The Returning Ex

Chapter 300

But few people really laughed at the dining table.

After all, as everyone knew, Dylan’s marriage was another sticky matter in itself.

Had it not been for Dylan, John and Isabelle would have been together.

When John, Sophia, Isabelle and Dylan were all present at the dining table, this topic inevitably became quite awkward.

However, Sophia didn’t think much about it and just helped to take the candles off the cake. “Uncle Owen, you may cut the cake now.”

Young Master Owen didn’t feel that he had said something wrong either.

He simply cut the cake with a wide grin.

However, Dylan’s smile had vanished a long time ago, and his eyes fell on Sophia.

He was the one who rejected her, so she ended up marrying John.

Lowering her head, Young Lady Jennifer sighed silently and patted Dylan’s hand under the table.

As soon as Dylan turned the other way, he saw John gazing at him in a serious manner.

Moving his lips slightly, John could not bear to utter the question in his heart. While observing him, Dylan figured out the unspeakable question of his: Do you regret it?

For some reason, there were times when even John himself didn’t really know if he regretted it.

The conflicted feelings prompted him to recall the past. At that time, Old Mr. Constance wanted Sophia to marry into the Constance Family by becoming Dylan’s wife.

After all, John had already been already engaged to Isabelle back then. Since Dylan was still single, he naturally became the obvious choice.

However, the plan was not approved by Young Master Owen and Young Lady Jennifer for many reasons.

The main reason was Sophia’s humble family background.

At that time, Dylan hadn’t met Sophia yet. He had only heard Old Mr. Constance talk about her and knew that she was an orphan from the rural countryside who grew up with her grandfather.

Neither highly educated nor cultured, her behavior naturally could not match up to those socialites.

Perhaps her only saving grace was her good looks.

After all, Old Mr. Constance had emphasized to him over and over again that Sophia was a beautiful girl.

Nevertheless, it was insufficient to just have good looks.

Young Lady Jennifer even deliberately told him that after marrying such a girl, he might lose his footing in the Constance Family in the future.

Because John was supported by the Bailey Family, it was not worthwhile for Dylan to marry Sophia who had neither wealth nor fame.

If Old Mr. Constance was in good health, he might favor Dylan more out of guilt.

Unfortunately, Old Mr. Constance was already bedridden, and the doctor had clearly stated that he was running out of time.

Therefore, the Second Constance Family was even more reluctant to agree with the proposition for Dylan to marry Sophia.

As someone who had always listened to his parents, Dylan went to look for Old Mr. Constance and said he refused to marry Sophia, which was a decision made after talking to his mother. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Without any explanations, he only uttered five words, “I refuse to marry Sophia.”

Old Mr. Constance was probably disappointed at the time, but he didn’t blame Dylan. With a smile on his face, he said he understood the situation.

Later, nobody knew what happened to the Main Constance Family, but within two days, John broke off his engagement to Isabelle.

A few days after that, the Constance Family began to prepare for John and Sophia’s wedding.

It was a very grand wedding. Many wealthy families, regardless of whether they had business dealings with Constance Group, were invited.

It was at that magnificent wedding when Dylan met Sophia for the first time.

She was indeed a pretty lady.

But it was not enough to make him regret things.

It was just a face, and it wasn’t as if he had never seen pretty girls before.

But now when John asked him if he regretted rejecting Sophia, he hesitated for a split second.

Standing next to Young Master Owen, Sophia was grinning happily as she looked at the cake. It was a really pleasing sight to behold.

After withdrawing his gaze, Dylan stared at the dish in front of him as well.

Young Master Owen cut the cake and placed a slice on a plate, then handed it to Sophia. She then turned around and passed it to Old Mrs. Constance. “Grandma, you should eat it first.”

Pleased to see how caring she was, Old Mrs. Constance beamed and said, “Sophia, you’re such a good child.”
