The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

After hearing Yolanda’s statement, Sophia replied, “Perhaps Dad felt that it wasn’t a big deal.”

Thinking for a while, Matilda said to Yolanda, “Have a seat. Don’t just stand there.”

Yolanda smiled half-heartedly but still sat down. She looked at Old Mrs. Constance and said, “I had wanted to come and visit you, but I was unwell, so I had to delay my visit.”
