The Returning Ex Chapter 1174

A faint sense of gratification manifested on Sophia’s face. “That’s good. Frankly speaking, I don’t quite fancy seeing her even though she did me a favor.” After saying that, she laughed maniacally again and declared self-deprecatingly, “I’ve always been such a dastardly person.”

Plopping down on the bed, John flipped over and hugged her tightly. “I love how you treat others dastardly.” After he’d said that, he then asked, “Do you know that Ian’s show is over?”

“I know. I watched a bit of it,” Sophia replied. “But I then fell asleep without watching until the very end.” At this, she gave an embarrassed chuckle. I’m simply a fake fan. In the past, I boasted of my support for him, but I ended up failing to watch even a single show of his to the end.

John leaned over and pecked her on the corner of her mouth. “He’ll probably be returning in a few days. He has signed with a company, and his upcoming schedule is rather packed, so he’ll probably come back before that to meet up with you guys.”

Sophia looked up at him. “How do you know all this?”

How do I know all this? John didn’t quite know how to answer her, because he’d also invested in the show Lorraine invested in, making him one of the bankrollers behind the scenes. A bankroller had the absolute right to dictate parameters, so it was convenient for him to play underhanded tricks behind closed doors.

It was him who proposed the closed-door training and confiscation of cell phones, forbidding any contact with the outside world. He even furtively pressured the crew to have them suggest that Ian refrain from divulging too much of his love life on the show. Back then, he was extremely disgruntled that Ian had confessed his love for Sophia twice on the show, so he cut off all communication between them.

In the end, he didn’t tell Sophia the truth, merely saying that Lorraine told him about it. Since Sophia had baby brain now, she didn’t really consider the veracity of his words.

They both cuddled in bed for a while before washing up and going downstairs to eat. Since Sophia slept in, her afternoon nap wouldn’t be necessary on this day. When they were having a stroll in the garden after lunch, Lola came to Sophia’s mind. Sophia then said that she wanted to visit Lola’s gym for a look since she hadn’t been to her workplace all this while.

It so happened that John was planning to go to the office to hand off his work, so he was feeling worried that she’d be bored at home alone. Thus, he drove her to Lola’s gym.

As he hadn’t been there before either, the two of them searched for a parking space. Just after they’d parked the car, Sophia pointed at a car nearby and exclaimed, “Look! Isn’t that Logan’s car?”

Alighting from the car, John casted a glance in that direction, only to instantly recognize that it was indeed Logan’s car. Makes sense. He has nothing much to do, and he’s now pursuing Lola, so he’ll definitely follow her around like a puppy. At that thought, he laughed. “Logan will certainly be chagrined when he sees us.”

Sophia nodded. “That’s for sure.”

Nevertheless, it didn’t bother them, and they both headed to Lola’s gym hand in hand. Although it was afternoon, there were still some people in the gym. There weren’t many people, but it wasn’t particularly deserted.

Sophia went in and peered around, but she didn’t see Lola. Thus, John went over to a coach and inquired about Lola’s whereabouts. The coach then lifted a hand and pointed in a direction. “There’s an office there when you take a right turn.”
