The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 977

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.
