Female Novel
Chapter 548
Zack smacked his lips. “Poor Madam Flintstone.”
Sophia sneered, “She deserves it. The next time you have this kind of thought, you should browse theInternet to see how aggressive Madam Flintstone was when she was kicking up a fuss at the hospitalbefore. She didn’t look pitiful at all then.”
Zack laughed and said, “Now that she has ended up like this, do you feel especially relieved? Likeyou’ve gotten your revenge?”
Sophia gave it a careful thought. “At first, I did. But when she came over here and ordered me to helpher contact John for a meetup, I thought that I’ve really dwelled too much on her. Why should I botherabout someone like that? Isn’t it better to live my life well?”
Zack stared at Sophia and remarked, “You seem to get wiser by the day.”
Robin glanced into the shop next to her. “I think Madam Flintstone’s pretty polite toward others, but shedoesn’t like Sophia and is very malicious toward her.”
“Yes.” Sophia sighed. “I mean, I was the one who ruined her son anyway.”
All three laughed at that.
Inside the shop, Matilda was sitting across John. “John, do you also blame me for kicking up a fuss atthe hospital?”
Looking at Matilda being so despondent, John felt his heart soften. He answered, “No, I don't blameyou. No matter what you do, it's your own business. To put it bluntly, you need to be responsible foryour own affairs. I can't interfere with anything.”
Matilda lowered her gaze. “This just means that you do blame me.” Then, she changed the topic andsaid, “But I won’t believe that your dad doesn’t have anything to do with that woman at all. I’ll neverbelieve it! They have been entangled with each other for so many years and have always been incontact. It’s natural for me to lose control back then. You know me. I’ve always had a hot temper.”
Matilda spoke so much, yet John just grunted mildly in response. It was clear that he really didn’t wantto talk to Matilda about this matter since he couldn’t make her understand anything. novelbin
Throughout all these years, no matter what happened, Matilda had never reflected on her own actionsand always laid the blame on others instead.
Matilda sighed. “Well, I didn't expect your dad and I to be together for so long anyway. I guess he’ll gettogether with that woman in the coming days.”
John's voice was very light as he said, “At the moment, I don’t think he’ll do that. But if you continue tomake a fuss, I believe they’ll probably get together soon.”
Matilda was stunned. She realized that by saying this, John was putting some responsibility on her aswell, so she couldn’t help but rebuke, “They must have something going on between them since a longtime ago. Otherwise, no matter how much fuss I kick up, it wouldn’t be possible for them to gettogether.”
John gave her a slight smile. “Okay. If you want to think so, then so be it. After all, it's pointless for you
to think about it either way.”
Matilda immediately shut up at that. It was hard for her to meet up with John, so she didn’t want toargue with him and cause a scene. Falling silent, she pressed her lips together hard, which did makeher look a little pitiful.
John turned his gaze away from her and looked out the window at Sophia, who was standing on theside of the road nearby. Sophia and Zack were chatting away. Suddenly, Sophia laughed a littleexaggeratedly and even raised her hand to hit Zack lightly.
At this moment, John saw someone coming out of the opposite shop which sold floorboards. It was ayoung man and he was walking toward Sophia. Because of Sophia’s pleasant personality and goodlooks, she had a good reputation around here. On the day her shop opened for business, she gave freedesserts away to the shops around her as a token of goodwill, so the neighboring shops were alsohappy to do business with her.
