’s working overtime today, so I’m sending his dinner to him.” Lady Jennifer looked stiff.
John knew what she was getting at, so he went back with Sophia quietly. Of course, Dylan wasn’t working overtime; he just refused to go back. John had bumped into Dylan in the company, and he didn’t look all that well.
Dylan used to be a stern and serious man, but now, he was just lazy. This matter was beyond John, for Sophia had to be dragged in if he wanted to help.
When they got back, Sophia went to the bedroom, while John went to the study to settle the company matters. He had been delegating all his work to his subordinates, for Sophia’s belly was getting bigger, and he wanted to spend more time with her.
On the other hand, Sophia checked the results of Ian’s competition. If her memory served her right, the results would be released on this night.
Sophia lay in a comfy position before watching the show on her phone, but not long before she started, her baby started kicking her again. The little fellow would do that at the same time every night, so Sophia put her hands on her belly. “Hush, hush, baby. You can kick however you want after you’re born.”
The baby kicked her for a while longer before stopping completely. Hence, Sophia went back to her show, though she still kept her hand on her belly. She wanted to witness Ian being the champion live, but she drifted to sleep halfway through. Sleepiness would constantly assault her, and sometimes she’d fall asleep even while chatting with John.
On the other hand, John didn’t spend too much time on work. When he came back, he told Sophia, “I should be done delegating my work after a couple of days, then I’ll spend all my time with you at home.” When he didn’t get any answer, John looked up and noticed that Sophia was sleeping. He smiled before tiptoeing toward her. First, he kept her phone, then he adjusted her position.
Sophia turned around and mumbled a ‘do your best’ before going back to sleep. When John heard that, he caressed her hair, his gaze loving. After that, he picked up his pajamas and went to wash himself up before coming back with some water and a towel to wipe Sophia clean.
Sophia was already awake when he was wiping her hands, but she was still sleepy. Thus, she looked at John groggily, then she blurted, “It’d be nice if you were this caring before.”
“Yeah, I regret it too.” He regretted never taking care of Sophia, and he regretted taking her for granted.
