The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

William chuckled. “Her mom has a lot to worry about, doesn’t she?”

John looked at his father. “Of course she’s worried, since this is a legitimate concern. When that really happens one day, it’ll be humiliating for Mom. I think her mom has a point.”

Falling silent, William tucked his hands into his pockets and looked into the distance.

After a pause, John asked, “Did Aunt Yolanda contact you recently?”

Startled for a moment, William grunted. “She did call me, but it was nothing important. We simply had a chat. She said that she was bored being alone.”

Initially, William didn’t pick up her call, as he found it awkward. Since Yolanda still had feelings for him, he decided that he should reject her in a steadfast manner. If he kept giving her hope, it would do no good for the both of them.

Later, however, Yolanda sent him a message to say that she didn’t have any friends at her place to have a chat. So, she just wanted to talk to him, and it was not because she still had feelings for him. She said that she didn’t like to pester. Since William had made himself clear, she knew what she should do.
