The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 381

When she came back earlier, Belinda told William what she did. He most likely expected that, so he didn't object. Instead, he stayed quiet. Belinda noticed he looked sad, but she knew he must be tired of this marriage too. The problems weren't new, and he had endured it for a long while now.

Matilda shut up.

Looking at her, Belinda said, "William's not here today. Go back to your room if you want to stay the night." Matilda stood up a moment later, her expression still defiant.

Belinda sighed. Even now, she still thinks she's right.

When she went back to her bedroom, aside from the things she took with her, it still looked the same. She went to sit on the sofa, her mind buzzing. Belinda made it clear that William had decided to divorce her. At the thought of that, she covered her face in horror, unwilling to think about how her life would be like after the divorce.

Her family wouldn't take her back. They were already complaining when she only moved back for two days, but she couldn't live alone either, for she would bump into people she knew. It would be impossible for her to face them, and she'd have to give them a wide berth, just like when she met Jessica earlier.

She thumped the bed angrily, then her phone rang. Matilda thought it was from William, but no; her family was calling her, and she knew why. Matilda ended the call and tossed her phone aside. Except for William, she didn't want to take anyone's call.

At the same time, John was also in his room. He heard his mother going into her room, but he didn't have time to care about her.

He was holding his phone, hesitating whether he should call Sophia. What should I say to her though? What his mother did could potentially cause a disaster, but they were lucky it didn't, or else Sophia would be out for their blood. It would be bad if that happened, but for now, a peaceful solution was possible.

John was flummoxed. Ever since Sophia married him, she never went against Matilda, so he wondered why his mother hated her so much. She just had to sabotage her, even when she had already gotten a divorce with him. I don't get it.

In the end, he put his phone down without calling her. He thought he was not being himself now. Usually, he wouldn't be this hesitant, for he had come across more serious problems than this one, but never dic he feel so frustrated. Taking a deep breath, he went to have a cold shower.

After that, it cleared up his mind. Coming out of the bathroom, he wore his shirt while facing the mirror in the cabinet. With his thoughts clear, he chalked his feeling of frustration and unnerve to his sudden reversion to single life.

Even if he hated the marriage with Sophia, he got used to that life after a year. Even though they had gone through the paperwork, their lives were still connected. It wasn't until now did they cut ties, then that feeling of frustration started welling up within him. I'm probably just not used to this.
