The Returning Ex Chapter 1352

Sophia stared at John. After a long while, she said, “No one else is interested in me since I’m only a touch alluring in your eyes. Don’t tell me you truly think those young, single guys will take a liking to a married lady who has conceived a child like me?”

John’s expression remained tense. “What has your allure got to do with whether you’re married or have a child? In my opinion, you’re more beautiful than the average woman, so you’re more alluring than them.”

The two of them were initially headed for a row, but it veered off tangent at this remark, so the argument was no longer on the horizon. After all, this was obviously a somewhat corny complaint.

Sophia struggled for a bit. “Get up quickly. Get up! You’re crushing me.” John didn’t move, so she heaved a sigh. “Let me tell you that no one else is interested in me. Even if someone were interested in me, I’m not interested in anyone else. You, John Constance, are so alluring that I’m worried that if I were to let go of you, Isabelle would quickly snatch you away.”

Upon hearing this, John’s expression eased. He flipped over and got off her, lying down beside her instead.

Sophia then continued, “Don’t keep harping on the fact that Ian is interested in me. I’m not even guarding against Isabelle on your side, so this is the pot calling the kettle black. Do you really want things to persist like this?”

Pursing his lips, John resentfully muttered, “That’s different.”

“What’s the difference?” Sophia flipped to her side to face him. “Do you dare say that Isabelle doesn’t have feelings for you? Do you believe that if we were to get divorced now and you were to go back to her, she’d still be willing to get together with you?”

John shot her a glare. “Stop talking nonsense. What divorce? Don’t simply say such a thing!”

Snorting, Sophia continued pursuing the subject, saying, “You can’t tell me that Isabelle has no feelings for you, so she’s no different to me than Ian is to you. However, do I guard against her as you guard against Ian? Was my attitude toward her amiable when she came over a few days ago? And did I object when you rushed over to help her with Elder Mr. Bailey’s cremation with a mere phone call from her?”

John’s brows furrowed, but before he could say anything in response, Sophia added, “Be honest with yourself, John. If this matter is reversed, and it was me rushing over to help Ian, will you be this calm now? Are you as magnanimous as I am?”

At this, John went silent. He thought, If this matter is reversed, and I know that Ian is in trouble, I wouldn’t be able to stomach her running over to help him. Even if I don’t say anything, my attitude will still be different.

As Sophia looked at his expression, she knew that her words had gone through. Snorting, she turned onto her back and stared at the ceiling. “I’m far more magnanimous than you.”

John was rendered speechless, and Sophia didn’t want to continue arguing with him either. After all, some things would damage the relationship if they were put too clearly. Anyhow, she believed that he understood her meaning. Closing her eyes, she composed herself, but a bout of drowsiness assaulted her. Just when she was on the verge of dozing off, she felt him leaning close to her.

John gave a soft sigh, his breath hitting her ear. Then, he carefully pulled her into his arms. “It’s because I care about you.” His voice was very low, so much so that it wasn’t certain whether he intended her to hear those words.

Sophia merely turned and burrowed into his embrace, reaching out to hug him around the waist. With this action, no other words were necessary.

Meanwhile, Logan took Lola to visit the attractions nearby. After Ian had taken half the day to come out with them, he didn’t have any more time on his hands. While his work wasn’t really packed, he didn’t have much time to spare. Nonetheless, Logan was in no hurry, so he strolled around with Lola. They had a lot of time, so they wanted to kill time while waiting to follow Ian to his next work destination.

Lola, on the other hand, had never been so relaxed. Besides eating, drinking, and having fun, nothing else existed in her mind every day.
