Female Novel
Chapter 772
Matilda didn’t think that before, but when William picked up the call just now, she suddenly marveled atYolanda’s drive and purposefulness. Such a woman could probably get whatever she wants, right? It’sjust that she wants William now... novelbin
Sophia turned around and looked at Matilda. “It’s okay, don’t worry. We’re all here for you, and we’ll beable to take her down.”
Matilda was amused by her words. “You’re talking like it’s a war and not a matter of the heart.”
Finding it funny, Sophia chuckled. “Well, even matters of the heart require proper strategies and plansto succeed. You’re in an excellent position right now, so there’s nothing for you to be afraid of. She’sthe one who should be afraid. If you become nervous now, you’ll be giving her a chance to attack.”
Matilda thought for a while, then vaguely nodded. “Okay, I got it.”
John and William chatted for a short while downstairs before the latter left. He did not bid goodbye toMatilda but simply drove off instead.
Standing at the window, Sophia almost cursed him out loud. This wooden-headed guy really doesn’tunderstand anything about relationships, does he? He’s at such an old age now, yet he’s still soobtuse. Just thinking of the two of them makes me worried sick.
After a while, John came up and asked Matilda if she felt discomfort anywhere. Since Matilda’s backwas already applied with medication, she didn’t feel any pain now. So, she said she was okay and thenasked him what he and William were talking about downstairs.
Smiling, John looked up at Sophia, who was standing by the window, and said, “Nothing much. Dadwants me to bring Sophia back to Constance Residence. He said that it’s safer there.”
Matilda nodded. “That is true.”
John then added, “Then, he also spoke about your situation here.”
Matilda paused for a while. Before she could speak, Sophia spoke first, “What did he say? Quick, tellus.”
Sophia looked like if she was dissatisfied with what William said, she would go and settle scores withhim. John glanced at Sophia and said, “Don’t be anxious. Come and sit down.”
Therefore, Sophia slowly wandered over and sat down by Matilda’s bed.
John went on to say, “Dad said that you have a good relationship with Sophia now, but she isn’t ongood terms with the others back at the Constance Residence, so she may not be able to adapt to lifethere if she goes back alone all of a sudden. He hopes that you’ll follow her there. Besides, he said thathe’d announce to everyone that he’s the one who wants you back so that you’ll not suffer anyhumiliation. But I suppose he’s too embarrassed to tell you all this, so he let me pass the message on.What do you think?”
An ‘oh’ left Sophia’s lips as she quickly replied for Matilda, “Okay, sure. It’s settled then. MadamFlintstone will go back. She will. Don’t worry.”
She then looked at Matilda. “Right? We’ll go back together, right?”
Matilda pursed her lips, trying her utmost to contain the expression on her face before nodding.“Alright.”
Actually, everyone could see that she still had feelings for William. Her going back this time was thegreatest opportunity for them to get back together.
Having said that, John and Sophia went back to their room. As soon as they entered the room, Johnhugged Sophia and whispered, “I feel uncomfortable.”
Sophia naturally knew what John was talking about. She patted John’s hands that were holding her.“Go away.”
As her voice was weak, it did not deter John at all. He didn’t let go but continued to embrace her.“Sophia, you like me too, right?”
Sophia exhaled. “Liking someone isn’t the be-all and end-all, John. You’re a grown man now, so don’ttell me that you don’t understand this. I’m already way past my teenage years, so all my choices are nolonger based on pure infatuation. I’ll pick the most suitable one.”
With those words, John was again disheartened.
