The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 130

Matilda was crying in her room, while William calmed her down patiently. She merely threw a tantrum in

her bedroom the whole afternoon, and her tears only rolled when William appeared. Sighing, he patted

her shoulder. “Sophia’s not a part of our family now, so you can’t treat her like how you used to.

Besides, John needs to work with her, so be nicer to her, will you?”

Matilda sobbed. “Yes, I did insult her, but she kicked me.”

John went to knock on the door despite it being wide open, and when Matilda saw him, she cried

louder. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

William looked at his son. “What did she say?”

John replied calmly, “She said she won’t pursue this matter anymore, but she won’t come back. I might

leave too.”

Now that this had happened, they couldn’t stay in the same house anymore. Putting Sophia aside,

Matilda would cause a ruckus by herself, judging from her personality. In the end, she would get the

short end of the stick. Thus, William nodded. “Sure. You’re an adult now, so you can leave anytime you

want.”

Matilda pursed her lips and cried sadly. When William looked back at her, his tone softened down as he

said, “Let me take a look. Where did you get kicked? Are you hurt? Do you still feel unwell? Do I need

to call the family physician over?” John looked at his father. His concern was genuine, even after all

these years; he was always this patient with Matilda. Sometimes when Matilda told him about her

shopping, he could even ask her what happened.

So can two people who originally had no feelings for each other fall in love with time? John couldn’t

understand this.

With John here, she couldn’t take off her clothes, so she told William how she was humiliated and how

she never felt so insulted.

William caressed her hair. “Alright. Once she’s not useful to us, I’ll teach her a lesson for you.”

That was just lip service, but she was satisfied with it. “That d*mned girl. I’m going to get back at her. I

want her to apologize to me and feel how I felt today.”

John leaned against the doorframe. Once his mother had calmed down, he asked, “She hit you today?

Bold.”

Matilda widened her eyes. “Yeah, she kicked me and caught me off guard. Then, she kicked the

servant even harder. She’s like a demon.”

John couldn’t imagine how Sophia looked like as a demon. All he could think of was how servile or

cheeky she was. Then, he nodded. “Look after Mom, Dad. If the injury is severe, call the doctor. I’ll go

down now.”

William nodded. “You’ve been busy for the whole day now, so go have a meal.”

When John came down, Old Mrs. Constance was still sitting on the sofa. He went to take her to the

dining room. It wasn’t a big room, but with only the two of them, it looked lonely.

Old Mrs. Constance looked at the spot beside her and sighed. “Sophia is noisy and rowdy, but she

knows how to lift someone’s spirits.”

John looked at her spot. Indeed, she was a rowdy person when it came to meals. Sophia couldn’t stop

fidgeting, making noise, and eating however she wanted. However, she did improve his appetite. “Is

that so?” John looked away. “I think she’s noisy.”
