Female Novel
Chapter 673
Matilda snorted out loudly and looked at him as though he was an idiot. “If she really wants to remarryyou because of the baby, she wouldn’t have waited until yesterday to break the news to you. Listenhere, my silly boy. She was planning to hide this from you in the beginning. Don’t think too highly ofyourself because she isn’t even interested in you.”
Casting her an unhappy look, he blurted, “You wouldn’t speak so badly of me in the past.”
That was when she shut her trap. There were many things in the past which shouldn’t be brought up,and whenever she recalled the things she had done before, she would unwittingly cringe and feeluneasy.
In the past, she had been too unreasonable, but still, not everything was her fault.
Pursing her lips, she finished her tea before saying in a soft voice, “During this period when I’m livingby myself, I can’t fall asleep at night and that got me thinking, what had I done before that resulted inthis turn in my life now? I had such a good life before this, so I couldn’t get it at all.”
Previously, when she was in the Constance Family, putting aside the amount of envy from other peoplethat status brought her, people had to show her respect; even Old Mrs. Constance would usuallytolerate her.
Despite that, when it came to the end, Old Mrs. Constance was the most determined one to abandonher. Even though William seemed to be hesitating, she could tell that his patience for her had worn out.
Exactly when did these people change their attitudes toward her? She thought about this over and overin her head, and felt that it was around the time when Sophia returned to live in the old residence
again. During that period, Sophia had zero regards for her and their conflicts turned even more severe.Thereafter, Old Mrs. Constance kept reprimanding her.
At the thought of this, she would be reminded of that kick Sophia gave her, and it was humiliating thatshe was kicked by a youngster. Nevertheless, looking at it objectively now, Matilda thought that Sophiawas also partly responsible for it even though she couldn’t place all the blame on her.
Hmm, I should really find time to speak about our past feud with Sophia.
Turning to look at her, John broke into a smile after a while. “Dad should be seeing the way you arenow. You’re a changed person.”
Annoyance flashed across her face at the mention of William. “Don’t bring up your father. I saw himyesterday when I was out.”
Surprised, John asked, “And?”
Sighing, she said, “He didn’t see me. He was shopping in the mall, probably getting something forYolanda, and I left after taking a look at him.”
After some contemplation, John decided against saying anything as he wasn’t exactly sure what wasgoing on between William and Yolanda. Personality-wise, Yolanda was indeed better than Matilda, andmen tend to lean toward gentle and thoughtful women. Even if William was interested in Yolanda, Johncould actually understand the reason behind it.

Since relationships were a problem each person had to sort out by themselves, John didn’t want to beinvolved in their matters. In the midst of their chitchat, John heard the sound of the window openingfrom upstairs, so he hurriedly turned to look upward.
Sure enough, it was Sophia who had woken up. Pulling back the curtains, she opened the windowsand leaned out while scratching her head.
John grinned. “Wash up now, and then we can eat.”
Sophia appeared groggy with half-closed eyes as she stared at the both of them downstairs for a fewseconds before grunting and disappearing from the window.
Placing a hand on John’s shoulder, Matilda said, “You’re going to be a father soon. I don’t knowwhether I should be happy or not about it. In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, but it feelsjust like yesterday when I recall how you were next to me when you were just a boy.”
