The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

This topic was slightly sensitive, so John and Mrs. Constance kept their silence. Old Mrs. Constance and Old Mr. Constance had managed to stay together since they were young up until now. The relationship that they had wasn’t something that could be defined with a few words.

Old Mrs. Constance had been calm ever since Old Mr. Constance’s passing. Until now, she had never shown any ounce of sadness. However, it didn’t mean that the feelings weren’t there.

They all fell in silence after that. John didn’t feel like eating anymore after taking a few bites. Although the steak was done just right, he had already lost his appetite. There wasn’t really any difference between eating this and eating some snacks, for it didn’t feel like a proper meal anymore.

When John placed his cutleries down, Mrs. Constance got confused. “What’s wrong? You don’t like it?”

John wiped his mouth with a napkin. “No. I’m just not that hungry as I ate a lot for lunch at the company.”

Mrs. Constance didn’t think too much about it and got the maid to clean up the table. The trio continued sitting at the dining room while Old Mrs. Constance inquired whether John got along well with Sophia. Right after she finished, Mrs. Constance lowered her voice and said, “They’re divorced anyway. Getting along for a show should be enough. They won’t be together in the future after all, so it really doesn’t matter whether they get along well.”

Old Mrs. Constance gave Mrs. Constance a look, for she didn’t quite agree with what had been said. “Don’t butt in too much in John’s private matters. Also, I’m warning you, you’d better behave during Owen’s birthday. I don’t want you to bring outsiders over and make the situation awkward.”

“What do you mean outsiders? If I were to invite anyone, they would be close to us!” Mrs. Constance couldn’t help but falter. As expected, a heads up from Old Mrs. Constance was required.

Constance’s facial expression didn’t look good. “I don’t care whether we’re close. This is our
