The Returning Ex

Matilda made countless similar promises to Isabelle, but there was no progress between Isabelle and John at all. Matilda kept saying that she’d help Isabelle, but did she ever?

Isabelle pinched her glabella in frustration. “Mrs. Constance, is there no hope for you and Mr. Constance? Did you do it impulsively?”

“Impulsive? No, no. I have long noticed that something is not right with him. He started hooking up with that woman years ago. My guess is that their relationship has persisted, so what do I need a man like him for?”

I’m actually excusing myself specifically to meet with you, and I have to rush back now.”
