The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 834

William only responded with silence until the car pulled up outside the company. When he opened the car door and stepped out of the vehicle, he finally said something. As he stood next to the car, he answered, “Yeah, it’s pretty easy for her.”

At first, John didn’t catch on to what William meant, until a few moments later when he realized his father was answering his earlier question. Nevertheless, he only smiled and entered their company with William.

In the afternoon, John was swamped with work, so he couldn’t find time to check on William. Still, he knew the latter would probably be moody considering the incident that happened earlier in the day. It was only until the evening that John was finally able to settle all his work.

Then, he stretched himself and gave Sophia a call to ask where she was, to which he was told that Sophia and Matilda were still at Logan’s club, where they were planning to have their dinner. Upon hearing that, John quickly replied, “Count me in. I’m joining you ladies!”

Sophia chuckled and replied, “But if you come here, there will be no one else at home to keep Old Mrs. Constance and Mr. William company. For that, I doubt you’ll be spared from their naggings.”

Unconcerned, John answered, “Well, it’s not like my presence is going to make the house a lot more crowded. So, I’ll be fine.”

After a brief contemplation, Sophia agreed to that, thinking that she was in no position to turn him away since they were on Logan’s turf.

Upon hanging up the call, John tidied up his desk and waited until it was time to leave work. As he made his way to the corridor, he ran into William, who happened to be stepping out of the pantry with a glass in his hand. When William saw his son hurriedly leaving, he asked, “Hey, what’s the rush? Is it time to go home already?”

“Sophia and Mom are eating out, and I’ll be joining them,” John said.

As William stood behind and watched his son leave, he couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by mixed feelings. It looks like we’re going back to the old days where there was just me and the old lady at home.
