The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 355

However, as John held the fork and knife in hand, he didn’t start eating even after a long time had passed. Old Mrs. Constance wasn’t used to the food, so she had the kitchen prepare some porridge. Meanwhile, William had steak and salad as well since such food with a fixed quantity made for both a simple and nutritious meal.

At times, their interests and preferences coincided since they were both people who disliked going to any trouble. After looking at the food for a long while, John put down his fork and knife.

Beside him, Old Mrs. Constance was startled. Looking at him, she said, “What’s wrong, John? Do you not have an appetite? Even if you’ve got no appetite now, you’ve still got to eat some.”

John chuckled. “No, I just want to go upstairs and take a shower. I’m really rather tired today, so just have the kitchen cook some noodles for me and bring it up later.”

Old Mrs. Constance scrutinized him for a long while before she finally nodded. “Alright. Go on up. I’ll have the kitchen prepare some noodles right away.”

Getting to his feet, John inclined his head at William before turning and leaving the dining room.

After he’d left, Old Mrs. Constance sighed. “I’m warning you to just ignore Matilda if she calls and asks you to pick her up. Don’t bother with her. I’m truly growing increasingly irate the more I turn this matter over in my mind.”

William nodded. “Got it. Actually, I saw her today, and she didn’t mention coming back.”

“You’ve seen her?” Old Mrs. Constance shot him a glare. “You went over to the Flintstone Residence?”

After hesitating for a while, William told her about Matilda having been beaten up by Sophia earlier. He didn’t know how the entire event unfolded, so he merely described how pathetic Matilda looked when he saw her. All at once, Old Mrs. Constance cackled. “She’s been beaten again, huh? Serves her right! I wonder whether the lesson this time will stick.”
