The Returning Ex

John merely flashed her a grin without a word, after which Sophia finally left home with lots of worries in her mind. However, she could not exactly pinpoint the reason behind her worries.

It was impossible for John to steal from her place. Even her house was a generous gift from him. How would he even eye anything in her place?

When she arrived at the store, Robin was already there. The hard worker, Robin, was done with all the cleaning and was sitting on a chair, watching something on her phone. Seeing Robin, Sophia went over and smiled. “What’s wrong? Why do you look concerned?”

Robin breathed through her mouth and commented, “Look, why is this incident getting out of hand?”

Sophia inched closer and realized that Robin was talking about William and Matilda’s divorce. The Constances had released a public statement admitting to the divorce and explained that it was a decision made on the grounds of incompatibility. As for the woman in the hospital, she was only a friend of William, and they never developed an inappropriate relationship. The Constances did not elaborate more than that.

Earlier, John’s divorce had been a messy affair. This time, it was William’s turn to get a divorce. There must be a lot of heated discussions online about the Constances’ affairs. Not bothering to take a look, Sophia knew that the discussions were never anything positive anyway. Straightening her body, she went over to the bar counter to tidy things up. “On this matter, it’s a family issue at its core. But many out there love to take part in affairs that are none of their business. Marriages and divorces should not be an issue of interest to these outsiders.”
