William wrapped his fingers around his phone tightly and probingly asked, “So, are you and Richard really…?”
Even without William saying the last few words, Matilda knew what he was trying to ask. So, she let out a sigh and said, “There is nothing complicated between me and Richard. We’re just friends at the moment.”
As her answer turned out to be the same as his hunch had been telling him, he replied, “I’m glad to hear that.” Despite his brief reply, those few words meant a lot to Matilda. Hearing no response from the lady, William added, “I think you and I have both changed a lot lately.”
William’s words filled Matilda’s mind with a billion question marks. What’s he trying to say? Soon, William continued to say, “I didn’t handle it well in sustaining a healthy marriage life, so I guess I was also responsible for our separation back then.”
Matilda only responded with an affirmative hum, not knowing what else to reply to William’s words. Since when has this guy learned how to sweet-talk his way out? The man’s sincere confession made Matilda’s face blush in bashfulness. Shortly after that, William took a deep breath and suggested a plan, “Maybe I should pay a visit to the Flintstone Residence someday.” While Matilda was caught in a trance upon hearing that, William asked, “What about tomorrow? Would it be okay for me to visit in the evening?”
Matilda was tongue-tied as her mind frantically searched for the right answer to reply. Gosh! I didn’t expect him to tell me that he’ll be coming. What am I supposed to say? What’s the meaning of this? Before Matilda could respond, William said, “I’ll take that as a yes. See you tomorrow evening.” After finishing his sentence, he took a look at the time and concluded their conversation, “It’s about time now. I need to get going for work. Bye!”
Meanwhile, Matilda only responded with an ‘oh’, despite a long contemplation. After William hung up the call, she stood in place and raised her eyebrows in confusion. What’s William up to? He said he is coming to the Flintstone Residence, but why?

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...
