The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Rumors had it that there was someone whom William used to like at the hospital now, so it was even more impossible for Matilda and William to make up. Considering Matilda’s weak character, even an average woman would do better than her. Now that there was someone else around her ex-husband, it was even more unlikely for her to be considered.

Since Isabelle wanted to persuade the Constance Family to accept herself, she naturally did not wish to offend William. Just now, she had tested John, and the man pretty much repulsed the topic regarding his mother. It’s evident that Matilda couldn’t even hold on to her son’s heart now. Therefore, she couldn’t get too close to Matilda at this critical time since William and John would be annoyed by that.

Matilda had finished talking and was waiting for Isabelle’s answer. Isabelle sighed and said, “Mrs. Constance, it’s not that I don’t wish to help you. The truth is that I don’t have many opportunities to meet up with John now. After we set him up twice previously, he’s now rather disgusted and will certainly not agree if I invite him out. Sometimes when I call or text him, he wouldn’t even respond. I don’t think I’m able to help you much.”

Matilda went so quiet on the other side of the phone that one could hear a pin drop. Isabelle then pretended to be torn and suggested, “How about this? I’ll try to text and call John whenever I can, alright? If it works, great, but if it doesn’t work, please don’t blame me.”

Matilda asked after a pause, “Don’t you and John see each other much now?”

Isabelle replied, “Yeah, our relationship has been a little tricky and controversial all along. Now that John is trying to avoid arousing suspicion, both of us have not seen each other for a long time.”

At this, Matilda laughed aloud, causing Isabelle to feel baffled. After laughing, Matilda answered, “Well, fine then. So be it. I will think of a solution myself.”

Matilda then hung up at once, after which Isabelle threw the phone onto the passenger seat beside her. Her face was cold and expressionless.

Matilda hung up, she stood still and thought for a while before chuckling. Walking out of the café with her bag, she stared at the office building of the Constance Group for a
