The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1260

“Was she alone?” Matilda asked, startled.

Sophia shook her head, and it was John who answered, “There was a man next to her. I think that’s her matchmake

partner, and they look rather compatible. We saw that they were chatting happily and seemed to be getting along

well.”

Nodding, Matilda said, “That’s good.”

Feeling a little nosy, Sophia’s eyes drifted toward William. In the end, she didn’t see any reaction from him as he

kept his eyes fixed on his laptop with a frown.

Matilda noticed the look in her eyes and chuckled. Patting her shoulder, she said in a hushed voice, “Yolanda called

him just two days ago.”

Raising an eyebrow, she asked hurriedly, “What did she say? Why is she calling now?”

Sighing, Matilda answered, “Well, she didn’t say anything inappropriate. She said that that man had proposed to her

and wanted to ask for William’s opinion if she should agree to the proposal or not.”

A helpless smile flashed across Sophia’s face; anyone could tell how narrow-minded that move was. If she really

wanted some opinion, she should have called her parents instead of a man whom she had some complicated

relations with. There was no way she would believe that Yolanda was not up to some small tricks in her heart.

And it looked like Matilda knew about her intentions as well.

“Doesn’t she know if she wants to accept the proposal or not?” Old Mrs. Constance cried. “William doesn’t even

know that man, so what opinion would he have?” With a disgusted look, she added, “She’s still harboring such

thoughts at this time. A man never knows contentment. If she keeps this up, she’ll not enjoy her life.”

Since she was speaking quite loud, William must have heard it as well, and the edge of Sophia’s lips curled upward

with sheer delight.

John reached out and stroked her chin with his finger. “Just smile if you want to

Why are you holding back?” Twisting her head at him, she hit him playfully on the arm. “It’s awkward.” With a snort,

he bantered, “You find it awkward? But you looked happy when you hugged Ian in front of everyone.” This made

both Old Mrs. Constance and Matilda turn their heads in curiosity. Waving her hand anxiously, she explained, “Don’t

get me wrong. That was just a hug to say goodbye at the end and purely a form of greeting between friends. With

such a big belly, it’s impossible for me to have any other thoughts.” Nodding, Matilda asked, “Why are you

explaining yourself so anxiously when we didn’t say anything at all?” “Exactly. The more you try to explain, the

more guilty you appear,” Old Mrs. Constance chimed in. “Why are you guys adding fuel to the fire?” Sophia whined,

her face twitching. A little while after Sophia and John left, Ian stood up to leave, too. He had come from work

directly and didn’t even have the opportunity to remove his makeup, so it went to show that he didn’t have time to

catch a break in between. Even Ian himself looked exhausted and wanted to go home earlier to rest. … Knowing his

schedule, Lorraine understood that it was already amazing that he was able to make it here despite being so busy

today. Hence, she didn’t try to make him stay and told him that he could come to her anytime he ran into any

trouble. Lorraine could be considered as the one who introduced him into showbiz, so she felt a certain sense of

responsibility for him. After bidding everyone goodbye, Ian left, and soon after, Logan and Lola said that they

wanted to leave as well. Old Mr. Jefferson and his four sons-in-law were taken aback and quickly tried to make them

stay a little longer.
