The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 898

Sophia wasn’t really adamant about it, so she said it was fine if he was busy and couldn’t come, since it was just a gathering for dinner; it wasn’t really important anyway.

John grunted in agreement. “I’ll see if I can finish up earlier so that I can head over right after that.”

Although Sophia didn’t ask him what he was going to do, she still reminded him to be careful. John grinned at that. “Don’t be worried. No one would dare to touch me.”

Since he was confident about it, Sophia felt way more relieved. After she hung up, she glanced over at Matilda. It seemed like Matilda hadn’t contacted William yet. In fact, she looked rather conflicted.

Sophia questioned with a hint of a laugh, “Why hadn’t you called him yet? Are you shy?”

Matilda pushed her hair back. “I just don’t know what to say to him.” If John could come, Matilda wouldn’t have to call William as he might be able to bring William along with him.

Sophia started laughing. “Why don’t you know what to say? Aren’t you two quite close now? Just tell him to come over for dinner. I don’t really see anything wrong with that.”

To be honest, Matilda felt like she was overthinking about it as well. She wasn’t like this in the past and she wouldn’t have felt awkward to ask William to come over for dinner. After taking a deep breath, Matilda took her phone and stood up. “I’ll go out to make the call.”

Sophia didn’t say anything but merely sighed after Matilda left the private room. Previously, she did tell Matilda to put on a bit of a show, but Matilda’s acting was obviously a bit too much now. She still needed to take the initiative sometimes.

After Matilda left the private room, she stood next to the window sill in the hallway. To be honest, she didn’t know why she felt bashful. The last time William went to her place, he had asked her something ambiguous. He asked Matilda whether the Constance Residence or her own place was nicer.
