The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Upon hearing Sophia’s reply, John nodded. “When the time comes, we’ll go and pick him up. Also, I think we should tell him about us.”

Matilda snorted to the side. Recently, she and Sophia had been singing the same tune. Before Sophia could ask, she spoke first. “About you two? What about it?”

John blinked before replying evenly, “About us living together, and about Sophia’s pregnancy. Mom, what’s wrong with you? People would think you’re my stepmother for not knowing what’s up with us.” He glanced at Matilda through the rearview mirror and added, “Have you never thought of me as your biological son?”

Finding his reply funny, Matilda didn’t hold back a laugh. “I think you’re the one who has never thought of me as your biological mother. I think that you’re nicer to even Yolanda than me.”

Stunned, John didn’t expect Matilda to think that, and in his defense, he said, “How is that possible? Why do you think so though? I don’t think I’m that nice to Yolanda.”

Matilda leaned back in her seat. “Think back to how you’ve treated me in the past. In any case, I feel that you have a better attitude when speaking to Yolanda.”

John laughed aloud. “Perhaps I spoke too harshly due to our differing opinions in the past, and perhaps that’s why you think that I’m nicer to Yolanda. Actually, that’s not the case, for I was just honest about things. Although she had her selfish intentions, the situation between you and my dad wasn’t great at that time either. My dad was truly exhausted by everything that was going on, so I was criticizing the way you handled the situation, not you.”

Listening to his explanation, Matilda sighed. “I know that I was rather dreadful before and that your dad was pretty miserable back then.” After speaking, she smiled a little awkwardly. “Your dad was too good-natured. I thought that it would be fine no matter how much fuss I kicked up. That was why I became worse.”
