The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 367

Admiring the countless fishes in the pond, Sophia couldn't tell what type of fish they were, but she thought they looked really pretty. As soon as they stepped into the mansion, servants had come out to greet and inform them that the four Young Mistresses had arrived. Feeling a little nervous, Sophia thought of the first time she had visited Constance Residence.

Back then, she was just an amateur, and every step taken was uneasy for her.

"Don't worry, my family won't bite. They are nice people," assured Logan as he glanced at both lan and Sophia.

With that, Sophia recalled meeting Old Mr. Jefferson and the third Young Lady, Lorraine Jefferson. Both of them were really nice.

Following Logan's lead, they stepped into the large living hall. Old Mr. Jefferson was sitting on the couch, whereas the four Young Ladies were sitting at the opposite.

When they entered, the fourth Young Lady, Lysa Jefferson, was bad-mouthing Logan, saying that his clubhouse was reported to the police again.

Hearing that, Logan reprimanded, "What are you saying? My clubhouse wasn't reported. That person was just drunk and was talking nonsense. I'm a decent businessman, so don't accuse me wrongly." Darting a glance at Logan, Lorraine scoffed, "Decent businessman?"

Standing still, Sophia and lan didn't move forward.

Noticing the both of them at the door, Lorraine rose up from her seat. "Ian, Sophia, c'mon over and have a seat. We've been expecting you."

To show hospitality, Lorraine held Sophia's hands and saw the ring on her finger. With a serene smile, she said, "I see that you still have your ring on."

Startled, both Sophia and lan gazed at Sophia's finger at the same time.

Smiling, Sophia explained, "This is not a wedding ring. It's just a ring I bought for myself."

With a smile on her face, Lorraine gently reminded, "I see. If it really was the wedding ring, the media would probably make a big scene out of it." Thinking it through, Sophia realized the underlying meaning in Lorraine's words.

Lorraine was simply reminding her about the people who were unaware of the whole situation, and might mistake it as a wedding ring on her finger. Since they had divorced, people might assume that Sophia still harbored feelings for her previous marriage.

Hence, the saying about parting ways in peace would unlikely make sense.

"My bad for not putting that into consideration," admitted Sophia as she took off the ring and placed it into her pocket, smiling.

Since it was still early, there were some fruits and snacks served on the table.

They would probably proceed to have a meal after a short chat here.

Out of courtesy, Lorraine led Sophia to take a seat on the couch.

Though Old Mr. Jefferson didn't do much, he was all smiles.

Gazing at Sophia, the first Young Lady, Lynett Jefferson, said, "You must be Logan's friend? Considering you're a friend of his, you must be very tolerant."

Dumbstruck, Sophia and lan didn't know how to react. Somehow, the Jefferson Family didn't seem very kind toward Logan.

Initially, Logan was quite excited on the way here, but now he was seen pulling a long face.

Redirecting the topic back to Sophia, Lorraine chuckled. "I've seen the news on the Internet. Don't stress yourself over it. Those are nothing much compared to all the conflicts within the entertainment world. You stay strong and chin up, OK?"

Nodding her head, Sophia did think she was mentally quite strong. "I'm fine."

"Seeing how good your appetite was, you did look like you weren't bothered. Anyhow, you're not the person they were criticizing anyway," Logan chimed in.

Darting a glare at Logan, Lorraine said, "Don't interrupt!"

Glaring back at Lorraine, Logan didn't dare to say another word.
