Female Novel
Chapter 694
Matilda had one question she wanted to ask. “How’s Yolanda doing? Better?” William froze, thenMatilda smiled. “Don’t think too much about it. I’m just asking.”
A while later, he answered, “She’s healing up now, though she’ll be needing a clutch. She can handledaily tasks though.”
“That’s good to hear,” Matilda answered, then they said nothing more.
William looked back at her a few times before explaining, “Yolanda’s been living alone, so it’s hard forher, and she didn’t even tell her family about this, so I wanted to help her.”
“Oh.” Matilda looked at him. “You don’t have to tell me about it. You must have your own reasons. Iwould have minded in the past, but not now. We aren’t a couple, so this isn’t what I should care about.You don’t have to tell me either.” She looked ahead. “To be honest, if you were to ask me whether Iregret my actions, I’d say no, I don’t. William, in the past, you were nice to me, and I know I’ve beenunreasonable, but my reaction toward Yolanda was normal. You guys were the ones who didn’t careabout how I felt.” Then she shook her head. “Forget it. Why did I even say that? It’s all in the past now.”novelbin
William put his hands in his pockets, and he was at a loss for words. There was no need for anyexplanation now that they were at this point. It’d be useless, so they walked around for a while morebefore going back to Sophia’s home. Ms. Cannon had prepared dinner, and she was usheringeveryone into the dining room.
John helped Belinda up, but she waved him away and beckoned at Sophia. “I only want Sophia to helpme. She’s just so lovable.”
John smiled. So everyone hates me now, huh?
Nobody said a word during dinner. Back in the Constance Residence, everyone only focused on eatingas well. Old habits die hard indeed.
Usually, Sophia and Matilda would be chatting over dinner, but since Belinda and William were here,they felt obligated to keep quiet.
Matilda kept reminding Sophia what she should eat throughout dinner to make sure she was gettingenough nutrients. Belinda looked up at her, but Matilda only cared about herself and Sophia.
The dinner didn’t take long, and everyone put their forks down after a while. Belinda looked at Ms.Cannon. “Nice cooking. With you here, Sophia’s in good hands.”

Ms. Cannon smiled. “The madam asked me here to take care of the young madam.”
Sophia and Matilda felt uncomfortable being addressed that way. Madam? Young madam? We’redivorced women for god’s sake.
Belinda nodded before looking at Matilda. “It has been a while, Matilda. How is life treating you?” sheasked formally.
Matilda nodded. “It’s fine. There’s nothing to do here, so I kill time all day.”
Belinda replied, “That’s good, that’s good.”
She didn’t know what else to say.
Then they went to the living room. John sat beside Sophia and was peeling the grapes for her. Sophiadidn’t feel like eating, for her belly was full after dinner. Unfortunately, John was persistent, and sinceBelinda was here, she couldn’t refuse him outright, so she had a grape or two to keep things amicable.
