The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 473

Sophia racked her brains, but she still could not understand what happened last night, so she ended her call with the clueless Logan. Then, she had a simple breakfast and went out to water her flowers, which was when she instantly noticed the shattered phone in her garden.

She went over and picked it up, only to recognize that it was lan's phone; even the SIM card was still in there. It was no wonder he was unreachable.

Things started piecing together in her mind. She clutched the shattered phone and thought about it for some time before making a call to John at last. Unexpectedly, her first call was not picked up. Huh, he's really something.

Feeling persistent, she made another call to him, which was finally picked up. John intentionally lowered his volume as he said, "I'm busy right now. Talk to you later."

She followed suit and lowered her volume as well. "Did you send me home last night?"

John went silent on the other side and she could vaguely hear someone else talking in the background. He must be in a meeting. Thus, she closed her eyes and said to him, "Alright. I'll talk to you when you're free."

Then, she hung up on him and wandered over to sit on the sofa, where she started spacing out. Since the SIM card was still in the phone, she felt that she should return it to lan.

Despite having waited for quite a while, Sophia did not receive any callback from John, so she gave it some thought and took a cab to Logan's place. Right now, lan was not staying with the Morgans. Sometimes, he would stay over at Logan's clubhouse.

When she arrived, Logan was still in bed. A waiter went in to wake him up, after which he walked out barefooted in his pajamas. “What is it? Why are you here so early in the morning?"

She immediately asked him if he knew where lan was. While she spoke, she took out the SIM card and told him that lan had dropped it at her door. Logan was astonished. "Ian dropped it at your door? Where's the phone?"

She sighed at the thought of the poor phone. "The phone is shattered."

Logan ruffled his hair, looking puzzled. "Was lan that drunk last night? I'm unsure where he stayed the night though. Last night, I headed back here right after the night at the bar. How about this? I'll have someone go search for him later. He should be safe."

Sophia was not at all worried about lan's safety, for he had been living elsewhere on his own for years without an issue. Now that he was back to his hometown, which should be his own territory, nothing much would happen to him.

Based on Logan's expression, he must have had no idea about last night's events, so she decided to give up on asking him. Not wasting her time at the clubhouse, she left lan's SIM card with Logan and headed to the store, where she saw Robin busy at work.

She went up to Robin. "What time did you all leave last night?"

As Robin did not have much to drink last night, her memory was sharp. "Around ten? Then, we noticed that you went missing, so we went out to search for you. We didn't have much fun after that." Sophia still could not recall what happened after she had gone to the washroom. Then, Robin added, "The waiter told us that John brought you away. Ian instantly rushed out after hearing that. Man, he shocked me! If we didn't know, we would have thought that something bad had happened."

Sophia chuckled weakly. "I guess he was scared that John would beat me up when I was unconscious."

After all, lan was a witness to the fight that almost happened between John and her. She spent some time working with Robin. Soon, she received a call from John, informing her that he was at her place now. She was taken aback by his sudden move. "Why did you head over? Just call me back. What's the point of going to my place?"

John laughed and ignored her questions. "Where are you now? Just come home. I'm in front of the gate."

Sophia checked the time and it happened to be lunch break.

To be honest, she didn't feel like meeting with John because she thought that they had cleared things up at their last meeting. On top of that, she had vivid memories of her clash with him, which would irk her for some time whenever she recalled that.

However, John did send her home last night, which made her feel a little indebted. Thus, she gave it some consideration and agreed with him. Hanging up, she then notified Robin and went out to hail a cab home.
