The Returning Ex

Laughing out loud, Matilda teased, “What a lousy excuse! You can just tell Sophia that you missed her. Why are you being this shy?”

Chuckling, John said, “Actually, I thought she knew.”

Surprised, Matilda grumbled, “Is it even necessary to go out and answer the call? This fella, is he hiding something?”

With a snort, Sophia sneered, “He’s probably chatting with some lady and is afraid that we will overhear it.”

Glancing at Sophia, Matilda was speechless, but played along by nodding her head. “You’re probably right! That lady might be pregnant with his son, too. I’ll drill him later! That scumbag, don’t even think of giving him a second chance!”
