The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 965

Sophia then asked Logan where he was, to which he stammered and said, “I’m away from home.” Upon hearing his

reply, Sophia let out a sigh, feeling tempted to pull Logan’s leg, if only she was in the mood to do that. I bet this guy

must be licking Lola’s boots right now, but I’m not going to say that out today.

Soon, Sophia proceeded to make her point known. “I don’t know what’s going on with John, so can you talk to him

and find out what help he needs? Logan, you’re the only one I can trust right now. I wouldn’t impose on you if I

could do this myself. Please, I’m worried about him.”

Logan sighed and replied, “Relax! I just spoke with John, and he knows what he is doing. Come on, have some faith

in both of us! John and I are buddies. I’ve got his back!” Then, he added, “John is way tougher than you think, so

don’t let your wild imagination scare you. Just take good care of yourself because you’re going to live a happy life

after everything is over.”

Logan’s reply gave Sophia an obvious hint that John hadn’t been completely upfront with her about what he knew

regarding the Bailey Family, which was why she didn’t know where things stood between him and them. Is the

investigation coming to an end already? After ending the call with Logan, Sophia felt better, even though she still

couldn’t shake off her nerves. Then, she lay down and switched off the lights, trying to fall asleep as soon as

possible. Maybe everything will be over the moment I open my eyes to find John by my side.

Although Sophia sleeplessly tossed and turned in bed at first, she eventually dozed off without herself knowing it.

Nonetheless, her sleep wasn’t exactly a peaceful one as she could vaguely hear strange sounds. At the same time,

she unknowingly stretched out her hand toward the empty space beside her in bed, trying to feel John’s presence,

but to no avail. Although she believed nothing would likely happen to John since he was protected by his

bodyguards, she was still bothered by a bad feeling deep down.

The next morning, Sophia woke up and found herself alone in the bed. John didn’t come home last night. She then

sighed and slowly sat up straight.

Upon reaching for her phone, she saw a message from John telling her to rest assured as he was safe and sound.

After that, she heaved a sigh of relief and went about her morning ablution since it was still early.

Then, she returned to her bed and sat on it before sending John a message. ‘What are you doing right now?’ A few

seconds later, she received a call from John, hearing his first response. “Good morning. You’re up early, by the

way.” Sophia tried to reply with a calm voice. “I went to bed a little earlier than usual last night, and I can’t seem to

fall asleep right now.” John comforted her and said, “It was midnight by the time I finished my work, so I decided to

stay in my office until the next day because I was afraid I would have woken you up if I had gone back. Don’t worry

about me. I’m fine.” Curious, Sophia asked, “So, what kept you busy last night?” In response, John hesitated and

answered, “Wow! Let’s just say it was an eventful day.” In fact, he had visited Husky when the latter was admitted

to the hospital before searching for Roselia. Despite her quick wit, John knew that Roselia must have also blown her

cover in the process of helping Husky distract the patrolling guards. Therefore, John could never stand by and do

nothing. In the end, he spent the whole night looking for her. As John began his search around where Husky was

found injured, it didn’t take him much time to discover Roselia’s whereabouts. Those amateurs made it easy for us,

so I guess I gotta thank them. While Roselia was deemed to be smarter than Husky, John believed that she would be

able to dispel all suspicions with a convincing explanation. Even though the people in the shadow bank were all

cautious and wary, they couldn’t find any evidence to prove that Roselia was a mole. Nonetheless, they didn’t really

trust her either to let her run free by herself. Therefore, they decided to keep her under their thumbs. Fortunately,

Roselia was not severely injured when John and his men arrived and found her the day before.
