On the other hand, William sported a somber expression. Upon taking a glance at William, Sophia left the restaurant. After waiting for a bit, John rose from the chair as well and stepped out of this place.
Outside the entrance, when Sophia saw John, she quickly asked, “What was your dad’s reaction when he saw Matilda? Was he angry? Or was he jealous?”
Smirking, John raised his hand and stroked her head. “We’ll see. I’m not sure what he makes of it.”
Pouting, Sophia complained, “I can’t believe I have to worry about their love life.”
Upon looking around, John said, “I don’t think we can have our lunch here anymore. Let’s look for a new restaurant.”
After Sophia and John left, William remained seated as he waited for his food to be served. John knew that he wouldn’t stay here for long, so he only ordered a few dishes.
Looking at the food on the table, William had lost his appetite. Picking up a fork, he jabbed it into the food, but he then put it down again. Leaning against the chair, his expression was impassive.
Meanwhile, Matilda also wasn’t in the mood to enjoy her food as she was gripped by uneasiness.
Noticing her unusual behavior, Richard asked with a smile, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Letting out a sigh, Matilda replied, “I’m good.” After a moment of contemplation, she gazed at him and said, “I saw my ex-husband.”
Startled, Richard questioned, “He’s here?”
Matilda nodded. “He’s not far from us.”
