The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 952

Samuel went along by saying, “Yes, I can’t believe that we’ll be one generation older soon. It’s said that time waits

for no man. We have to admit that we’re old now.”

Slightly annoyed, Jennifer said, “Well, William and his wife haven’t expressed their opinion yet. When our son has a

child of his own, we’ll then be grandpa and grandma.”

Displeased about the innuendo in Jennifer’s words, Owen shot his wife a look and chided, “Stop it. It’s a joyful

occasion today. Why did you have to make it unhappy for everyone?”

Jennifer glared back at her husband, but she didn’t dare utter a word.

Walking over, Sophia flashed a smile at them while John engaged in small talk with the relatives.

Without looking at John and Sophia, Jennifer turned to speak to Virginia. Her petty action was pretty embarrassing

for Owen. Nevertheless, John and Sophia didn’t mind it one bit.

Jennifer’s action was too childish, as Sophia had never offended her before. Moreover, there was nothing immoral

going on between Sophia and Dylan. It was petty and unreasonable of her to keep picking on Sophia.

When the small talk was over, John and Sophia returned to the main building.

At this moment, Old Mrs. Constance, who was accompanied by Matilda, was standing at the entrance of the main

building. Matilda didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving, so she would most likely stay over.

Thinking back, Sophia realized that just like herself, Matilda remained silent most of the time during the dinner.

Perhaps it was because she didn’t have the courage to voice her opinions, since she was no longer married to

William. Therefore, a marriage certificate could be useful sometimes. Seeing as John and Sophia were approaching

her, Matilda put on a smile. “You’re back. I had wanted to bid you farewell before leaving.” Surprised, Sophia

inquired, “Aren’t you staying over tonight?” Slightly embarrassed, Matilda replied, “No. I should be going.” At this

moment, William was nowhere in sight. Old Mrs. Constance went along with Sophia by saying, “It’s late now. You

should stay here tonight.” Unwilling to do so, Matilda said, “I think I should go home. Actually, I’m fine with staying

here, but I’m afraid that there will be gossip about me again.” Most importantly, she was afraid that her mother

would reprimand her for acting inappropriately. Old Mrs. Constance sighed. “Alright. I’ll have a talk with your mother

and see how we can settle this issue.” Trying to tease his mother, John gazed at her and asked, “Why don’t I send

you home?” Hearing this, Matilda was startled, and her expression turned uneasy.

Sophia immediately pinched his waist. “Stop it. Are you trying to make it worse for your mom?” John guffawed. “I

was just asking. I knew that my mom wouldn’t agree to it.” Just then, William came downstairs with a bag in his

hand. With a calm expression, he walked up to Matilda and said, “I’ve packed up some clothes. Are we leaving

now?” He’s even packed up enough clothes, Sophia thought. Darting her gaze between Old Mrs. Constance and

John, she burst out laughing. Trying to make fun of them, Old Mrs. Constance said, “My son is a grown man, so I

don’t think I can make him stay. Just go now. Matilda is bashful to stay here, while William is thick-skinned enough to

follow her home.” With her face turned red in embarrassment, Matilda clapped William’s shoulder and said, “Why

are you bringing clothes with you? You only have to send me home.” Unabashed at all, William replied, “What do

you mean I only have to send you home? We’re going back to your home together.”
