The Returning Ex

“Nothing?” questioned Belinda, with a smirk on her face. “When Yolanda was in the hospital, you’ve been visiting the hospital so often. William, as if I’ll believe it when you tell me that there’s nothing going on.”

Frustrated, William didn’t know what to say, so he kept quiet throughout the journey when he sent Belinda home.

Bursting with happiness, Belinda didn’t go for a rest, but instead, she was discussing with the servants to work out a to-buy-list for Sophia.

Seeing that, William couldn’t help but smile, and after excusing himself, he went upstairs.

As soon as he had reached his room, his phone rang—it was John.

Picking up the call, William asked, “John? Is there anything?”

Letting out a sigh, John said, “Nothing in particular. I couldn’t quite sleep, so I thought of dropping you a call.”

In his throaty voice, he continued, “Dad, do you intend to reconcile with Mom?”

Dumbstruck for a moment, William asked, “Why do you ask all of a sudden?”

Chuckling, John spilled, “Well, when we had dinner today, I saw you stealing quick glances at Mom a few times, so I thought you were thinking of… you know.”
