The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 828

Sophia asked John if he wanted to have lunch with her. Knowing what she was trying to do, John smiled and asked

for her location. After Sophia told him her location, John said, “I’m going with my dad.”

Amused, Sophia replied, “That’s great.”

After the call ended, she turned to look at Matilda and the man, who were still trying to choose a suitable

curtain. They look like a couple trying to choose a piece of furniture for their home. I’m curious to know how

William will react when he sees this. It’s so exciting! Sophia thought.

Meanwhile, Matilda and the man still couldn’t decide which one to buy. As a woman, she would naturally want to

compare prices between a few shops before she could make a decision.

Walking over, Sophia said, “Oh, it’s the afternoon now. Why don’t we have lunch first? We can come back later.”

The man took a look at the time. “Oh, it’s lunch time now.” Turning to Matilda, he asked, “Shall we have lunch

now?”

Matilda grunted. “Alright. Let’s go.” Mainly, she was worried about Sophia. Since Sophia was pregnant now, she

would get hungry easily.

After leaving the shop, they walked along the road for some time until they found a proper restaurant. Since no one

was paying attention to her, Sophia took a photo of the restaurant and sent it to John. Then, she kept her phone

and followed them into the place.

Since it was lunch time, the restaurant was packed with people. The waiter told them that there was no more

private room left.

That’s great! We don’t want any private room. Sophia nodded. “It’s fine. We’ll take a table in the hall.”

Seeing as there was an empty table by the window, they walked over and took a seat. Upon gazing out the window,

Sophia found the location strategic, as she could look at the moving crowd outside the restaurant.

After the waiter put down the menus, Sophia said with a smile, “Please order your favorite food. I’m fine with

anything.”

While the other two were going through the menu, Sophia sent another message to John, who replied promptly,

‘We’ll arrive shortly.’

Smirking, Sophia felt that she had put in effort to try to mend the relationship between William and Matilda.

After they ordered some dishes, the waiter left. Looking at the man, Sophia asked, “What’s your name?”

Coming to his senses, the man replied, “Oh yes, I’ve forgotten to introduce myself. My name is Richard Drake.”

Upon learning his name, Sophia nodded. “Hi, Mr. Drake.”

Gazing at them, Richard inquired, “How did the two of you become friends? I’m really surprised.”

Batting her eyes, Sophia replied, “Oh, actually, she’s my mom.”

Hearing that, Richard was astounded. He knew that Matilda was divorced, and she had a son, but he wasn’t aware

that she had a daughter as well.

Sophia guffawed. “Well, she’s my mother-in-law, so she’s practically my mom as well.”

Richard said, “Oh, it’s no wonder that I find you familiar. I’ve read about your news before.”

Sophia laughed in a mirthless manner. “I’m sure you had read bad news about me.”

“No no no, it’s just a piece of unbiased commentary,” Richard hurriedly explained. “Anyway, you look more

beautiful in real life than the photo in the news.”

With a smile, Sophia thanked him. When the waiter was serving food later, Sophia finally saw John’s car.

John pulled over in front of the restaurant and got out of the vehicle, followed by William, who apparently had no

clue why his son brought him here.

When William turned to look into the restaurant, Sophia immediately shifted her attention to the waiter, who was
