The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 388

William looked at her quietly, not sitting down. "Sophia, we only found out what happened last night. It was already late, so we didn't want to disturb you. We're here today to apologize. No matter what, it's our fault."

He then gave Matilda a look. She still looked inscrutable, but she said, "Sorry for what happened yesterday. It was my fault."

Despite her words, she did not look apologetic at all, and Sophia gave her a look, sneering.

William knew what she meant, so he glared at Matilda. "Apologize properly."

Matilda took a deep breath and continued softly, "I was too rash yesterday, and I'm aware that my actions have inconvenienced you. I'm sorry." She didn't look at Sophia, for even at this point, Matilda was still prideful and refused to bow down.

Sophia clicked her tongue. "It'd look bad on me if I don't let it slide now, wouldn't it?" She shrugged, smiling. "But I don't want to let it slide, so what should I do?"

William quickly said, "We're just here to apologize, and we don't expect you to forgive us. It is our fault, Sophia."

"Oh, please don't say that," Sophia said. "I am not a saint, but I don't put the blame where it doesn't belong. If you had known what would happen, I trust that you would have stopped it. But you didn't, so that means you didn't know either. I'll only need the mastermind to be held responsible."

Matilda looked up at Sophia, her expression frustrated. She came here reluctantly, and Sophia could see that too.

Hearing this, William sighed. "You're a good girl. It's a pity John isn't married to you."

Sophia agreed, adding on to his words, "It's his loss."

Matilda frowned, but only for a moment.

Sophia ignored her. "Let's end this here. I know I shouldn't make this too big, so don't worry. If you'll just leave me alone, this'll probably be the last time I will talk to you and your family." Subsequently, she took her apron off. "Mr. Constance, I'll be more than happy to invite you for a meal if you're here alone, but if you're not, I'll have to ask you to leave."

She wasn't being too nice, mocking Matilda at every chance she could. At her words, William nodded. It was normal that she wouldn't be nice to them, so he left. Sophia saw them off, and as they went out, they started talking. From the looks of it, William seemed unhappy. Sophia sneered, then she went back to the dining room.

Logan was still in there, so he heard everything they said. He was texting when Sophia came in, and he said, "I got news. John's mom has been staying in her family's home all this while. Not sure if she'll go back to the Constance Residence or keep staying at her home."

Then he smiled. "Say, do you think John knows about his mother coming here today?"

A moment later, Sophia took out her phone. "He actually texted me just now." John's message came right when his parents came over.
