The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 781

William was a very sentimental person. If it weren’t for his feelings for Matilda over so many years, he wouldn’t have endured her attitude in the past. Later, his feelings for her were almost worn out, so he thought that it would be for the best if they got divorced. However, she had changed almost overnight.

When he saw her, his heart had pounded hard and fast for some inexplicable reason. He was no spring chicken anymore, so it would be embarrassing for him to tell anyone about it.

Anyway, it was an extraordinary feeling.

But if someone told him to reconcile with Matilda immediately, he wouldn’t dare to do so either. The trauma of the past was still there. Even if she had changed, he didn’t believe that she could change completely.

As he chatted with Old Mrs. Constance, Sophia and Matilda both came down the stairs, followed by John, who was looking quite amused.

Matilda mumbled as she came down the stairs, “I did actually wake up once but watching her sleep so well, I felt drowsy again and fell back asleep. I never sleep so much, alright? It has never been possible.”

Sophia was a bit unhappy at that, so she swiveled around to look at Matilda. “How could you blame me for this kind of thing? You never fail to impress me.” She was a little angry and added, “So what if we slept all afternoon? It’s such a normal thing to do. Why do you have to make it sound like it’s something extremely shameful?”

Matilda glanced at Sophia. “It’s normal for you to sleep all day, but it’s not for me.” The two of them didn’t look like people from two different generations; they appeared more like sisters instead.

When Matilda came down and saw William, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and greeted, “You’re back.”

Seeing her, William smiled. “It doesn’t matter. You should rest when you’re tired. No one will mind.”

Intrigued by the man, Sophia immediately asked, “Did you lock him up? I want to meet him.”

John paused briefly. He immediately remembered Sophia’s latest masterpiece and said rather helplessly, “This man doesn’t have a great physique. If you go, I think he’ll literally die in your hands. Hence, I think it’s best you skip this.”

Hearing that, Sophia instantly became displeased. “Are you even listening to yourself? What are you even saying? He got someone to harm me and even hurt Madam Flintstone. I have to go and see for myself who it is, right? My request is completely reasonable, understand?”

John was well aware of how silver-tongued Sophia was. He raised his hand and patted the top of Sophia’s head. “Will you please let me deal with this matter by myself? Otherwise, I’ll feel useless to have to depend on you for everything.”
