The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 952

Samuel went along by saying, “Yes, I can’t believe that we’ll be one generation older soon. It’s said that time waits for no man. We have to admit that we’re old now.”

Slightly annoyed, Jennifer said, “Well, William and his wife haven’t expressed their opinion yet. When our son has a child of his own, we’ll then be grandpa and grandma.”

Displeased about the innuendo in Jennifer’s words, Owen shot his wife a look and chided, “Stop it. It’s a joyful occasion today. Why did you have to make it unhappy for everyone?”

Jennifer glared back at her husband, but she didn’t dare utter a word.

Walking over, Sophia flashed a smile at them while John engaged in small talk with the relatives.

Without looking at John and Sophia, Jennifer turned to speak to Virginia. Her petty action was pretty embarrassing for Owen. Nevertheless, John and Sophia didn’t mind it one bit.

Jennifer’s action was too childish, as Sophia had never offended her before. Moreover, there was nothing immoral going on between Sophia and Dylan. It was petty and unreasonable of her to keep picking on Sophia.

When the small talk was over, John and Sophia returned to the main building.

At this moment, Old Mrs. Constance, who was accompanied by Matilda, was standing at the entrance of the main building. Matilda didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving, so she would most likely stay over.

Thinking back, Sophia realized that just like herself, Matilda remained silent most of the time during the dinner. Perhaps it was because she didn’t have the courage to voice her opinions, since she was no longer married to William. Therefore, a marriage certificate could be useful sometimes.

Seeing as John and Sophia were approaching her, Matilda put on a smile. “You’re back. I had wanted to bid you farewell before leaving.”

Surprised, Sophia inquired, “Aren’t you staying over tonight?”

Slightly embarrassed, Matilda replied, “No. I should be going.”

John guffawed. “I was just asking. I knew that my mom wouldn’t agree to it.”

Just then, William came downstairs with a bag in his hand. With a calm expression, he walked up to Matilda and said, “I’ve packed up some clothes. Are we leaving now?”

He’s even packed up enough clothes, Sophia thought. Darting her gaze between Old Mrs. Constance and John, she burst out laughing.

Trying to make fun of them, Old Mrs. Constance said, “My son is a grown man, so I don’t think I can make him stay. Just go now. Matilda is bashful to stay here, while William is thick-skinned enough to follow her home.”

With her face turned red in embarrassment, Matilda clapped William’s shoulder and said, “Why are you bringing clothes with you? You only have to send me home.”

Unabashed at all, William replied, “What do you mean I only have to send you home? We’re going back to your home together.”
