The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

After staring at Matilda for a moment, John nodded. “Sure. I can tell that you’re not in good shape. Go out for a walk then.”

In her casual clothes, Matilda gave her hair a quick fix and headed out.

Heading to the dining hall, John took the seat opposite of Sophia. “What’s the matter? Are you feeling blue?”

“Indeed. I just don’t get what your dad is thinking. He came over two days ago, and it seemed like his attitude was genuine, but today, he is nowhere to be seen. Did you see the look on your mom’s face just now? She hasn’t been herself these two days, and he is to be blamed,” Sophia complained.

Picking up the utensils, John said, “Well, it’s really up to them, and I don’t think we should intervene. Besides, they are grownups. They know very well how to handle this on their own, so don’t let it get you down.”

Remaining silent, Sophia was still not pleased.

“Do you keep in contact with Dylan?” asked John abruptly.

Surprised, Sophia asked, “Dylan? Isn’t he your brother? Why will I contact him?”

Lowering his gaze, John said, “I see.”
