The Returning EX (Sophia and John) novel Chapter 990

Isabelle sighed. “The situation at my house isn’t looking good and I really don’t want to stay here any longer. I just want to understand your progress now so that I can leave as soon as possible if everything’s going on smoothly.”

After considering things for a moment, John asked, “Will your grandfather and father allow you to leave?”

This was indeed a good question as Isabelle was the only hope of the main branch of the Bailey Family now that Dexter was gone. Mrs. Bailey had left, and only her father would be left in the family if Isabelle were to leave as well. Thus, John knew that Old Mr. Bailey and Elder Mr. Bailey would definitely disagree if Isabelle wanted to leave.

Isabelle fell into silence before answering, “I have my own ways.”

John paused for a moment before he suggested, “You need to think about this carefully as it would be a huge problem if what your family is doing is exposed. If you don’t want to get involved in this, it would be better if you can leave as soon as possible.”

Then, Isabelle sighed before telling him that she understood and hung up.

After John brought Sophia back to the main building, he accompanied Sophia to watch some animations on the couch before they returned to their room. However, a mere few minutes after John entered the bedroom, Zack’s phone call came, so he had to go to the study room.

Sophia sighed as she changed into her pajamas.

It felt like John had returned to how he was like during their first marriage, being busy as always. Then, she lay on the bed and started scrolling through the news on her phone. There wasn’t any interesting news recently besides those in the entertainment section. As Sophia sat on her bed and pondered for a moment, she recalled the talent show that Ian joined previously. It had been a really long time since she last watched it, so she couldn’t help but wonder about his progress now. Then, Sophia started looking it up before realizing that the show had already reached its final stage in the championship. It had been a long time since she last contacted Ian, and they hadn’t talked much the last time he came back. Still, it felt to Sophia like they had already talked everything out. However, it was impossible for them to return to how they were in the first place even when the problem was already resolved. Sophia randomly tapped on the newest episode and started watching the show. Ian’s condition was getting better now and he had returned to how he was last time, quiet and slightly distant. Then, Sophia scrolled through the comments below to see that many netizens had good things to say about Ian. Ian was promoting himself as a gentle prince. Although this wasn’t the fastest road to gain more fans, he still had a solid fanbase. During the start of the show, Ian had been singing sweet love songs, but he had been venturing into different song genres during these few episodes. For example, he sang an explosive rock and roll song during the latest episode. This was Sophia’s first time seeing Ian going all out singing on the stage as he had always been gentle and restrained, so she couldn’t help but feel sad when she heard his heart-rending singing.
