The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Sophia leaned back in the chair. “When I met Madam Bloom for the first time, I thought she was quite sophisticated.”

Nodding in agreement, Old Mrs. Constance uttered, “When she was younger, she was a gorgeous woman. Coupled with her good nature, she naturally had a lot of admirers.”

Sophia was a little curious. “Then why is she divorced? Her ex-husband should be in love with her, right? How could he bear to get a divorce?”

Old Mrs. Constance thought for a while. “I heard that her ex-husband cheated on her, and she caught him in the act. She’s a decisive woman, and despite the man begging her to stay, she walked away and never looked back. She was determined to go through with the divorce. They had a child, but the child was old enough, and the divorce didn’t bring much negative impact either. After that, she lived alone.”

After a long pause, Sophia nodded. “She hasn’t had an easy life either.”

Old Mrs. Constance agreed.

After sitting for a while in the garden, they saw Lady Jennifer driving back home. She seemed to know that Sophia and Matilda would be here today as she wasn’t surprised at the sight of them. Walking over to them with a smile, she greeted, “Hello, my dear sister-in-law.”
