With an expression that showed her clear conscience, Yolanda gazed at Matilda. “That time, both of you weren’t
divorced. I hid my feelings to myself and I swear I had never pestered him or done anything that crossed the line,
prior to your divorce.”
Judging from her expression, Matilda truly believed in every word she said.
Then again, it also made her feel worse about her past self for being so mean toward Yolanda.
Thus, Matilda could only mumble her acknowledgement and remained silent.
Letting out a sigh, Yolanda explained, “Now that you’re divorced, I think I have the right to stand up and confess my
love for him. I can even boldly do something for him. Sophia, I wish to make this clear—I’m not the one who ruined
your marriage.”
Taking in a deep breath, Matilda agreed with her. “You’re not. I know that.”
Indeed, Matilda knew very well that the end of their marriage had nothing to do with Yolanda—it was all because of
herself.
Then, Matilda lifted her head to gaze at Yolanda. “Anyway, the fact that you’re here today means that there must
be something else you wish to tell me, right?”
After a moment of hesitation, Yolanda’s expression changed.
Meanwhile, Matilda took a sip of her tea, but upon remembering that it wouldn’t be a good idea to drink tea at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnight, she placed the cup back onto the table.
Lowering her gaze, Yolanda opened up to her. “You’re right. There’s something else I wish to tell you.”
Drawing in a long breath, Yolanda lifted her chin to gaze at Matilda. “I love William, and I wish to be together with
him. Matilda, there was a problem in your previous marriage, which is why it has resulted in this state. If you plan to
get together with him again, the problem will still exist. So, can you please keep him at arm’s length?”
Knowing the fact she was in no position to say that, Yolanda found it exceptionally difficult to spill the beans.
With a calm expression, Matilda stared at Yolanda. If it was her in the past, Matilda thought she would probably flip
the table over by now.
“Actually, you should say this to William, because I had never taken the initiative to meet with him. If you’re saying
that we’re being too close to one another, I think I still have freedom to do so. After all, both of you aren’t officially
together yet. Besides, you need to understand that William is the one who’s taking the lead, not me.”
Feeling defeated, Yolanda gazed at Matilda. “I know that. But if you don’t have any feelings for William, I was hoping
you will avoid or push him aside when he goes near you. After all…”
“I did,” Matilda interjected.
Looking at Yolanda’s dumbfounded expression, Matilda took in a deep breath and confessed, “I do have feelings for
William, and probably deeper than before. Admittedly, I’m the one who caused the divorce, but it was never my
intention. If it’s possible, I still wish to get back together with him again.”
At this point, Yolanda seemed to have run out of words.
Sitting up straight, Matilda declared, “I understand why you’re here today. Then again, I wonder how I should put
this—let’s just say it’s a fair competition between you and me now. Previously, I may have had an advantage, but
now that it’s gone, I’ll just try my best. Don’t worry. In the end, if he chose to be together with you, I’ll still give my
blessings.”
Hearing that, Yolanda didn’t know what to say.
Glancing at the time, Matilda said, “It’s late. I’d better get going. Otherwise, John and Sophia will be worried.”
Taking her phone, Matilda stood up and bobbed her head toward Yolanda. After paying the bill, she walked out of
the cafe with her chin lifted up high.
Fortunately, this cafe wasn’t too far off from where they lived, so she could walk slowly.
On the way back, Matilda felt her heart sink gradually. Though she had put on a poker face, she was in fact feeling
overwhelmed inside.
