William nodded. “I see.”
Matilda went on to say, “I’m sorry that I left your home the other day without informing you. My family wanted me to go home immediately.” Forcing a smile, she said, “Nevertheless, I don’t think you care about this.”
Without continuing this topic, William raised his chin to point in the direction of Richard. “Are you dating him?”
“No no no,” Matilda explained hurriedly. “I’m not dating him. He’s just a friend.”
William turned to glance at Richard again, who happened to look in his direction as well. As a confident man, Richard flashed a smile at William, whose expression remained glacial.
After a pause, William said, “Why didn’t I know you have this friend?”
Behaving like a cheating student who was caught red-handed by the teacher, Matilda answered in an honest manner, “We got to know each other two days ago. My mom said he’s a nice guy—” Noticing that she had said it in an inappropriate way, Matilda caught herself and rephrased her words. “Well, since I don’t have many friends, my mom told me to try to make new friends and… that’s what happened.”
Why do I feel that the more I explain, the more it sounds suspicious? Eventually, Matilda decided to keep her mouth shut so that the misunderstanding wouldn’t worsen.
William gave her a dispassionate smile.
Lowering her head, Matilda noticed that he had never touched his food. At that instant, she wasn’t sure what he made of the situation now. Is he angry with me? But he doesn’t look like it, even though he seems different from his usual self. Matilda was perplexed.
Honestly, since they were divorced, William didn’t have a reason to be mad. At any rate, Matilda wouldn’t dare to think that he was jealous.
Seeing as Matilda never returned, Richard finished his food and walked over. Feeling more confident than William, Richard said, “Hi, Mr. William. I’ve always wanted to meet you.”

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...
