The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 746

Sophia looked up at him. “How do you know about that?”

John froze. “Um, I asked Lorraine.”

Sophia glanced at him from the corner of her eye, meaningfully. “Is that so?”

John nodded earnestly. “Yeah. How else should I know about it?”

William looked at him. “Our company just—”

“Dig in, Dad. You don’t want to have the food cold,” John quickly said.

William then realized what John was getting at, so he said nothing else and dug in.

Matilda put her knife and fork down. “You guys carry on. I’m done.” Then she left the dining room.

William looked up at Matilda. “Your mom is still unwell?” he asked John.

However, Sophia answered, “Yeah. She said she has difficulty breathing, and her chest feels stuffy. I wonder why.”

John looked at her, his eyes smiling. He never knew Sophia was this smart. When they were done with dinner, he held her hand and went out for a walk, leaving Matilda and William in the house. Before they left, she looked back and thought, Hey, this is my house. Why do I get the feeling someone else is going to stay in it?
