Matilda laughed it off and said, “This is just the beginning of your problems, and there will be a lot morecoming in the future. So, you should be like me and learn how to let go. Sometimes, things can behardly evitable, and there is nothing they can do about it.”
In fact, William had also stayed in the company before when he got too busy back then. As aworkaholic, he would even be missing from home for a few days in a row. Needless to say, that didn’tsit well with Matilda, as she argued with William and told him she didn’t want a married life like that.Although William made a promise to change every time, he still did the same thing again and again.When arguing and complaining didn’t seem to work, Matilda began to get over it and accept theunchangeable fact. It was at that moment that Matilda realized that she had also made sacrifices inthose days before they separated.
Sophia responded with an affirmative hum. “I called John this morning, and he said he might be backearlier today.”
Hearing her daughter-in-law’s words, she grinned as she said, “Both of you are still young. When youreach my age, you probably won’t care whether he comes back.”
Old Mrs. Constance sat there with a chuckle. “Are you sure that's really how you feel? William basicallygoes to your place every day. So, I’m pretty curious to see the look on your face if he doesn’t show upone day.” novelbin
Faced with the funny comment, Matilda paused before she burst into laughter. “Oh, come on, Old Mrs.Constance! You didn’t have to embarrass me.”
After that, both ladies laughed in amusement while Sophia sat aside and forced a smile on her face.
John hasn’t sent me a text since he called this morning. I wonder how he is doing over there. A fewmoments later, Sophia was reminded of Isabelle’s missed call the day before. Could that woman havesomething she wanted to tell me?
Soon, it was noon by the time Sophia and Old Mrs. Constance were about to be done with their chatter.At that moment, Old Mrs. Constance felt a little sleepy, so she had the maid help her walk to thebedroom. Meanwhile, Matilda made her way to the kitchen to see what they were cooking for lunch.
At the same time, Sophia headed outside and gave Isabelle a call, but to no avail, as no one picked upthe phone. Is this revenge from her? Fine, I’m not going to call back anyway. Unwilling to give in,Sophia refused to phone Isabelle a second time. Nonetheless, she couldn’t shake off the thought thatIsabelle might have had something she wanted to tell her the day before. Perhaps she no longer thinksit’s important to say what she wanted to after the missed call. Then, Sophia took a look at the time andpondered. It’s almost noon. I guess maybe I should call John up to check on him.
Soon, John answered the call and responded with a calm voice before Sophia could ask her question.“I’m a little busy at the moment, but I’ll be back by noon. So, don’t worry.”
After hearing his reply, Sophia’s mind was finally put to ease. She then said, “Your mom is here, soperhaps you could invite your dad along as well.”
In response, John gave an affirmative reply with a confident voice.
Knowing that he was busy, Sophia hung up the call without saying much and went back inside thehouse. Feeling much better, she went to the kitchen and looked at Matilda, who was busy preparinglunch. “I’m going to take a nap now, so I’ll see you all later.”
Matilda responded with an affirmative hum, without even looking at Sophia. “Sure, go ahead. I’ll let youknow when it’s time for lunch.”
“Alright,” Sophia replied, standing still for a few seconds before she headed upstairs. As soon as shereturned to her room, she reached for her phone and called Logan to thank him. I don’t know whatLogan did or said to John last night, but I guess I owe him my thanks for having my back.
