The Returning EX (Sophia and John) novel Chapter 1156

Isabelle said nothing, but the color was already draining from her face.

On the other hand, Ernest had made his appearance. There was a podium there, and he went up to thank everyone, as per social events. He was obviously excited, but Sophia couldn’t care less. She didn’t sleep that afternoon, and she was washed over by a wave of sleepiness. Then, she leaned against John, falling into his arms.

John kissed her. “What is it? Are you tired?”

“Yes,” she said weakly. Usually, she’d sleep until late in the afternoon, but since Logan and Lola were there that day, she didn’t go to bed. Because of that, she felt like dozing off.

John hugged her. “We’ll find a place for you to nap.”

” “I see. We do have a room here. Come with me.” John nodded. “Thank you.” Then, Isabelle took them to a room in the main residence. Before they left, her gaze met her grandfather’s, and the look of warning in his eyes did not escape her. Isabelle looked away, and her expression turned serious. The Constance couple were led to a room on the second floor, and Logan came over once they went inside. “Why are you guys here? What’s wrong with Sophia? I look away for two seconds, and you guys are gone.” John smiled. “She’s just tired. That’s all.” In response, Logan nodded, and he cheekily said, “I’m beat, so can I take a rest here too?” Sophia laughed. “Sure. There’s a sofa where you can rest.” Logan stretched his arms and went to the sofa. “I hate events like this. Everyone dresses up like they’re royalty. God, it’s annoying.” John grinned. Shooting straight was Logan’s trait, and he didn’t care who he offended.

Isabelle pretended not to hear that, for she knew what Logan was like. Her attention was on Sophia. “Have a good rest. Nothing’s going on down there. Come find me when you’re done napping.” Sophia smiled. “Sure.” Then, Isabelle left with John, while Logan stayed back in the room. Isabelle leaned against the bedside and waited. Around ten minutes later, John texted her, then she read it and smiled. Logan stood up. “Can we start now?” “Yes, we can.” Sophia nodded. Hence, Logan texted Lola, telling her to get ready, then he exited the room. Nobody was outside in the corridor, for everyone went to meet Ernest in the backyard. He beckoned at Sophia, and she left the room, lifting her dress. It was easy leaving through the front door when everyone including the servants were in the backyard. Not a soul realized Sophia and Logan’s departure even when they had exited the residence’s gates.
