On the other hand, William sported a somber expression. Upon taking a glance at William, Sophia left
the restaurant. After waiting for a bit, John rose from the chair as well and stepped out of this place.
Outside the entrance, when Sophia saw John, she quickly asked, “What was your dad’s reaction when
he saw Matilda? Was he angry? Or was he jealous?”
Smirking, John raised his hand and stroked her head. “We’ll see. I’m not sure what he makes of it.”
Pouting, Sophia complained, “I can’t believe I have to worry about their love life.”
Upon looking around, John said, “I don’t think we can have our lunch here anymore. Let’s look for a
new restaurant.”
After Sophia and John left, William remained seated as he waited for his food to be served. John knew
that he wouldn’t stay here for long, so he only ordered a few dishes.
Looking at the food on the table, William had lost his appetite. Picking up a fork, he jabbed it into the
food, but he then put it down again. Leaning against the chair, his expression was impassive.
Meanwhile, Matilda also wasn’t in the mood to enjoy her food as she was gripped by uneasiness.
Noticing her unusual behavior, Richard asked with a smile, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Letting out a sigh, Matilda replied, “I’m good.” After a moment of contemplation, she gazed at him and
said, “I saw my ex-husband.”
Startled, Richard questioned, “He’s here?”
Matilda nodded. “He’s not far from us.”
Grinning, Richard said, “It’s no wonder that Miss Gwendolyn left in a hurry.”
At that instant, Matilda didn’t know what to say. In fact, this wasn’t really an embarrassing situation. All
she had to do was go over and say hi, and the matter would be over. However, she couldn’t bring
herself to do it.
After looking around, Richard noticed William as well, even though he didn’t know him. Since William
was a man who liked to keep a low profile, he would normally shun interviews, and there were not
many news articles about him, so Richard simply found him familiar. He noticed that William never
touched his food, and he seemed to be displeased about something.
After staring at William for a while, Richard laughed and said to Matilda, “I think your ex-husband saw
us as well.”
Of course he saw us, because Sophia had asked John to bring his father here. Certainly, they would
make sure that William would notice me the moment they came into this restaurant, Matilda thought.
Licking her lips, she hesitated for a bit and said, “Can you wait for me here? I’ll go over and say hi.”
Gazing at her, Richard said, “Do you want me to go with you?”
Matilda shook her head. “There’s no need for that. I can do this on my own.” If he comes with me, the
situation will be awkward, seeing as we’re not in any relationship. If I bring him to see William, it will
make him misunderstand things.
Without insisting, Richard grunted. “Alright. I’ll wait for you here.”
Upon rising from the chair, Matilda walked toward William, who was seen with an indifferent
expression. Standing by his side, Matilda summoned her courage and said, “What a coincidence.”
Without turning to her, William remained in the same position. Still, Matilda decided to take a seat and
continued, “I saw John just now. Why did the two of you come all the way here?”
Locking his eyes with her, William composed himself and replied, “John insisted on bringing me here. I
guess he did it intentionally.”
With an embarrassed expression, Matilda licked her lips. “The man is just a friend who needs my help.”
At this point, William understood that Matilda wasn’t dating the man, since Sophia had tagged along.
