no wonder
That makes sense
No wonder signals that something is unsurprising given what's now known: No wonder you're tired—you've been up since dawn.
It typically follows a revelation that explains a previously puzzling situation.
The phrase can stand alone as a response: She's been sick all week. —No wonder.
