The Returning Ex

Chapter 68

Zack did not give it any further consideration and just nodded. “I do. I have one more with me. I’ll bring it to you in a bit.”

Then, he looked at Sophia. “What would you like to have for dinner?”

Sophia looked somewhat downcast. “I don’t know. Up to you guys. I have no preferences.”

Her initial thought was to ask Zack to get her a morning-after pill but after giving it some thought, she decided not to do that as she reckoned it would be better for her to get them herself.

Zack stared at her. “What’s wrong? Is your stomach feeling unwell after drinking?”

“No.” Sophia smiled. “I’m just a little tired.”

Zack grinned. “Why are you still tired after such a long nap?”

After cracking the joke, he turned around and headed out to ask John what he would like to have.

John was equally exhausted. He leaned on the couch and was on his phone. “Let’s call room service, shall we? I don’t feel like moving much.”

Seeing him, a somewhat evil thought crossed Zack’s mind. “What’s wrong with the two of you? Why are you both so tired? Are you guys hiding something?”

John slowly looked up at Zack, not saying a word.

Very quickly, Zack’s face turned serious. “I’ll just place the orders. Let’s eat here then.”

John did not respond to him.

Then, Zack turned around, sat in the chair in the corner, made a phone call, and placed the orders.

Meanwhile, after staying in the room for a little while more, Sophia stood up and walked out of the room. “I’m heading out real quick and will be back right away.”

Her words caught Zack off guard. “Where are you going? It’s pretty late now. What do you want to do?”

Sophia grunted. “It’s just a quick one. Don’t worry. I’ll be back right away. I’ll be fine.”

As she finished, she opened the door and slowly walked out. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

There was actually a pharmacy located inside the hotel. As such, Sophia went there and got herself a morning-after pill.

She heard that these pills were bad for her body.

As she had already taken them once before, she was truly reluctant to take them again this time around.

After all, she could not blame John for what happened because she chose to consume alcohol and bring this whole thing on herself.

With the pill in her hand, Sophia thought about it and moved to stand at the hotel entrance.

Tonight was slightly chilly, and she leaned on a pillar, feeling bored.

She did not want to go back to the room as she did not know what to say when the three of them were there.

She reckoned that the atmosphere would be strange.

After standing there for a while, her phone rang.

She was surprised to hear her phone ring as apart from the insurance company or telemarketers, almost no one ever called her.

Then, she took out her phone and was startled to find that there was a name showing.

She contemplated for a few seconds before answering it.

Right away, the other side of the phone quickly sounded out, “Sophia, are you with John right now?”

The tone was not too friendly.

Sophia kept quiet.

If this phone call took place back in the days, she would have addressed her as ‘Mom’ before answering her questions.

But now, this woman was no longer her mother-in-law.

After not getting a response from her, Mrs. Constance got upset. “I’m talking to you, Sophia. Let me ask you again: did you go and look for John?”

Then, Sophia immediately hung up the phone.

She was quiet because she was trying very hard to stop herself from saying something bad.

However, hanging up on Mrs. Constance would probably agitate her too.

Right now, Sophia felt slightly released.

She put her phone back and walked back into the hotel.

After she got out of the elevator and arrived at her room, she saw that John was on the phone the moment she opened the door.

It was not hard to guess who he was speaking with.

Then, John looked up, glanced at Sophia, and commented, “I already told you that it’s not what you think it is. I’ll explain it to you when I get back. Alright, I’m busy here. We’ll talk soon.”

Then, John hung up the phone.

Even though they both hung up on Mrs. Constance, Mrs. Constance would not be mad at John; she would just blame Sophia for everything.

Sophia ignored John and sneered before going straight into her room.
