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.”
