The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

William wrapped his fingers around his phone tightly and probingly asked, “So, are you and Richard really…?”

Even without William saying the last few words, Matilda knew what he was trying to ask. So, she let out a sigh and said, “There is nothing complicated between me and Richard. We’re just friends at the moment.”

As her answer turned out to be the same as his hunch had been telling him, he replied, “I’m glad to hear that.” Despite his brief reply, those few words meant a lot to Matilda. Hearing no response from the lady, William added, “I think you and I have both changed a lot lately.”

William’s words filled Matilda’s mind with a billion question marks. What’s he trying to say? Soon, William continued to say, “I didn’t handle it well in sustaining a healthy marriage life, so I guess I was also responsible for our separation back then.”

Matilda only responded with an affirmative hum, not knowing what else to reply to William’s words. Since when has this guy learned how to sweet-talk his way out? The man’s sincere confession made Matilda’s face blush in bashfulness. Shortly after that, William took a deep breath and suggested a plan, “Maybe I should pay a visit to the Flintstone Residence someday.” While Matilda was caught in a trance upon hearing that, William asked, “What about tomorrow? Would it be okay for me to visit in the evening?”

Matilda was tongue-tied as her mind frantically searched for the right answer to reply. Gosh! I didn’t expect him to tell me that he’ll be coming. What am I supposed to say? What’s the meaning of this? Before Matilda could respond, William said, “I’ll take that as a yes. See you tomorrow evening.” After finishing his sentence, he took a look at the time and concluded their conversation, “It’s about time now. I need to get going for work. Bye!”

When it came to the afternoon, John drove away from his office to meet a partner for a discussion regarding some procurement details. Although the rendezvous wasn’t too far away from the Constance Group, John was caught in the middle of a heavy jam somewhere near the junction with a traffic light due to a terrible car accident. As a result, the traffic was paralyzed, and all the cars
