The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 30

The car didn’t stop at the hotel they were staying in. Instead, Sophia asked the driver to stop when they

were a distance away from it, much to John and Zack’s surprise.

After the car had stopped, Sophia smiled at them before going out of the car. “I’ll be leaving now. You

guys go ahead without me.”

John looked back and said nothing. After Sophia had closed the door, he told the driver to start driving.

Zack looked at John from the rear-view mirror to see that he was scrolling through his phone. Then,

Zack looked at Sophia from the side mirror.

She looked like a naive lady with her getup, and slowly, she faded from their sights. “Is Sophia worried

someone might bump into us and take it the wrong way if we go back together?”

John said nothing, so Zack continued, “I mean, she has a suitor staying in this hotel too, so it’s not

great if he sees us together. I can understand why.”

John slowly looked up at him. “What are you trying to say?”

“Nothing.” Zack chuckled. “Just saying.”

John sneered at him, but he said nothing.

On the other hand, Sophia slowly went toward the hotel, since it wasn’t too far anyway. It was lively

here; there were hawker shops and stalls set up everywhere. Sophia went around, but before she

came to the hotel, she bumped into a familiar person.

Seeing that Trevor was buying souvenirs of some sort from the local vendor, Sophia went up to him

and patted his back. “Hi.”

Trevor was surprised, so he looked back and stared at Sophia for a few moments before recognizing

Sophia. “Oh, it’s you. I didn’t recognize you.”

Sophia smiled. “Are you buying something?”

Trevor quickly paid for his stuff before facing her. “When I came back to the beach with the gastric

medicine that night, you were gone.”

Sophia was still smiling. “I was hospitalized. Internal bleeding, so I stayed there for a couple of days.”

Trevor was shocked. “That sounds serious.”

Sophia nodded. “It’s chronic. I just got discharged today.” It was late, so she looked in the hotel’s

direction. “Do you have anything else to do? Why don’t we go back together then?”

Trevor quickly said, “Oh, sure. Let’s go.”

With that, they sauntered back to the hotel. When they came to the front door, Sophia noticed the car

stopping not far from the front door; it was the car with John in it. Sophia couldn’t see who was in there,

but she didn’t care. Then, she asked where Trevor had gone over the couple of days, while he

answered everything excitedly.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

When they came into the lobby happily, Zack and John were inside too. John was speaking on the

phone beside the bonsai at the front door, while Zack stood not far away.

Sophia saw both of them when she came in, but she pretended not to see them. Since Trevor was

talking about some interesting things he saw, she chuckled. “Really? That sounds interesting.”

Trevor was smiling too. “Are you free tomorrow? If you are, we can go out together. There’s a place

here that has great scenery, so why don’t we go there tomorrow?”

Sophia pursed her lips. “Oh, um…” She glanced at John and Zack; the latter noticed her gaze, so he

tugged at John’s arm, signaling him to look her way. When she went past them, Sophia nodded. “Sure.

What time tomorrow?”

Trevor was delighted that she agreed. “Let’s make it earlier. It’ll be too hot if we go late. I’ll give you a

morning call at around five tomorrow. What do you say?”

“Sure.”

After that, Sophia heard Zack say, “Did you hear that? They’re going out together, alone!” He didn’t

bother to lower his voice.
