During this time, William and Matilda’s living situation was akin to cohabitation.
Since there was no housekeeper around, she had to do everything on her own.
Every day, he would find her preparing dinner in the kitchen when he got home from work.
To be honest, he really liked the current arrangement.
In the past, Matilda was a bad cook, but her culinary skills had improved drastically now, and that came as a surprise to William.
After working for a while, Matilda turned around and saw that William was back. She smiled at him. “Why are you standing there? Go join the others in the living room. It’s quite smoky and oily here in the kitchen.”
He beamed gently at her. “I just want to stand here and look at you.”
This old fella finally learned how to sweet-talk at this age. She then nodded at him. “Alright then, you can look on if you want. If you’re really bored, you can help us out too.”
To her surprise, he actually took off his coat, flung it onto the sofa and entered the kitchen. “What do you need help with? Just tell me.”
There was nothing much for William to do. After all, the servant was quite helpful and skilled.
Matilda turned around and scanned the kitchen before gesturing at the servant to leave, telling her, “Leave it to us.”
The servant was taken aback by the suggestion.
Earlier, she noticed that Matilda’s personality had changed. Now, even William seemed to have turned into a new person.
Matilda noticed that the servant was taken aback, so she tapped her on the shoulder. “You can continue your work out there. Leave the cooking to us. It’s fine.”
After deliberating for a while, the servant left them alone.
Matilda grabbed an apron for William. “Come here. Time to put on your battle armor.”
He accepted the apron and looked at it with a smile.

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...
