The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Nobody heard what Matilda told Sophia earlier, but Old Mrs. Constance asked her after that. Matilda might be a flawed person, but at least she was honest. Even though she knew she made a mistake, Matilda repeated what she told Sophia in all detail. Old Mrs. Constance almost flung her tea set away in her fury.

As she pointed at Matilda angrily, she was unable to say anything out of her anger. She grew up in a famous family, and she was a cultured person, so smears like these were sanctimonious to her, for no well-educated person would say that. She told John about this, and John thought this was too much too.

John nodded. “Of course. I’ll tell my mother about it. I regret what she said to you.”

Sophia snorted. “Sure. I’ll wait until your mother apologizes to me.”

John looked at her and apologized in the end. Leaning back on the sofa, Sophia looked away from him, but then she teared up. “John, I endured every suffering possible when I was married to you, but I said nothing about it.” John stiffened up, but he couldn’t say anything.

After he had left, she cleaned up the table and went to the kitchen. When the dishes were done, she sat cross-legged on the yoga mat and looked outside. The weather was nice, so she thought it would be a good day. Sophia won this little battle, but for some reason, she felt hollow.

Back at the residence, after Old Mrs. Constance listened to John’s explanation, she calmed down. Matilda’s eyes were red, obviously from her crying earlier.

Then, Old Mrs. Constance put her phone down and looked at Matilda, who seemed to be at her wits’ end as she looked back at Old Mrs. Constance. The latter heaved a sigh of relief. “Sophia agreed not to take this further.”

Matilda was surprised, but she relaxed too. “Really? That’s great.”
