Considering that Yolanda had made up her mind and made it all the way here, Matilda wasn’t confident in herself at all now that she had to go against the other woman.
Standing at the yard outside, Matilda gazed into the house, wherein John and Sophia were watching television in the living room. Sophia was seen roaring with laughter, and she sounded even louder than the television, while John gazed gently at Sophia with a warm smile on his face.
At that sight, Matilda stopped abruptly and took in this scene.
If she had treated Sophia better, Sophia and John would probably still end up like this. Also, William and herself might not have ended up divorced, and obviously, there wouldn’t be anyone else who would compete against her for William.
A while later, Matilda entered the house and looked at the both of them. “It’s late. Aren’t you both going upstairs to rest?”
The moment Sophia saw that Matilda was back, she immediately turned toward her. “Where were you? We thought of going out to look for you.”
Shrugging, Matilda said, “Nowhere. I was just walking about. The streets get quite busy during the night. ”
Hearing that, Sophia looked out the window, but obviously, she didn’t see anything special.
With a grunt, Sophia stood up. “Anyway, those don’t interest me. Besides, I’m not a fan of crowded places, so I’m better off staying at home.”
“Once this is settled, you can go out as you please,” John said as he rose up from his seat too.
As a matter of fact, Sophia really meant it when she said she wasn’t particularly interested in anything. Based on her current mood, she would rather laze the day away.
Tapping lightly on her shoulders, John told her, “It’s late. Let’s go upstairs.”
Turning toward Matilda, Sophia said, “You’d better rest early too, and take care of yourself. Don’t think of anything unnecessary.”
Hearing that, Matilda smiled. “Alright. Hurry up and get some sleep.”
Humming a little tune, Sophia went upstairs.
Sitting down at the couch, Matilda couldn’t help but think of the way Sophia nagged her just now, which made her look very much like a real mother.
Frankly, this lady was a good person overall. In fact, Sophia was way better than she thought—outspoken, kind-hearted, and even had a sense of propriety.
Leaning against the chair, Matilda took in a deep breath.
Fabian, that rascal! Did he actually inform Old Mrs. Blackwell about it?

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
