“Why else?” Sophia turned to face Matilda. “She’s interested in your ex-husband, so naturally, she wants to

assimilate into the family slowly. The first step would be to form good relationships with those in the Constance

Family.”

Learning about what Yolanda might be planning, Matilda frowned. “She really is bold enough to do that. If it were

me, I can’t do it. It feels so embarrassing.”

Recalling what happened, Sophia laughed. “Old Mrs. Constance was defending you just now.”

Matilda nodded. After some thought, she also lay down. “I was truly surprised. I thought that she doesn’t like me.”

Faced with her statement, Sophia replied, “You were really unlikable. But now you’re alright. What were you

thinking of all these years?”

Matilda didn’t know what she herself was thinking about, for she seemed to be rather muddled before.

Sophia was feeling sluggish, so she fell asleep after some murmuring. Lying there, Matilda was lost in thought for a

while before her eyes closed as well.

The two of them slept well into the evening.

Old Mrs. Constance had awoken quite some time ago and was listening to music while drinking tea downstairs.

Finally, she could not resist asking someone to go and call the two women to come down and have a chat with her.

The servant came down after a while and reported, “They’re both asleep. I haven’t awakened them yet.”

The old lady laughed. “Okay, then let them sleep. Back then, when they were both at home, it had never been as

peaceful as now.”

Back then, Matilda was always looking for a chance to make things difficult for Sophia. Chaos had descended upon

the family time after time, so by comparison, although it was much quieter now, it was also much more peaceful

than before.

After waiting for a while, John and William returned. Old Mrs. Constance thought to herself that now John came

home after work and William didn’t work overtime anymore. She couldn’t help laughing when she saw them

entering the house.

As soon as John and William entered, they glanced into the living room. Old Mrs. Constance spoke, “You don’t have

to search around. They’re both sleeping upstairs.”

John turned to go upstairs. “I’ll go take a look.”

William looked as if he wanted to follow John, but Old Mrs. Constance stopped him and said, “You come here. We

need to have a talk.”

Stopping in his tracks, William thought for a while before turning around. He came to sit opposite his mother. “Mom,

what’s the matter?”

Old Mrs. Constance took a sip of the tea and then said, “Yolanda was here today. Did you know about this?”

William was obviously startled at the news, for his brows creased as he answered, “She came here? I didn’t know

that. What was she doing here?”

Old Mrs. Constance pointed in a direction with her chin. “She sent that over and said she came to see me.” Smiling,

she continued, “Why did she come to see me though? I’m just an old sack of bones.”

William turned to look where she was pointing and saw the gift basket of health products. His brows were still

furrowed together. “I didn’t know that she would come over. T-They—”

Without allowing him to finish his sentence, Old Mrs. Constance interrupted, “Later, I went upstairs to nap, so I have

no idea what both of them talked about downstairs. If you want to know, you can ask Matilda or Yolanda.”

William exhaled sharply before muttering, “What did she come here for?”

Old Mrs. Constance’s voice was soft as she asked, “Ask yourself this, did you give her any hope?”

Hope? I hadn’t given Yolanda any hope. All this while, I have been quite clear about things.

Old Mrs. Constance paused for a moment, then asked, “You’re already at such an age, so I’m not going to nag you

about this. However, when it comes to relationships, you shouldn’t drag it out like this. You need to be aware of who

you like and who you want to be with. What are you so hesitant for anyway?”

William lowered his gaze. “About this matter, I don’t know what to do right now.”
