William laughed nervously. “You guys carry on. I’ll take this call.” He then went to the yard with hisphone in hand.
Sophia smiled and went on with her dinner. “Ms. Bloom knows about Mr. Constance’s every move,doesn’t she?” she said.
Matilda looked at Sophia, surprised, and John shared the same sentiment. “You’re saying that Ms.Bloom’s the caller?”
Sophia wasn’t entirely sure, for she didn’t see the name. “Most probably,” she concluded.
John looked at Matilda. “Maybe something came up. I think Dad’s just helping her. You guys know he’sa kind guy who’d help anyone. It’s going to be the same even if it’s not Ms. Bloom, so don’t worry.”
