The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 59

Zack had rented a car. Bringing John and Sophia with him, he headed to the Edge of the World.

It was a road Sophia was familiar with.

Throughout the entire journey, neither she nor John said a word. She was simply not fully awake yet

while he was innately a man of little words. Although Zack tried to mediate the tension between them,

he found his efforts to be in vain. So, he gave up.

As they had left the hotel relatively late, a lot of people were already at the scenic location by the time

they arrived. Upon arriving, Zack went to buy their entry tickets. He was rather well-prepared, handing

John and Sophia each a cap.

It was getting hot as the sun slowly began to blaze brightly above their heads.

While Sophia and John stood where they were and waited for Zack, they remained quiet. Frankly

speaking, most of the time they spent together in the past had been spent in silence too. Therefore, the

silence didn’t feel awkward.

Most of the visitors visiting this tourist spot were couples. Hence, everybody seemed to be walking

about with their arm around their partner, chatting and laughing away.

As Sophia watched the couples passing by, her expression unknowingly became envious. Perhaps, it

was because the contrast between those couples and her situation was like night and day.

On the other hand, John didn’t seem to be the least bit affected. He was looking in Zack’s direction with

a somewhat impatient expression.

She continued watching the couples around her as they either went to buy their entry tickets or enter

the tourist spot. At the same time, she pressed her lips together.

After a while, Zack returned with the tickets, and they entered the tourist area. However, they didn’t

head directly toward the two rocks the Edge of the World was famous for.

Instead, they walked about inside and looked around the mall.

Pointing at the Star of the Edge of the World located in the middle of the mall, Zack said, “Oh, hey! why

don’t the two of you take a picture with that! It’ll look so good!”

However, John and Sophia simultaneously looked at him with an unhappy expression.

He had already taken his camera out. Taking one look at their faces, he sadly put the camera away

again.

Sophia had been here previously. Therefore, she had already seen the sights. Moreover, Trevor had

given her a great tour of the place at the time. Back then, Trevor kept trying to take pictures with her,

and Zack had helped her reject his advances.

Sophia had no interest in taking pictures with a stranger; it made her feel rather strange. Still, being

with John this time around didn’t make her feel like taking pictures either. Mainly, it was because she

could tell that John was unwilling to do so.

After the three of them walked about inside for a while, John couldn’t stand it anymore. “Didn’t you say

we were supposed to go to the Edge of the World? Let’s hurry up and go then. Once noon rolls around,

the sunlight will be too brutal. It will be unbearable.”

Zack glanced at Sophia and stammered slightly, “Okay, sure. Why don’t we head over there?”

Sophia didn’t care; she wasn’t enthusiastic about the trip anyway.

To be honest, she was a little astonished. In the past, she used to dream about going on a vacation

with John and having fun together. Now, that dream was fulfilled. Unfortunately, she no longer felt any

joy in it.

Perhaps I’ve been waiting for so long that I no longer have any expectations.

Afterward, the three of them headed to the Edge of the World. There were other rocks located around

the area too, and many people were taking photos with them. The last time Sophia came, she had

taken pictures there too, but compared to the mood she had then, her current mood was worse.

John scowled as he stared at the two rocks. It was surrounded by a lot of people. Then, he stood with

his arms crossed before his chest, refusing to go over.

Thus, Zack waited for their turn. When he saw the people taking photos finishing up and walking away,

he hurriedly pushed Sophia forward. “Hurry, hurry! I’ll take your picture for you.”

Sophia didn’t shy away. Instead, she walked over without hesitation.

Zack held the camera up and made several poses before clicking his tongue, saying, “It’s too empty.

The sides are too empty! Hey, boss! Will you stand over to this side? I’ll take a look.”

How could John not know what Zack was up to? Considering it briefly, he decided to go over to stand

with Sophia on both sides of the rocks.

Then, Zack brightened up happily and took several photos of them in that pose. After that, he said to

both of them, “Give me a smile! Why are you making such gloomy expressions?”

Thus, Sophia gave a half-hearted smile.

John wasn’t the type to smile. So, he simply looked at Zack. “Hurry up and get it on with. A lot of people

are waiting.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
