Female Novel
Chapter 1260
“Was she alone?” Matilda asked, startled.
Sophia shook her head, and it was John who answered, “There was a man next to her. I think that’s hermatchmake partner, and they look rather compatible. We saw that they were chatting happily andseemed to be getting along well.”
Nodding, Matilda said, “That’s good.”
Feeling a little nosy, Sophia’s eyes drifted toward William. In the end, she didn’t see any reaction fromhim as he kept his eyes fixed on his laptop with a frown.
Matilda noticed the look in her eyes and chuckled. Patting her shoulder, she said in a hushed voice,“Yolanda called him just two days ago.”
Raising an eyebrow, she asked hurriedly, “What did she say? Why is she calling now?”
Sighing, Matilda answered, “Well, she didn’t say anything inappropriate. She said that that man hadproposed to her and wanted to ask for William’s opinion if she should agree to the proposal or not.”
A helpless smile flashed across Sophia’s face; anyone could tell how narrow-minded that move was. Ifshe really wanted some opinion, she should have called her parents instead of a man whom she hadsome complicated relations with. There was no way she would believe that Yolanda was not up tosome small tricks in her heart.
And it looked like Matilda knew about her intentions as well.
“Doesn’t she know if she wants to accept the proposal or not?” Old Mrs. Constance cried. “Williamdoesn’t even know that man, so what opinion would he have?” With a disgusted look, she added,“She’s still harboring such thoughts at this time. A man never knows contentment. If she keeps this up,she’ll not enjoy her life.”
Since she was speaking quite loud, William must have heard it as well, and the edge of Sophia’s lipscurled upward with sheer delight.
John reached out and stroked her chin with his finger. “Just smile if you want to. Why are you holdingback?”
Twisting her head at him, she hit him playfully on the arm. “It’s awkward.”
With a snort, he bantered, “You find it awkward? But you looked happy when you hugged Ian in front ofeveryone.”
This made both Old Mrs. Constance and Matilda turn their heads in curiosity.
Waving her hand anxiously, she explained, “Don’t get me wrong. That was just a hug to say goodbye atthe end and purely a form of greeting between friends. With such a big belly, it’s impossible for me tohave any other thoughts.”
Nodding, Matilda asked, “Why are you explaining yourself so anxiously when we didn’t say anything atall?”
“Exactly. The more you try to explain, the more guilty you appear,” Old Mrs. Constance chimed in.
“Why are you guys adding fuel to the fire?” Sophia whined, her face twitching.
A little while after Sophia and John left, Ian stood up to leave, too. He had come from work directly anddidn’t even have the opportunity to remove his makeup, so it went to show that he didn’t have time tocatch a break in between. Even Ian himself looked exhausted and wanted to go home earlier to rest. novelbin
