Sophia’s initial reaction was to turn down the invitation. Shouldn’t Old Mrs. Constance’s own family members

accompany her on trips like the monastery visit? As an ex-granddaughter-in-law, Sophia felt uncomfortable at the

idea of going out with Old Mrs. Constance.

Old Mrs. Constance sighed and explained that she saw Sophia receiving a very positive outcome from a past card

reading at the Blackwell Residence, a proof that Sophia had better luck. Therefore, she wanted Sophia to tag along

to share some of the luck.

Sophia chuckled. “What good luck? Look at me in the past. Did I look like a lucky woman?”

Old Mrs. Constance sighed. “Well, your luck must have turned around. Your stars are aligned. Don’t you know that

the Blackwells’ stagnant business flourished after you received your reading? It’s all thanks to you.”

Old Mrs. Constance was a professional in terms of bluffing. Scratching her head awkwardly, Sophia said, “I think you

should ask John to go to the monastery with you. He’s a lucky man too.”

Yeah, he’s lucky in life, except when he was forced to marry me. Sophia secretly grumbled.

Old Mrs. Constance’s was immediately filled with disappointment. “Sophia, are you going to abandon all of us after

your divorce with John?”

Sophia clutched her phone but remained silent. It was true that she did not want any more interaction and trouble

with the Constances after the divorce. Sure, she could remain friends with John, but they should not get too tangled

up in their daily lives.

She was fine with occasional contact with John, but if she had to accompany any member of the Constance Family

on trips, it would only complicate matters.

Then, Old Mrs. Constance pleaded, “I have never begged you for anything before. Just do me a favor this time, will

you? Please? Sophia?”

Sophia let out a sigh and relented. In the face of Old Mrs. Constance’s dogged insistence, she stood no chance of

turning down the invitation. Defeated, she decided to stop the lengthy conversation and agreed to it. Next time, she

could confidently say no to the old lady.

Old Mrs. Constance was over the moon and said that she’d send a driver to pick Sophia up the next day, to which

Sophia curtly answered, “Okay.”

After the call, Sophia fell into a long silence before bursting into laughter, reminiscing about the old days when she

didn’t get along well with the Constances. Beside her, Robin chuckled. “I overheard everything. That grandma from

the Constance Family seems very nice to you.”

Sophia flashed her an ambiguous smile. “Oh, really?” But in the past, Old Mrs. Constance didn’t treat Sophia nicely.

Her niceties came at the same time as John’s patience for her appeared—after the divorce. No matter how she

looked at it, everything was belated and unnecessary.

Sophia continued to busy herself in the store until noon. Then, she left for a grocery store close to the desserts

place to shop for some groceries before heading home. It only took her a round of shopping at the meat and

poultry section before she bumped into someone she knew.

Matilda and Isabelle were pushing a shopping cart, walking and chatting like mother and daughter. Since Sophia

didn’t expect to run into the two here, she was rather taken aback.

Matilda looked alright after her divorce from William, which was different from what Sophia had imagined. Initially,

Sophia thought that Matilda would look disheveled or dispirited, but her ex-mother-in-law appeared the same as

before. Perhaps, the divorce was yet to be announced publicly, so Matilda thought that she still stood a chance.

Sophia’s eyes only stayed on them for seconds before she shifted her attention, picking her grocery items. On the

other side, Matilda and Isabelle were still talking and laughing. When Matilda turned around, she immediately

spotted Sophia.

At this time of the day, the grocery store was not as crowded. Sophia was eye-catching because she was dressed

trendily and she had good looks, making her stand out from the rest of the shoppers. Matilda was stunned as she

frowned. Noticing the pause in Matilda’s actions, Isabelle asked, “Mrs. Constance, what’s the…”

Mid-sentence, Isabelle noticed Sophia as well. Isabelle could normally hide her emotions very well, so the surprise

on her face vanished within seconds. Still smiling, she pushed her cart and walked toward Sophia. “Miss Gwendolyn,

you’re here too!”

Sophia slowly turned around and looked at the two of them. “Oh, what a coincidence!”
