The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 477

Old Mrs. Constance told him, "A few days ago, your Aunt Jennifer went for a tarot card reading for Dylan for romance. The result wasn't good and she lost her appetite for two meals after she returned." John knitted his brows. "Card readings are not accurate. You can't believe in that."

The old lady stared at him. "To be honest, the reason I wanted you to go to the monastery with me is to get a card reading as well. I wanted to see how's the reading for your romance."

"If that's the case, I definitely won't go." John smiled. "If I ended up like Dylan, I might stop eating for two days when I get home."

She laughed jovially. "Oh, it's hard to tell that you care about these superstitions. I thought that you wouldn't care no matter how the reading turns out."

Well, it was true that John couldn't care less about the predictions from the card reading. However, any predictions of bad luck would more or less affect his mood. Old Mrs. Constance mulled over it and sighed. "John, when will you finally understand your true feelings?"

He froze in the middle of eating and fell silent at his grandmother's remark.

After dinner, he went to the open space in front of the main building, where he lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth. Soon, his staff sent him a text, notifying him that lan went to meet Sophia.

He smirked and replied with an order to keep an eye on how long lan spent at Sophia's place. If lan was still there late at night, he demanded to be notified. His staff got the order and went ahead.

On the other side, lan had been lingering in front of Sophia's door before entering her house. As Sophia was busy in the kitchen, she totally did not notice that someone had reached her place. So, when lan called her from the living room, she jumped, feeling startled.

She came out of the kitchen to greet him and beamed. "I heard that you were in a discussion about the talent show with Miss Lorraine today. How was it? Are the details finalized?"

Judging by her demeanor, she must have been clueless about the incident last night. Ian stored away his complicated emotions and replied, "Yep. They wanted to monitor the audience feedback for the first episode before they decide my order of appearance."

Sophia nodded. "Miss Lorraine must have made a reasonable decision. Hope that you'll shoot to fame then."

lan wanted to smile, but he could not force himself to. Instead, he stared right into Sophia's eyes. "You've had a lot to drink last night. Are you still feeling sick now?"

The mention of her drinking reminded her of it. "I drank too much last night, so I can't remember anything that happened later. Did you drop by last night to return my phone?"

He answered, "Yes. John was here when I dropped by."

She nodded. "I heard that it was him who sent me home. Well, John at least still acts like a human with a conscience sometimes."

lan recalled that when John came downstairs last night, he obviously just came out from shower. Why would John take a shower upstairs without any reason? Something must have happened between him and Sophia.

Pursing his lips in bitterness, lan hesitated for some time before asking Sophia, "Do you remember anything after you came home with John?"

She went to the sofa and took a seat with her legs crossed. "I really had too much to drink last night and I lost consciousness the moment I left the room at the bar. I don't even know if I made a scene there. It is so frustrating!"

lan smiled bitterly. Looks like she doesn't even know that she had been taken advantage of by John.

There was another matter lan wanted to inform Sophia about during this visit. He told her that he'd be in intensive training sessions soon. Lorraine got him a vocal coach and a fitness instructor to provide lessons in early preparation for the talent show.

At the news, Sophia appeared to be more excited than him. "Great! It's good to have early preparations. That will help you achieve a better standing at the talent show!"

She didn't sound reluctant at all to see him start the training. It was funny because the first thing lan thought about was her when he was informed of the intensive training period, which was the reason behind his long hesitation. In response, he chuckled softly. "Yeah, you think so?"
