The Returning Ex

William didn’t ask Matilda for the name of the person in the call. Instead, he simply placed his arm gently around her shoulders and followed her to the dining table. Sophia stared at them and curled her lips into a smile. This was her first time seeing the public display of affection between a middle-aged couple, and it was surprisingly sweet!

Feeling embarrassed, Matilda sat down and took a sip of water.

Logan was especially enthusiastic on this day as he greeted William. Also, he inquired about William’s preferred dishes and told him to order anything from the menu by himself.

William did not have any particular dish he wanted in mind. However, he specifically reminded everyone, “I thought that today’s dinner was only between me and her, and I happened to think of a good restaurant which serves tasty dishes. I wanted to bring her for a taste, but she ended up telling me that it is a dinner gathering.”

It was a loaded remark, and Sophia could not help but burst out giggling at him. “Master William, do you mean to say that you’re feeling quite disappointed? You must be dying to spend some quality time alone with Madam Flintstone.”
