The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Standing at the kitchen doorway, Matilda glanced at her, gave her a thumbs-up, and disappeared into the dining room with the dinner. Sophia blinked and turned back to John, who was gazing at her intently. Suddenly, her heart began to pound violently, and she took a deep breath. “There’s something I want to tell you, but I don’t know where to begin.”

John nodded. “Just tell me. There’s nothing which can’t be said between us.”

Despite that, she blinked blankly at him, unsure of how to bring up the topic as he stared at her, feeling as though he knew what was coming up next.

Seeing that she was quiet, he suggested, “Alright, then. I’ll ask the questions, and you’ll just answer yes or no.”

Immediately, she bobbed her head in agreement. “Okay, you can ask me.”

Lowering his eyes to her belly, he asked, “Previously when you were feeling unwell, it wasn’t because of gastric, was it?”

“Yeah,” she answered with a guilty conscience. “It wasn’t because of gastric.”

As he stared at her, she lost the guts to look at him, and he breathed deeply. “Did your menstrual stop for a long time?”
