The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

When John was about to explain, Matilda said, “Yes, I used to dislike her. Her family can’t help you in your career, and Isabelle looks so smart, and her family’s great. If she marries you, your life would be easier, or so I thought. I admit I changed in the first place because of her pregnancy, but the more I talk to her, the more I think she’s a nice lady.

I thought she was clinging onto you because of money, but now I know you’re clinging onto her. Yes, her temper’s a problem, but she’s not evil, nor does she scheme or trick anyone. Aside from her background, there’s nothing wrong with her. And well, the rest is history.”

Relieved, John nodded. “It’s great that you two can get along. Makes my life easier.”

Matilda snorted. “Don’t let your guard down. I won’t be too sure if your life will be easier.” Then she waved him down. “You do your stuff. I’ll be going up now.”

Before Matilda went up, John asked, “I’ll be going to the residence tonight, so I might be seeing Dad. Do you have anything you want me to tell him?”

Matilda paused, then she looked back. “Nope. Nothing at all.” She smiled. “I’ve thought about it, and really, I shouldn’t be forcing this relationship. I should be living my life first.”

It was hard, but eventually Matilda got over it. She used to be someone who’d obsess over every little thing, and after her divorce with William, she had been living her life numbly. However, after getting along with Sophia and observing how boldly she led her life, her eyes were open to new vistas previously vague to her.
