Female Novel
Chapter 80
Perhaps Sophia had heard it wrongly, but his words somewhat touched her.
At this point, she quickly turned away and looked outside the window, pursing her lips and refusing tosay a word.
After putting Sophia and John's suitcases in the trunk, Zack got in the passenger seat while Mrs.Constance and Isabelle were still standing next to their sedan.
Even though Isabelle looked fine, Mrs. Constance did not look too pleased.
Leaning on the car window, Sophia saw the reluctant look on Mrs. Constance’s face as she got in thecar, and how hard she then slammed the car door.
The sight of this made Sophia laugh.
Their car took off first while Mrs. Constance’s car followed.
Throughout the car ride, no one was talking, and the car was heading toward the ConstanceResidence.
It was a familiar route for Sophia.
Looking at the view outside the windows on both sides of the car, Sophia felt rather despondent.
When she moved out of the Constance Residence, she thought that she would never return, but look athow quickly things changed.
The car kept on going until they entered the front yard of the Constance Residence, which was situatedhalfway up a hill; the surrounding area was extremely quiet.
As Old Mr. and Mrs. Constance both loved the countryside, there were many trees and plants aroundthe Constance Residence.
Behind the Constance Residence was a bamboo forest. It was very well managed and it made theenvironment feel quiet and peaceful.
Sophia opened the door herself when Old Mrs. Constance was seen standing at the entrance of themain building and watching them while a maid stood next to her.
Sophia saw Old Mrs. Constance the moment she turned around.
During her time being married to John of just under a year, Old Mrs. Constance was impartial towardher.
She never gave her any trouble but neither did she ever protect her.
Hence, she felt the same toward Old Mrs. Constance. It was neither cold nor hot.
After Zack helped move their suitcases from the car, with the help of the maid, Old Mrs. Constanceslowly walked up to them.
As all the members of the Constance Family were now at the office, this place seemed to be unusually
quiet.
Old Mrs. Constance looked at Sophia and said rather calmly, "You're here."
Sophia grunted. "Old Mrs. Constance, good to see you."
It did not take long for her to change the way she addressed her as she used to call her Grandma.
Old Mrs. Constance sighed and turned to Zack.
Since Zack was a frequent visitor, Old Mrs. Constance knew who he was.
She then commented, "You just got off the plane, didn't you? Eat something before you go back."
Zack gave Sophia a look and exhaled. He then conveniently accepted the invitation.
Now, the car that Mrs. Constance was in slowly pulled up, and Mrs. Constance seemed rather nervousas she got out of the car right after it stopped.
After that, she went to the back of the car and dragged Isabelle over when Isabelle had just steppedout of the car.
Mrs. Constance then walked up to John. "John, come in the house and eat something. We'll talk whenwe eat. You must be tired."
It was too obvious what Mrs. Constance was trying to do, and even Old Mrs. Constance could nolonger take it.
Old Mrs. Constance then sighed, looking slightly stern. "Matilda." novelbin
Mrs. Constance paused and turned to Old Mrs. Constance. She then pursed her lips and moved aside.
Old Mrs. Constance looked at Isabelle rather blandly before turning around. "Let's go in. You all mustbe tired. We'll eat something before you all get some rest."
They all walked into the main building as Zack carried Sophia's suitcase and a maid came to help carryJohn's.
The dining room in the main building was not too big given the number of people living at theConstance Residence.
However, everyone did not usually eat together.
All the dishes in the dining room had already been served on the table. Without even going in, onecould tell how much food there was on the table just from a quick glance.
After the maid and Zack placed the suitcases in the corner, they all went into the dining room together.
The Constance Family was particular about eating, so they handed out a hot towel to everyone to wipetheir hands.
Meanwhile, Sophia found a seat and sat down right away, completely ignoring everyone else aroundher.
This seat was where she used to sit, which was right next to John.
Mrs. Constance was stunned by that. She then frowned as she stared at Sophia.
How could Sophia sit down and start wiping her hands before the older ones did?
Old Mrs. Constance gave Sophia a look as well, but she did not get as annoyed as Mrs. Constance.
Sitting in her seat, Sophia proceeded to wipe her hands. "Are you guys sitting down? I'm starving. Idon't want to wait any longer."
She thought it would be ridiculous for her to entertain some meaningless rituals with a bunch of peoplewho were no longer related to her, especially after having not eaten anything since the morning whileon the plane.
Meanwhile, John also sat down and waved at everyone. "Everyone, please take a seat. We haven'teaten anything since this morning. We're indeed hungry."
Old Mrs. Constance was helped by a maid as she slowly sat down before Mrs. Constance followedsuit.
Isabelle was seated opposite John, and they two could see each other as long as they lifted their heads—Sophia and Mrs. Constance were in a similar position.
