The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 129

“This is all on me, not her.” John didn’t hide it, so in a way, he admitted it.

Old Mrs. Constance didn’t dwell on this. “You know what you did, so we’ll stay out of this.”

John leaned back on the sofa and sighed. He would have consoled his mother usually, but he wasn’t in the mood now. “I’ll go to Sophia’s place tomorrow. Maybe I’ll stay there after this. She dislikes it here, so we won’t be coming back.”

Old Mrs. Constance could understand that, for Matilda would just forget everything and repeat her mistakes after a while, so living under the same roof wasn’t optimal for them. She nodded. “That’s good. It’s nearer to the company, so it’s convenient for you.”

William came back a short while later. He had an appointment on this day, but his wife kept calling him to complain. So, he had no choice but to ask Owen to go in his stead, while he came back to check out the situation.

Old Mrs. Constance was speechless, so she looked at her son. “You spoiled her.”

William smiled. “I’ll take a look.”

John looked down quietly.

After that, Old Mrs. Constance lamented, “Sophia doesn’t come from a good family, and she used to be weak too. That wasn’t enough to hold up a family, but after your divorce, I think she has style.” Old Mrs. Constance thought she was like Matilda, a faker, but when she saw how Sophia glared at the servant venomously earlier, she liked Sophia more. If she came from a better family and received better education, she would be perfect.

John kept quiet all the while his grandmother talked, then he went upstairs. When he went past Sophia’s room, he went inside. The bed was messy and filled with traces of last night’s event. The glass that he put on the windowsill was still there. John closed his eyes and went to his own room. After taking a shower, he went to Matilda’s room.
