The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Stunned, Matilda quickly explained, “No, of course not. It’s just that it’s dangerous to drive at night, so if you go home now, you’ll reach there earlier.”

William withdrew his gaze and looked down at his phone. “It’s late now anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether I go back sooner or later.”

Matilda stared at William, feeling inexplicable oddness in her heart. William used to be different. In the past, no matter what she said, he seemed to be too lazy to argue with her. He simply agreed and carried out her bidding at once. So it was uncommon for him to act like this.

Matilda didn’t know what to say, so she leaned against the headrest and waited for time to pass. On the other hand, William checked his inbox and read his mail. After a while, he felt uncomfortable sitting like that, so he turned and leaned against the headrest just like Matilda.

The two of them each occupied half of the bed and sat there quietly. In fact, it was not dissimilar to the past. As a middle-aged couple, there wasn’t much to say. In the past, they were like this at night too. Matilda was usually the one who complained and nagged, and after she finished, silence would descend upon the room.

The two of them sat on the bed checking their phones respectively without a word. However, Matilda felt extremely uncomfortable now.
