The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

There was a moment’s pause before Matilda went on, “Hasn’t that time of the year already passed?”

Sophia furrowed her brows together. “Yeah, it has passed.”

In the meantime, Matilda seemed to have calmed down a little. “The Constances had wanted to send someone over when your grandfather passed away. However, we were caught off guard by a lot of other things, as not only did your grandfather pass away, but John’s grandfather was also hospitalized. During that period, his grandfather had been spending time in and out of the emergency department as his health was declining.”

Sophia cast her a glance before saying, “I know, so I don’t blame anybody.”

Exhaling, Matilda told her, “In fact, John wanted to go to your village back then.” Instead of looking at Sophia, Matilda turned to look out into the streets. Never once did she converse with Sophia so calmly. “He was planning on paying you a visit when his grandfather got better, but it kept dragging on without stabilizing. Due to the amount of time it would cost to go to your place, John might miss out on seeing his grandfather in case his grandfather didn’t make it, so we ended up putting the plan aside.”

They ended up putting it off until now after that initial delay. Sophia kept her silence, nor did she know what to say. Meanwhile, Matilda exhaled before turning to look at Sophia. “I recall that you no longer have any relatives over there.”

There was a moment’s pause before she said, “No, they’re all dead.”
