The Returning Ex

With a smile, Sophia said, “I’m still alright. John told me that he wanted to stop work temporarily to keep me company until the child is born, but I don’t think it’s a good idea. If he stays with me all the time, I’ll probably find him irritating very soon.” Upon finishing her words, she burst into laughter.

Old Mrs. Constance knew that Sophia was just trying to come up with an excuse for John, so she grinned and said, “It’s said that familiarity breeds contempt. I think they’re getting along pretty well in their current state. John can be clingy sometimes, so if he’s free to keep Sophia company all the time, she will grow sick of him soon.”

With a smirk, Sophia went along by saying, “You’re right. Unlike his past self, he’s very clingy nowadays.”

On the other hand, Third Mrs. Blackwell teased, “That’s because he loves you. We all know what John was like in the past. He was an impassive man who never even smiled. If he’s started being all needy and clingy, it means that you’re very important to him.”
