The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Matilda’s sobbing ceased, but after a moment’s contemplation, she continued crying. Closing his eyes for a moment, William chided, “Stop crying. What’s the use of crying?” He emphasized every single word as he spoke. His voice was mild, but one could hear that he was a tad livid. Knowing that he was still peeved about the incident back then, Matilda blinked and slowly stopped weeping.

Again, John asked, “Why did you come here?”

Sniffling, Matilda replied, “I was just thinking that those rumors on the Internet are affecting you badly, so I came over to ask for her help in issuing a statement to clarify things. Then, the matter will be resolved.”

William is too nice to her, and her status as the most senior Mrs. Constance inhibited her sisters-in-law from confronting her head-on. Meanwhile, Belinda, the matriarch of the Constance Family, has always been an easy-going person, thus closing a blind eye to things that aren’t too serious. When no one reprimands her and she doesn’t need to think for herself, her brain isn’t much use to her. Naturally, she then doesn’t use it anymore. Everyone shoulders some blame in this. Who asked them to indulge her so much in the past? Now, they’ve got to bear the
