The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Matilda spent a while calming down before she walked out of her room. When she reached downstairs, Ms. Cannon told her Sophia had gone upstairs joyfully to sleep. Matilda had to say that Sophia was superhumanly calm. She didn’t seem to have a care about anything in the world, but that was why Matilda could relax. After that, she asked Ms. Cannon what she’d be making for dinner before going to the yard, and she remained there until John was back.

John drove into the yard and came out smiling. “Why the long face? If I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re fighting with Sophia again.”

Hearing this, Matilda let out a laugh. “She’s pregnant. Even if I want to, it’ll be after she goes into labor.”

John came and wrapped his arm around his mother’s shoulder, then they went inside. “Dad asked why I was in a hurry when I clocked out, so I told him you’re feeling unwell. I think he’ll come over later.”

Matilda sighed. “I can never win, can I?”
