The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia went back to her room, delighted. She took her phone out and scrolled through her Facebook wall. Zack commented, asking her what happened. Then, there was that singer who asked her to cheer up. She turned her phone off and lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

She didn’t know what she should do, so she killed time by simply lying on the bed.

John was busy in the afternoon. When the servant called him, he was notified of his mother’s apology toward Sophia. He could hear the sounds of crying in the background, then when he listened closely, he knew who it was. If Matilda was crying now, it could only be because of the apology.

John pretended not to hear it and hung up after saying he got it. His mother was spoiled by his father, and even Old Mrs. Constance took a step back at times. Thanks to that, she thought she was all powerful, but now Sophia proved otherwise.

Nevertheless, it wasn’t like he could do anything about it though. She had to bear the consequences of doing or saying the wrong thing, so an apology wasn’t too much.

If Old Mr. Constance was still alive, an apology wouldn’t cut it. He was an honest man who wouldn’t talk bad about anyone behind their backs. If he knew what Matilda had said, he would have flown into a rage. After hanging up, he leaned back against his chair and massaged his forehead.

He didn’t sleep well last night, so coupling that up with the business earlier, he felt drowsy. Zack came in with some documents which needed his approval, while some needed to be handed to William. After handing John the documents, he asked, “What happened between you and Sophia? I called her, and still she didn’t take it, nor did she reply to my comments.”

John didn’t want to talk about this, so he put his documents down. “Get on with your work.”

back then, so Old Mrs. Constance thought Matilda was fake when she saw her daughter-in-law crying this much over such a small matter.
