The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Matilda didn’t think that before, but when William picked up the call just now, she suddenly marveled at Yolanda’s drive and purposefulness. Such a woman could probably get whatever she wants, right? It’s just that she wants William now…

Sophia turned around and looked at Matilda. “It’s okay, don’t worry. We’re all here for you, and we’ll be able to take her down.”

Matilda was amused by her words. “You’re talking like it’s a war and not a matter of the heart.”

Finding it funny, Sophia chuckled. “Well, even matters of the heart require proper strategies and plans to succeed. You’re in an excellent position right now, so there’s nothing for you to be afraid of. She’s the one who should be afraid. If you become nervous now, you’ll be giving her a chance to attack.”

Matilda thought for a while, then vaguely nodded. “Okay, I got it.”

John and William chatted for a short while downstairs before the latter left. He did not bid goodbye to Matilda but simply drove off instead.

Standing at the window, Sophia almost cursed him out loud. This wooden-headed guy really doesn’t understand anything about relationships, does he? He’s at such an old age now, yet he’s still so obtuse. Just thinking of the two of them makes me worried sick.
