Female Novel
Chapter 781
William was a very sentimental person. If it weren’t for his feelings for Matilda over so many years, hewouldn’t have endured her attitude in the past. Later, his feelings for her were almost worn out, so hethought that it would be for the best if they got divorced. However, she had changed almost overnight.
When he saw her, his heart had pounded hard and fast for some inexplicable reason. He was no springchicken anymore, so it would be embarrassing for him to tell anyone about it.
Anyway, it was an extraordinary feeling. novelbin
But if someone told him to reconcile with Matilda immediately, he wouldn’t dare to do so either. Thetrauma of the past was still there. Even if she had changed, he didn’t believe that she could changecompletely.
As he chatted with Old Mrs. Constance, Sophia and Matilda both came down the stairs, followed byJohn, who was looking quite amused.
Matilda mumbled as she came down the stairs, “I did actually wake up once but watching her sleep sowell, I felt drowsy again and fell back asleep. I never sleep so much, alright? It has never beenpossible.”
Sophia was a bit unhappy at that, so she swiveled around to look at Matilda. “How could you blame mefor this kind of thing? You never fail to impress me.” She was a little angry and added, “So what if weslept all afternoon? It’s such a normal thing to do. Why do you have to make it sound like it’s somethingextremely shameful?”
Matilda glanced at Sophia. “It’s normal for you to sleep all day, but it’s not for me.” The two of themdidn’t look like people from two different generations; they appeared more like sisters instead.
When Matilda came down and saw William, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and greeted, “You’reback.”
Seeing her, William smiled. “It doesn’t matter. You should rest when you’re tired. No one will mind.”
Matilda pursed her lips and didn’t say a word. The Constance Family used to have many rules, butmost of the rules were set by herself. Sophia was even scolded by her before for sleeping too much inthe afternoon. Now she herself was sleeping in the afternoon too. Even though no one said anything toher, and even Sophia didn’t mind about it, she still felt rather mortified in her heart. It was like the potcalling the kettle black.
Since dinner wasn’t ready yet, all of them went to sit on the sofa. Sophia leaned back on the sofa lazily,squinting as she listened to John talking about the company. She was a little absent-minded. Afterbeing lost in thought for a while, she pricked up her ears and heard John saying that he had finallycaught the instigator behind Matilda’s injury.
However, the man was probably not the ultimate mastermind but just another pawn. However, now thatthey had caught him, it would be easier to trace him to the mastermind.
Sophia sat up. “Is it Old Leopard?”
John nodded. “It’s him. He is as slick as a man can be. The one that my subordinates had caughtbefore was a fake. This guy knows that he’s doing shady business and was worried that we would belooking for him, so he deliberately arranged for a stand-in to divert attention away from himself.”
Laughing, he continued, “He’s quite savvy. After being caught by my subordinates, he still pretendednot to be the actual man himself. His acting skills are really something.”
Intrigued by the man, Sophia immediately asked, “Did you lock him up? I want to meet him.”
John paused briefly. He immediately remembered Sophia’s latest masterpiece and said ratherhelplessly, “This man doesn’t have a great physique. If you go, I think he’ll literally die in your hands.Hence, I think it’s best you skip this.”
Hearing that, Sophia instantly became displeased. “Are you even listening to yourself? What are youeven saying? He got someone to harm me and even hurt Madam Flintstone. I have to go and see formyself who it is, right? My request is completely reasonable, understand?”
John was well aware of how silver-tongued Sophia was. He raised his hand and patted the top ofSophia’s head. “Will you please let me deal with this matter by myself? Otherwise, I’ll feel useless tohave to depend on you for everything.”
