William didn’t ask Matilda for the name of the person in the call. Instead, he simply placed his arm gently around her shoulders and followed her to the dining table. Sophia stared at them and curled her lips into a smile. This was her first time seeing the public display of affection between a middle-aged couple, and it was surprisingly sweet!
Feeling embarrassed, Matilda sat down and took a sip of water.
Logan was especially enthusiastic on this day as he greeted William. Also, he inquired about William’s preferred dishes and told him to order anything from the menu by himself.
William did not have any particular dish he wanted in mind. However, he specifically reminded everyone, “I thought that today’s dinner was only between me and her, and I happened to think of a good restaurant which serves tasty dishes. I wanted to bring her for a taste, but she ended up telling me that it is a dinner gathering.”
It was a loaded remark, and Sophia could not help but burst out giggling at him. “Master William, do you mean to say that you’re feeling quite disappointed? You must be dying to spend some quality time alone with Madam Flintstone.”
in a great mood tonight, let’s have some fun together. Both of you have a lot of time to spend together in the future. There’s no rush!”
Her words made Matilda feel embarrassed. On the other hand, William only chuckled and agreed. “You’re right.”
Matilda silently let out a sigh. At that moment, she could not identify the mix of emotions in her; it was a somewhat sweet feeling, mixed with some joy and a tinge of excitement.
While having dinner, William asked for the reason behind John’s absence, to which Sophia replied that John seemed to be busy dealing with some matters.

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...
