The Returning EX (Sophia and John) novel Chapter 736

Matilda smiled. “Look at John. He clings onto you like a sloth on superglue, but still you aren’t agreeing to his proposal. I’m scared. What if I have to go through that before he agrees to date me again?”

Yolanda left with William in the end, just as Sophia predicted.

Matilda and John sent them off, while Sophia looked out from the window. Looking at Matilda, she presented herself well, smiling and composed.

Sitting on the passenger seat, Yolanda rolled down the window and waved at Matilda. If they didn’t know better, they’d think she and William were a couple.

As William drove away, Sophia shouted, “Hey, what are you guys doing? You can’t let them leave together. Why didn’t you hail a ride for Ms. Bloom?”

John laughed. “You’d do that, I’m sure.”

Sophia snorted and went back to her room, while John and Matilda went into the living room. “Cheer up.” He patted Matilda’s shoulder. “Dad and Ms. Bloom are just friends. Don’t you see that he looks calm?”

William did look calm, and he didn’t show any signs of dating Yolanda, but Matilda still felt uneasy about it. Yolanda did like William, and she was a great woman, so Matilda thought that was it for her. “Yeah,” she answered weakly. “I’ll be going to my room now. It’s been a long day.”

John went upstairs with her. “What did Sophia say to you when you guys were upstairs?”

“Oh, I asked if she wants to get married to you again, and she said no. That’s it.”

John closed his eyes. “Forget I ever asked that.”

They went to their own rooms after going to the second floor. At this time, Sophia was going through her skincare routine in the bathroom, and she was humming a tune. Going over, John opened the door and leaned against the doorframe. “Someone looks happy.”

Sophia looked at him through the mirror. “Ms. Bloom’s really elegant, isn’t she?”

John nodded. “Yeah. She’s soft spoken, too, so I think it’s understandable if my dad likes her.”

When she was done with her mask, Sophia looked back at him. “So would you want your mom to marry him again, or would you want your dad to marry someone else?”

John snorted. “Is that a trick question?”

He then thought about it seriously. If it was in the past where his mother was still an unreasonable, clingy, mercurial woman, he would want his father to marry Yolanda. William’s mild-mannered personality was incompatible with the old Matilda, and it would only make her more unreasonable; he needed a gentler woman.

Coming out of the bathroom, Sophia went to sit on the bed and looked at her phone. “How’s your investigation going? The Isabelle one.”

John was pumped up at the mention of that. “How did you know she brought someone with her? She could have come alone.” He looked at Sophia.

Sophia glanced at him through the corner of her eye, failing to stifle her laughter as she giggled. “There’s a lot of things you don’t know.”
