Chapter 933
It was totally unnecessary. Old Mrs. Constance knew that Sophia had a clear head, and she was quickto pick up hints. So, Old Mrs. Constance said nothing more.
Also, Matilda stayed for lunch. novelbin
While eating, Sophia mentioned that she met Lady Jennifer, but neither of them said hello to eachother.
Old Mrs. Constance shook her head helplessly. “I’m sure things will improve once Dylan finds agirlfriend and settles down. To be honest, there’s no need to be so hung up on these things. They’re toonarrow-minded, to say the least.”
Sophia took a shrimp and peeled it. "I’m not hung up on it. Anyway, I’ve never had a good relationshipwith them, so I think it doesn't matter how I behave toward them.”
Old Mrs. Constance thought about it and commented, "Actually, I used to think that you and Dylan area very good match."
Matilda quickly said, "Mom, don't say that. If John hears this, he will be angry."
Her address of Old Mrs. Constance as ‘Mom’ was so natural that both Sophia and Old Mrs. Constancedidn't pay much attention to it.
Old Mrs. Constance smiled to herself. "I’m only saying this in John’s absence. I definitely wouldn’t dareto say this if he’s here." Then, Old Mrs. Constance continued, "You should be aware that at that time,John’s grandfather was seriously ill, and he was worried about Sophia. At first, he actually wanted to
entrust Sophia to Dylan’s family. At that time, Dylan didn't seem to be against the idea, but he wentback and discussed it with his parents, who were unwilling to accept her. Dylan had always listened tohis parents, so he came over to reject the suggestion. But when he rejected it, I could see that he wasa bit hesitant."
At this, Old Mrs. Constance smiled again. "To be honest, considering Dylan's attitude back then, ifJohn's grandfather had insisted on him marrying Sophia, Dylan would probably agree to it. The boy iskind and compassionate."
Old Mrs. Constance then glanced at Sophia before adding, "But later, John’s grandfather discussedwith him, and he agreed first, so we thought that since he had agreed, then we should not press theissue with Dylan."
Sophia pursed her mouth and did not speak. Meanwhile, Matilda said, "Yes, yes. At that time, John wasthe one who suggested breaking off the engagement with Isabelle. I didn't agree to it back then, butJohn straight up went to the Bailey Residence and broke it off. I was so angry that I argued with himover this matter. He told me then that he had no feelings for Isabelle, and he didn't feel sad to lose her."
Matilda laughed at herself and continued, "I was quite dumb back then. At that time, John had told mevery clearly that he didn't like Isabelle, but I was the one who insisted on matching them together.Then, I kept talking about how great they were together in front of you, as well as how John had alwayssaid he felt reluctant to break up with Isabelle. But the truth was that John never said that."
Blinking, Sophia thought about it. Matilda had indeed said many times before that John was reluctant tobreak things off with Isabelle and he regretted his decision. However, she had never taken it seriouslyand assumed that Matilda was just saying nonsense.
After they chatted for a while, Sophia's phone rang. She fumbled for it and took a look, then flashed thescreen at the two older women. "It’s from John."
Old Mrs. Constance and Matilda both smiled. "Sure enough."
Squeezing the phone, Sophia thought for a while. “I'll go out and pick it up. We’re gonna talk for a bit.”
Old Mrs. Constance waved her hand. "Go, go. We don't really want to hear what you two have to say.I’m sure it's nothing more than sweet nothings that young people say to each other.”
Actually, Sophia didn't want to say those sweet nothings to John. She just wanted to talk to him aboutthe things that had been brewing in her heart over the past two days.
John had looked so pitiful in the parking lot this morning. Thinking about it now, she still felt a little bituneasy and regretful of her attitude toward him.
