The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 272

John had thought about the issue of divorce too, but he responded, "It's not time yet. The Infinity Group incident is still recent. If we announce our divorce now, people will connect the two, so let's give it some time."

William opined, "I'm not asking you to announce it right now, but I am simply reminding you that you need to have a plan. It might not matter to you because you're a man, but Sophia is a woman. Therefore, he youth is very precious. You shouldn't delay her time because she has her life to live. If your grandpa was still alive, he would have..."

At that moment, William was overcome with emotions and stopped talking. Had John's grandfather been around, things would not have ended this way.

John frowned a little because he had an aversion to this topic. "Alright. I know what to do. Don't worry, for I'll be considerate toward Sophia. After all, I have promised Grandpa to protect her to the best of my ability."

William nodded slowly. "It's good as long as you have a plan." He stood up and said, "Enjoy your lunch. I'm not going to bother you any longer."

John grunted a reply and watched as William left his office. Letting out a sigh, he stared at the dishes on his table.

It was true that Infinity Group had nothing left to stir up trouble. However, Miss Cox was still a little disgruntled about the situation.

Two days ago, she went to the media and claimed that she would be exposing something not known to the public before. In the end, she rambled throughout the interview and provided conflicting statements. After the news was out, all media outlets started to suspect the veracity of her previous statements.

John continued to eat in silence. If this incident was truly done and dusted, it would be high time for him to consider how best to announce his divorce from Sophia.

However, he also recalled his promise to Sophia that when the Infinity Group incident was settled, he would listen to her opinion on the divorce announcement. Therefore, he should head home and discuss this with her.

The thought of having a discussion with Sophia made him feel uneasy, but he could not pinpoint the source of his discomfort.

He took another few mouthfuls of food, and his phone buzzed on the table.

Isabelle had sent him a text via WhatsApp with a form attached. It was a form for stock arrangement after they officially started the collaboration.

Two seconds after that, Isabelle followed up with a text. 'Have you eaten lunch?'

He stared at the text for a while before replying, 'I'm eating now.'

She sent him a smiling emoji and said that she was eating lunch too. Since she was eating alone, she wanted it to be a simple meal and had ordered food delivery to her company.

This time, John did not reply to her. He merely took a look at the form before clicking out from WhatsApp.

He continued to stare at the interface for a while. After some thought, he went to check his Facebook. He didn't really like to check it because he usually would not upload any life updates.

He was not interested in what everyone else's day looked like. However, he probably was bored out of his mind because he was now scrolling through Facebook.

John didn't have a lot of contacts on the site. The relationships with most business partners were mostly handled by Zack. Therefore, his contact list was very limited.

Scrolling down, he immediately saw Isabelle's post with a photo of her takeout for lunch.

Like what she said, she was in her office and had ordered a delicious spread. Aside from the food photo, she uploaded another selfie in which she was holding a pair of disposable cutlery and smiling at the

camera.

John took a quick look before scrolling down. Soon, he saw Logan's post that was uploaded very recently.

It was a post of his Chinese lunch, which was more sumptuous compared to Isabelle's. Logan did not show the faces of his lunch buddies, but he wrote that he was having lunch with two good friends in the caption.

Two good friends...
