The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Pointing at the crazy Matilda in the video, Sophia advised her friend, “Gosh, look at this. When you are looking into getting married in the future, you must steer clear of any mother-in-law like her. No matter how much you love the man, you cannot marry him. Do you know how difficult she is? A naive rabbit like you would be hunted and chewed down to bones the first day of your marriage.”

Robin stared at the video for a while and asked Sophia, “When you first married John, didn’t you learn about his family?”

Sophia clicked her tongue and answered, “No. I didn’t know better back then.”

Also, Old Mr. Constance treated her very nicely, and everyone dared not show their true faces in front of the patriarch, causing her to mistake the friendliness as acceptance.

At the start of the trouble, she was in a daze as well. When Old Mr. Constance was gone, and she was left alone, she desperately needed a family member on her side.

She fell right into a huge family like the Constances, and she wanted to be part of them, but she later realized that they didn’t want her to be a part of the family. It was a misunderstanding that cost her precious time.

Robin took a seat and rested her chin on her hands. “Did John treat you well?”

Did John treat me well? That was hard to say because there were instances when he treated her nicely and vice versa. After giving it some thought, she decided to go with an answer, saying, “I guess… he treated me pretty okay.”

Robin broke into a smile. “Look, even when his mother hated you, he still treated you nicely. He sounds like a decent man.”
