The Returning Ex

Chapter 977

During this time, William and Matilda’s living situation was akin to cohabitation. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Since there was no housekeeper around, she had to do everything on her own.

Every day, he would find her preparing dinner in the kitchen when he got home from work.

To be honest, he really liked the current arrangement.

In the past, Matilda was a bad cook, but her culinary skills had improved drastically now, and that came as a surprise to William.

After working for a while, Matilda turned around and saw that William was back. She smiled at him. “Why are you standing there? Go join the others in the living room. It’s quite smoky and oily here in the kitchen.”

He beamed gently at her. “I just want to stand here and look at you.”

This old fella finally learned how to sweet-talk at this age. She then nodded at him. “Alright then, you can look on if you want. If you’re really bored, you can help us out too.”

To her surprise, he actually took off his coat, flung it onto the sofa and entered the kitchen. “What do you need help with? Just tell me.”

There was nothing much for William to do. After all, the servant was quite helpful and skilled.

Matilda turned around and scanned the kitchen before gesturing at the servant to leave, telling her, “Leave it to us.”

The servant was taken aback by the suggestion.

Earlier, she noticed that Matilda’s personality had changed. Now, even William seemed to have turned into a new person.

Matilda noticed that the servant was taken aback, so she tapped her on the shoulder. “You can continue your work out there. Leave the cooking to us. It’s fine.”

After deliberating for a while, the servant left them alone.

Matilda grabbed an apron for William. “Come here. Time to put on your battle armor.”

He accepted the apron and looked at it with a smile.

Then, he obediently put on the apron and asked, “What’s next? Give me the orders, boss.”

Matilda almost burst out laughing at his comical behavior. After that, she patted around herself and checked her surroundings in an attempt to look for something.

Looking mildly confused, he asked, “What are you looking for?”

To that question, she laughed and replied, “I’m searching for my phone. I want to take a photo of you right now.”

He didn’t mind it, so he handed his own phone over. “Use mine to take the photo.”

So, she received his phone and took a photo of him in the apron.

Next, she stared at the photo for a bit. After some consideration, she decided to upload the photo to his Facebook account on his phone.

His account was set to private and he did not have many friends on the site. There were only some family members and long-time friends.

After posting, she tapped out of the app and placed the phone back into his pocket. “Now, what we need to do is to get these dishes done.”

He nodded cooperatively. “Alright. I’ll do it.”

They worked well together and started getting busy in the kitchen.

In the living room, Sophia stared at the kitchen for a while and tapped on John’s shoulder, gesturing at him to take a look. She lifted a brow in amusement. “Look at your parents and how close they are now!”

Logan was the first to turn around and take a look, after which he smacked his lips. “Sometimes, I feel that John has walked down the same path as his dad.”

Then, he elaborated on his previous remark. “Before this, John was really cold and distant. After going through the divorce and remarriage saga with you, he has mellowed out. Same happened to his dad.”

Still staring at the kitchen, Logan went on to say, “At first, John was a very firm and cold character. After the divorce and even before the remarriage, he has clearly changed a lot and resembles nothing like before. He has become more easygoing, talkative and friendly.”

John smiled helplessly. “Perhaps we are fated to be a family.”

John shared the same experience with William in marriage. However, his own challenges surfaced earlier in the marriage. As for William, his marital issues didn’t arise until he was in his middle age.
