The Returning Ex Chapter 854

The Returning Ex Chapter 854

Despite learning about the Morgan Family’s disharmony, Ian appeared to look unbothered. He would have felt elated as well if he had heard about these things when he was younger, but now, all these just sounded like nothing more than gossip to him. Therefore, he’d rather spend his time on something else rather than those people that he didn’t like.

As Ian was beginning to let go of that matter, he had made up his mind to cut ties with the Morgan Family, wanting nothing to do with them ever again. He then leaned back on the couch and sighed. “The Morgan Family will have to count on Sean from now on.” No one else but Sean can help the Morgan Family get back to its feet. Initially, Dad kept on nagging Sally and Simon to study hard for the sake of the company. What a pipe dream!

Meanwhile, Sophia had hardly heard of anything about Sean, merely knowing him as a man who kept a low profile as she never saw a picture of him even on the news. Then, she was reminded of an interview that she had seen somewhere, which was related to Sean. True to his character, that man only answered nothing more than what he was asked. A man like him always seems to have a hidden agenda, but I guess the Morgan Family would prosper under his leadership if he were to step up. Soon, she curiously asked, “When your brother leads the Morgan Family, I wonder if it’ll be a bad thing for the three of them.”

Upon hearing Sophia’s words, Ian thought about it in a serious manner before revealing a smile. “I doubt things are going to end up too terribly for them, even though their life won’t exactly be a good one from that point on.”

As soon as Ian finished his sentence, Sophia’s phone rang and interrupted their conversation. She answered the call, which turned out to be from Matilda to ask her where she was. Upon taking a glimpse at Ian, she told Matilda that she was at Logan’s club. Deep down, she was hoping that Matilda could come here and get her out of this awkward situation. If only Matilda was here to get me off the hook.

At that moment, a waiter came over and served the noodles for Ian. Matilda seemed to have heard his voice, for she then chuckled and said, “I’ll be there in a minute.”

Once Sophia hung up the call, she put down her phone and explained to Ian. “It was John’s mom. She has been treating me well lately, and we’ve both buried the hatchet.”

“Oh.” A preoccupied look appeared on Ian’s face. “It seems that a lot of things happened when I was away.”

After hearing his words, Sophia hated to guess what Ian was implying, so she only responded with a nod. For the next few moments, silence ensued as Sophia leaned back on the couch and shifted her gaze elsewhere. Meanwhile, Ian began to enjoy his noodles while looking at his phone, seemingly checking out a text message that was just received. Witnessing his frown, Sophia couldn’t help but wonder if something serious happened. Perhaps it’s some update about his competition. I suppose Ian has been having a hard time fighting all alone for the sake of his future.

In the meantime, Matilda arrived at the lounge not long after their call, but when she saw the man beside Sophia, she quickly came closer to have a look, only to realize that it was Ian. Surprised, Matilda asked, “You’re back, Ian?”

Ian put down his phone and looked up at Matilda. “Today is a holiday for me, Mrs. Constance.”

Matilda nodded and replied, “Oh, I see. I bet you could use a break too.” Then, she looked around her and asked in confusion, “Where is Logan? Why don’t I see him?”
