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.”
Without insisting, Richard grunted. “Alright. I’ll wait for you here.”
Upon rising from the chair, Matilda walked toward William, who was seen with an indifferent expression. Standing by his side, Matilda summoned her courage and said, “What a coincidence.”
Without turning to her, William remained in the same position. Still, Matilda decided to take a seat and continued, “I saw John just now. Why did the two of you come all the way here?”
Locking his eyes with her, William composed himself and replied, “John insisted on bringing me here. I guess he did it intentionally.”
With an embarrassed expression, Matilda licked her lips. “The man is just a friend who needs my help.”
At this point, William understood that Matilda wasn’t dating the man, since Sophia had tagged along.

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...
