Matilda agreed and added, “I’ll give you a call soon.” After that, she hung up the call, while William putaway his phone, staring at the residence’s front gate with a smile.
In the meantime, Matilda took longer than usual to dress herself up. In the end, she picked a long dresswith a plain color and tied up her hair, looking especially elegant. Once she was done, she immediatelygave William a call and told him her location.
William said, “Alright. I just happen to be someplace nearby. I’ll head there right now.” After drivingaround the area for a bit, he pulled up outside the Flintstone Residence for Matilda to get into his car.As soon as he started the engine, Matilda asked, “Where are we going?”
In fact, William had already figured out where they should go while waiting for Matilda. “You’ll knowwhen you get there.”
To that, Matilda responded with silence while typing a reply to Sophia’s message. Being a busybody,Sophia was curious to know whether William had made his move, so she texted Matilda to find outabout it. In fact, the message had been received back when Matilda was still at home, but she couldn’tfind an opportunity to reply. Besides, Old Mrs. Flintstone was unhappy when Matilda told her that sheneeded to go out, instantly showing her daughter a long face.
In the end, Richard defused the situation, saying that he didn’t mind that. After all, he understoodMatilda’s situation to settle an urgent matter, so he patiently put an end to the conflict. While she wasn’tsure whether Richard sensed anything wrong, she was certain that Old Mrs. Flintstone had smelled arat. Mom may be old, but she is shrewd. I bet she probably knows something fishy is going on whenshe saw me excusing myself to answer the call. At the thought of that, Matilda couldn’t help but feel
intimidated by her mother’s imminent wrath.
As a matter of fact, her mother was fed up with her, especially the time when she stayed in theConstance Residence. Besides, she also accused Matilda of being too impulsive as the latter only hadherself to blame for the dilemma she landed herself in. At the thought of that, Matilda suddenlyunderstood why Old Mrs. Flintstone was so angry with her as she was able to recognize herrecklessness at last. Nonetheless, Matilda couldn’t bring herself to turn down William, just like how theman was unable to turn his back on her back then, despite her unreasonable demands. Still, she couldfinally heave a sigh of relief after getting away from Richard. When she thought of the situation earlier,she was reminded of the intense awkwardness she felt when Richard was around.
When John was ready to leave for lunch break, he swung by William’s office to check on him, only torealize that he wasn’t back. Besides that, he noticed the documents on his desk, and one of them wasleft open. Upon noticing that, he reckoned his father must have left when he was going through thepapers halfway. After staring at that document for a moment, he left his office and hit the road, makinghis way back to the Constance Residence.
As soon as he got out of his car, John headed to the car park, where he saw no signs of William’s car.It looks like he is still out there. I guess it’s not hard to figure out what is keeping him occupied for solong. Knowing where William had gone, John walked away and headed to the house when he ran intohis Aunt Jennifer, who happened to be coming out of the garden.
Noticing her elegant outfit, John deduced that she was going somewhere. When she caught sight ofJohn, she was surprised too, but soon, she chuckled and said, “Oh, John. It looks like you’re gettingcloser and closer with Sophia. Look at you, coming all the way back here just to check on Sophiaduring lunch break.”
After greeting her, John didn’t say anything much, to which the woman responded with a grunt. “I’m nottrying to nag, John, but you and Sophia need to get remarried. Without marriage to bind you both,anything could happen.”
John pouted and said, “Well, the way I see it, marriage is not as important as having a child. That pieceof certificate won’t make a difference if the worst case scenario happens, but things will be different ifwe have a child.”
Lady Jennifer stared at John and chuckled. “Haha. How open-minded you are!”novelbin
