The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Matilda sat down across from Sophia. On the other hand, John sat beside Sophia while putting food into her bowl. “You should eat up since you haven’t been eating a lot.”

Although John wasn’t a superb cook, the dishes he made were alright, so it was still an acceptable meal if one wasn’t a picky eater. Observing John and Sophia after taking a bite out of her meal, Matilda suddenly felt like being sent back in time.

The atmosphere around them was similar to when the Constances used to have a meal together. After giving it some thought, she told John, “I heard that Yolanda was discharged.” Yolanda was the woman who took care of William.

John hummed in response. “But due to her multiple injuries, she will have to take some time off to recuperate even after that.”

With her lips pulled into a thin line, Matilda said, “Since your father is such a yes man, I bet he would go take care of her.”

John was smiling when he replied, “I am unsure as to how things went, but Yolanda had a maid by her side, so my father didn’t really need to do anything.”

During the rest of the mealtime, Matilda couldn’t help but sulk. After they were finished, John went to do the dishes, while Sophia left for the sofa. Matilda didn’t seem to be in a hurry to leave, as she looked toward Sophia after hanging around and scanning the living room. “Are you having a good time in the house that my son bought you?”

Despite her pointed question, Sophia wasn’t in the mood to bicker, so she gave Matilda a hum. “Yeah, I am.”

Matilda shut up when she realized she could never gain the upper hand against Sophia. Meanwhile, Sophia was still watching cartoons, as her interest was piqued after watching it for some time.
