The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia sneered. “I don’t have a mother. My mother died a long time ago. In this world, I don’t have any relatives. Not even one. They’re all dead.”

The woman on the other side seemed to be affected by the word ‘dead’. In a cold voice, she replied, “Great, just great. Since you’re acting this way, then don’t blame us for what’s to come.”

Look, doesn’t this sound much better than before? Why are you putting on an act anyway? Isn’t it good to be true to yourself?

Sophia hung up the phone. Then, she simply stood there trying to recollect her emotions. Otherwise, the others would know that something was wrong with her as soon as she entered the house.

Thus, Sophia stood there for a long while. Before she could recover her wits completely, someone placed a hand on her shoulder.

Matilda was standing behind her. Her voice was low and gentle as she asked, “What’s the matter? Who called you? Is it someone you don’t like?”

Sophia looked back at Matilda, pursing her lips. “Yeah. It’s someone I don’t like.”

Matilda glanced at Sophia. “If there’s any trouble, just tell us. We’re here for you.”

Shaking her head, Sophia then said, “It’s not a big deal.”

Matilda sighed. “Well, you’ve always had a mind of your own. You should know how to handle it best, so I won’t press you anymore.”

The two stood there for a while before returning to the living room.
