Female Novel
Chapter 808
After having breakfast, John went to work, while Old Mrs. Constance and Matilda stayed downstairs.When Sophia came downstairs, Matilda walked over and said, “I had wanted to wake you up, but Johnsaid that you had awakened, and you’d come downstairs when you’re hungry.”
Sophia nodded. “I wasn’t hungry, so I didn’t want to move.”
Gazing at Sophia’s belly, Matilda said, “You have to exercise moderately. When I—” She caughtherself, for she didn’t think she should say this here.
Previously, Old Mrs. Constance had insisted that Matilda and William should be separated, eventhough she also helped fend off Yolanda. However, Matilda wasn’t sure what was on her formermother-in-law’s mind, so she decided against saying what she had wanted to say to spare them theembarrassment.
Standing in the doorway, Old Mrs. Constance had heard what Matilda said, but she just took a look ather without responding.
Since Sophia had gone to the dining hall to have her breakfast, Matilda decided to follow her. In fact,she had to return to Flintstone Residence later. Since the Flintstones had found out that she had stayedover in Constance Residence, her mother called to ask her what happened.
Well, it’s hard to explain this matter over the phone, so I’d better go back and tell them. Maybe my momdoesn’t think it’s appropriate for me to come here, since William and I are divorced. I could sense thatshe didn’t approve of my action, Matilda thought.
Previously, she didn’t read too much into it, but after the phone call, she had to agree with her mother.Since she and William were in a complicated relationship currently, they might invite some gossip fromoutsiders if they kept in touch too frequently.
Looking at Matilda, Sophia said, “Have your family members called to ask why you’re staying here?Maybe they’re upset or something.” She had just recalled what happened with the Flinstonespreviously.
With a smile, Matilda told her honestly, “I think so. My mom didn’t sound too happy over the phone, soI’m going home to talk to her later.”
After taking a look at Old Mrs. Constance, Sophia shifted her attention back to Matilda and said in alowered voice, “Well, you can take this opportunity to go back and find out what your former husbandthinks of it.”
Startled, Matilda batted her eyes, as she never thought about it before.
Sophia grinned. “Based on my observation, he still has feelings for you. But you’ve been progressingtoo slowly now, and it’s not helping to get you remarried with him. So, I think you can give it a try.”
Since it wasn’t the time to get embarrassed, Matilda pouted her lips and asked, “Do you think it’llwork?”
With a serious expression, Sophia replied, “Yes, you have to trust me. Don’t worry. I’ll help you observeyour ex husband’s reaction over here.”
After some consideration, Matilda found her suggestion feasible, so she nodded. “Alright. I’ll go homeand find out what my family members think of it. Then, I’ll call you to discuss what to do next.”
Sophia nodded, and their agreement had been reached. After breakfast, Matilda packed up some stuffand went home.
Standing in the garden in front of the main building, Old Mrs. Constance heaved a sigh. “Actually,Matilda has become a really nice person.”
Sophia chuckled. “Well, you reminded me of her past self. She was really unbearable.” novelbin
Old Mrs. Constance guffawed. “I could never have imagined that both of you would get so close toeach other one day.”
Tilting her head, Sophia smiled. “I didn’t expect that either. In the past, I really hated her, but at thesame time, I knew that she just didn’t like the fact that I had married John. I could tell that she wasn’t abad person by observing her interaction with Isabelle.”
Compared to the Bailey Family, the Constance Family was richer and more powerful. So, Matildatreated Isabelle well because she really liked her, rather than because she wanted to butter her up.
