The Returning Ex

Chapter 307

Old Mrs. Constance was resting whereas Mrs. Constance had obviously wanted to be alone after her pride was hurt. Therefore, Isabelle stood up and excused herself. Since Isabelle wasn’t here anymore, Sophia suddenly felt bored so she bid goodbye to them too. In fact, John didn’t want to stay here any longer as well because there was nothing much to do besides having dinner.

These people were not lively and relaxed at all so the dinner would be extremely oppressing. Therefore, John didn’t say anything and led Sophia to bid farewell with Old Mrs. Constance. Meanwhile, Isabelle went to say goodbye to Mrs. Constance. The woman was in her room, obviously having cried because her eyes were red. She was even choking with tears when she spoke.

Isabelle was speechless when she saw Mrs. Constance’s state. As the madam of a family, how could she not know what was appropriate or inappropriate to say during the meal? Even if she was embarrassed, she shouldn’t have responded this way. How embarrassing it was to sob and wail.

After inviting Isabelle into her room, Mrs. Constance asked angrily, “Has Sophia left?”

Although Isabelle looked down on Mrs. Constance, she remained composed on the outside. “She’s leaving too and she’s saying goodbye to grandma.”

Mrs. Constance pouted her lips. “What’s the point of her acting kind in front of grandma?” Could that change the fact that she was divorced?

Isabelle didn’t want to say much and truly felt that it was a bad choice to come today. After that, she excused herself, saying there were matters to attend to at home. Mrs. Constance didn’t ask her to stay either. “Alright, you may go home. It’s my fault for not planning it well.”

Mrs. Constance indeed felt sorry for her. Not only did she embarrass herself, she also made Isabelle feel awkward. Despite her own thoughts, Isabelle had always put on a perfect mask. She even smiled and said, “It’s okay; it’s not a big deal.”

Mrs. Constance came over and held onto Isabelle’s hand. “Don’t worry. You’re the only daughter-in-law that I will acknowledge.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Isabelle only smiled. They then made their way downstairs, only to find that Sophia and John had left. A butler was standing at the side, informing them that he had arranged a car for Isabelle.

Isabelle smiled and nodded. “Thank you.” Leaving Constance Residence, she leaned against the seat and let out a long sigh. Knowing that the driver was focusing on the road and wouldn’t pay attention to her, Isabelle finally let her mask drop to reveal her impatience. Her eyes were gloomy and her mood had completely changed from before.

Sophia truly had her guard up against her and even left without saying anything. How childish of her. After all, the Bailey Family and the Constance Family had collaborations in business so no one could stop her from being in contact with John. All at once, Isabelle’s eyes became icy with contempt.

Meanwhile, Sophia was becoming sleepy while she leaned against the seat. Yawning, she closed her eyes. As they reached a traffic light, John slowly stopped the car and turned to look at Sophia. She was dozing off, her head tilting to the side and making her look vulnerable.

He was lost in thought while looking at her. When the traffic light turned green and honks suddenly rang from the cars behind, only did he come back to his senses and continued to drive. The whole way back, Sophia didn’t wake up.

After stopping the car in the yard, John got down from the car. However, he didn’t go into the house and just stood there smoking a cigarette. Meanwhile, Sophia jolted awake as she turned her head. She squinted and looked around, realizing that she was in John’s car. She then got down and walked into the house while rubbing her eyes. As she passed John by, she didn’t even spare him a glance.
