The Returning Ex Chapter 1152

He shouldn’t have abandoned her and hurt her just because his dumb feelings were challenged.

After wiping her clean and changing her clothes, John turned the lights off and lay with her. Sophia went into his arms, and John closed his eyes, but he couldn’t sleep.

He thought about his Aunt Jennifer, then he thought about Dylan. When they met in the company a few days ago, he asked John a question. It wasn’t an aggressive one, just a normal ‘Are you happy?’

John thought it was hard to answer that. ‘Happy’ was an understatement for the life he was living these days. Now, he had something to look forward to every day. He had a goal, and his life was more colorful than ever. ‘Happy’ would reduce it to a singular feeling.

Then, Dylan said, “If you feel that you’re happy, then thank me.”

John didn’t retort. If Dylan would feel better by thinking that way, then John would let him, though John firmly believed that he earned his happiness.

Once, Sophia had given up on him, but he stubbornly won her back; nobody gave her up for him or helped him. The Constance couple slept in each other’s arms, then Sophia grunted in the dead of the night.

Awakened by the sudden noise, John quickly sat up. “What’s wrong?”

“My leg is cramping.” Sophia didn’t even open her eyes.

John quickly straightened up. “Which leg? I’ll give it a rub.”

Sophia groggily extended her cramped leg to John, and he massaged it for her. Buoyed by how good it felt, Sophia drifted to sleep quickly.

John kept it up for a while, and when Sophia didn’t stir, he tucked her in again.

When she felt him beside her, Sophia hugged him and rubbed her face against his neck before going back to sleep. John just had to kiss her after that, for she could always hit that sweet spot.

After that, John stayed awake for a long time, worried that Sophia would be unwell. Even when morning came, Sophia stayed in bed. She was curled up, and half her head was covered. Her belly was hidden, and nobody could see that she was pregnant. This vulnerable state was enticing John, but he refrained from doing it.

Then, he was reminded of the second day of their first marriage. One night ago, Sophia lost her virginity, and the pain kept her up late into the night.

She was curled up under the blanket the same way she was now the next morning. John stopped to stare at her, forgetting about going to the bathroom. If she’s going to give birth to a daughter who looks just like her, I’ll be the happiest man in the world.

Sophia only woke up in the afternoon, and her leg was still throbbing thanks to the cramp last night. After thumping on it for a while, she turned around to see a slip of paper on the bedside. It was from John.

Slips? Seriously, what age does he live in? Sophia laughed. In the note, John didn’t say anything important. He only reminded Sophia to eat and sleep well. Also, he told her he’d take a break after delegating the work so he could spend time with her at home, and he even childishly drew a heart at the end of the message.
