Female Novel
Chapter 539
Sophia looked into the mirror and sneered. Sure, go ahead and try. Do you think I care?
In the next few days, John really didn't show up, while Sophia's shop was still very busy.
The matriarch of the Blackwell Family, Kate Blackwell, came several times. At first, she complained thatSophia hadn’t visited her, but when she saw that Sophia was really busy, she stopped badgering her.
Kate said that Fabian Blackwell’s family kept talking about her. Instead of asking Sophia to call themher parents, she just told her, “Your godfather and godmother think about you all the time. Even Fabianbrought you up twice, saying that his sister never goes back after the last time you had a mealtogether.”
Sophia didn’t know if what Kate said was true, so she could only smile. “You’ve seen how busy I amyourself. There’s no way I can leave the shop considering how busy it is.”
Thus, Kate could only nod. “Yes, I can see how busy you are now that I’m here to visit you.” Then, sheslowly let out a sigh and continued her topic. “Fabian also mentioned that your relationship with John isvery different, and that you two have a special connection. Girl, why haven't I heard you mention thisbefore?”
Sophia was taken aback for a moment, wondering if Fabian Blackwell was trying to give the old womana hint about something. Hence, she hesitated and replied, “Well, my relationship with John isn’t thatspecial. I didn’t feel the need to tell you.”
Sitting in her chair, Kate looked outside the window. “John, well, I watched him grow up too. But mynovelbin
health hasn’t been well for the past two years, so I’ve not really kept in contact with the ConstanceFamily. John is a good kid though, despite his rather aloof temperament. He is truly a good man.”
Sophia had no comment about that, so she could only nod her head. “Yes, I guess he’s a very goodman.”
Robin glanced at Kate and nodded as well. “Mr. Constance looked like a nice guy. He came here a fewtimes before and was very polite.”
Kate agreed. “That boy has always been really obedient since he was a kid. He followed the path hisfamily laid out for him without any protest, so it is in his nature to be reserved. Oh, by the way, John ismarried. Haven’t you seen his wife before?”
At that, the old woman added, “During that banquet, John didn’t bring his wife along. I really wished tosee the eldest Young Mistress of the Constance Family.”
Sophia looked away; she wasn’t sure how to react to that. After all, John had no wife now. He only hadan ex-wife, who was standing in front of the old woman right now.
Robin too felt a little embarrassed. Turning her head to glance at Sophia, she felt like laughing.
However, Kate did not notice their expressions and continued saying, “John should be a really goodman. Don’t be tricked by his aloofness; I’m sure he’s someone who really pampers his wife.”
Sophia almost burst out laughing. This old lady really doesn’t hear anything through the grapevine; sheonly relies on her own subjective judgment in everything. I’m sure I’m the most qualified person tojudge whether John is a good husband or not. That jerk was really inhuman back then!
The old woman sat there for a while before leaving.
She was no longer sprightly, so it was easy for her to feel tired after spending too much time outdoors.Besides, the Blackwell Family would worry about her if she was out too long.
After the matriarch of the Blackwell Family left, Robin was a little emotional as she said, “Thisgrandmother of yours looks like a nice woman. She is pretty good to you.”
Sophia thought about the Constance Family and how Old Mr. Constance treated her so well that shemade a mistake in her judgment and thought that everyone in the family would accept her. But now,look at what happened to me after his passing.
The Blackwell Family was similar to the Constance Family; the only one who was truly willing to accepther was probably the matriarch of the Blackwell Family.
