The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 804

Walking over, John took Sophia’s hands and pulled her toward him. “Let’s go back to our room and sleep.”

After pondering on it, Matilda decided to stay on the spot.

A moment later, William turned around and saw Matilda, who appeared to be forcing a smile in embarrassment. Seeing that, he quickly said something and hung up the call. Going over, he said, “I thought it would take you a long time to finish dinner.”

Matilda replied, “It only took us a short time to finish dinner. Moreover, Sophia felt sleepy, so we hurried home.”

Without going back to the main building, William invited her to have a stroll with him. In fact, they had lived in this mansion for thirty years, so they were familiar with all the places, but they rarely took a walk around here in the past.

Even though they were divorced, the atmosphere was pleasant and Matilda didn’t want to return to her room so quickly, hence she nodded. “Sure. It’s good to have a walk after dinner.”

Following that, they walked toward the backyard and passed by the house of the Second Constance Family. At that moment, Dylan happened to be standing outside the entrance. Seeing William and Matilda, Dylan was surprised and called out to them just like before.

While William’s expression remained indifferent, Matilda was feeling uneasy, for she was no longer a part of the family.

Old Mr. Bailey was at home when Isabelle returned. Seated on the couch, he stared at his daughter and inquired, “Didn’t you have dinner with them?”

“Yeah, I had dinner with them.” Upon putting down her bag, Isabelle took a seat on the couch and stretched her back. “I came home after dinner.”

Since Dexter had turned seventeen, he started becoming rebellious. He said, “If I take a rest now, I won’t be able to finish my work, and you’ll start nagging me.”

Old Mr. Bailey frowned. “I nag you because you’re not working hard enough. Do you understand that your sister and I are having difficulty managing the company? We’ll have to rely on you in the future.”

Displeased with what he had heard, Dexter snorted. “Why must you rely on me? If I’m not going to take over the company, will it be closed down?”

“What the heck are you talking about?” Old Mr. Bailey stood straight up.

Dexter rose as well and yelled, “Didn’t you say that Isabelle would marry a capable man, and they’d help me manage the company? Since the man is so resourceful, you can just pass the company to my sister and him. I don’t want the company anyway. I can’t even finish my homework now, but I still have to listen to your complaints about company issues. While other kids can go on vacation during holidays, I have to go to summer school!”
