Female Novel
Chapter 979
Matilda merely chuckled without giving a reply, which was a silent admission to Sophia’s guess.
Sophia smacked her lips. “That’s good too. Now that you have declared your relationship with Mr.Constances’ cooperation, I believe that Yolanda will know what to do next.”
Then, she placed her hand on Matilda’s shoulder. “I’m a little curious though. Did Yolanda contact himlately?”
With her eyes fixed on the comments, Matilda’s lips curled upward. “She has been calling him, butshe’s a smart woman and did not say anything problematic in the call. They simply chatted with eachother like friends.”
In the beginning, Matilda would take the chance to speak beside William during such phoneconversations in order to make her presence clear to Yolanda.
For the first few times, Matilda could sense Yolanda’s awkwardness in the presence of a third person.
However, after a couple of times, when Yolanda called William, she’d ask if Matilda was around andeven greet her.
Yolanda was very skilled and impeccable in her act, which was something observed by Matilda.
On the other hand, Sophia was a little perplexed. “If she acts this way, you can’t even accuse her ofbehaving out of line.”
“That’s the point,” Matilda replied. “This is exactly why it’s hard to deal with her.”
From the start, Yolanda behaved as if she was innocent and was not going after anything.
In contrast, Matilda only knew how to make a scene to get William’s attention in the past. It backfiredand made him think of her as an unreasonable woman.
After that, Sophia had nothing more to say, so she stared at William’s Facebook timeline.
In the comment section of the photo, they could spot Yolanda’s comment.
She sent a smiling emoji with a comment that read, ‘You look kinda handsome in an apron!’
There was nothing wrong with the comment, but Matilda definitely felt uncomfortable reading it.
If it was a friend who had left this comment, Matilda would have been fine with it. But knowing Yolanda,she definitely had an ulterior motive.
Sophia reached out to take William’s phone as she gestured for Matilda to join William with a lift of herchin. novelbin
Matilda immediately understood once she looked at Sophia, who urged her once more with a smile.“Go over.”
Hence, Matilda tidied her hair and walked over to William, who was seated beside Old Mrs. Constanceand was chatting with the old lady.
When she went over, William peeled a tangerine for her.
Sophia quickly pointed William’s phone camera in the direction.
During the conversation with Old Mrs. Constance, William peeled a section of the tangerine and fed itto Matilda.
If this had happened on a normal day, Matilda would have felt shy and insisted on not being fed.
However, she accepted his loving gesture this time.
Standing at her spot, Sophia took a video of the interaction and posted it to William’s Facebook.
She hadn’t planned to insert any caption, but right before she posted it, she deliberately added twocringeworthy red heart emojis.
This should make it clear, right?
After she was done with posting, Sophia tapped out of Facebook and headed over to join the groupwith William’s phone in her hand.
Taking a seat beside Matilda, she shoved the phone into Matilda’s hand.
Matilda immediately took the phone and silently pushed it back into William’s pocket while talking withhim.
All the while, Old Mrs. Constance’s gaze was darting between Matilda and Sophia, her lips curling intoa smile.
Sophia accidentally met her eyes. Of course, she knew that Old Mrs. Constance was a shrewd ladyand she definitely saw through their trick.
Perhaps, William was totally aware of it as well.
After all, when Sophia was filming William and Matilda, she did not hide her action at all. It was possiblethat William had noticed her taking the video. Even so, he did not stop her, which meant that he musthave tacitly approved her move.
A while later, Sophia went upstairs to call John and Logan down for dinner.
The two grown men were huddled together in the study, poring over a pile of documents.
