Matilda sat down across from Sophia. On the other hand, John sat beside Sophia while putting food into her bowl.

“You should eat up since you haven’t been eating a lot.”

 

Although John wasn’t a superb cook, the dishes he made were alright, so it was still an acceptable meal if one

wasn’t a picky eater. Observing John and Sophia after taking a bite out of her meal, Matilda suddenly felt like being

sent back in time.

The atmosphere around them was similar to when the Constances used to have a meal together. After giving it

some thought, she told John, “I heard that Yolanda was discharged.” Yolanda was the woman who took care of

William.

John hummed in response. “But due to her multiple injuries, she will have to take some time off to recuperate even

after that.”

With her lips pulled into a thin line, Matilda said, “Since your father is such a yes man, I bet he would go take care of

her.”

John was smiling when he replied, “I am unsure as to how things went, but Yolanda had a maid by her side, so my

father didn’t really need to do anything.”

During the rest of the mealtime, Matilda couldn’t help but sulk. After they were finished, John went to do the dishes,

while Sophia left for the sofa. Matilda didn’t seem to be in a hurry to leave, as she looked toward Sophia after

hanging around and scanning the living room. “Are you having a good time in the house that my son bought you?”

Despite her pointed question, Sophia wasn’t in the mood to bicker, so she gave Matilda a hum. “Yeah, I am.”

Matilda snorted before saying, “Everybody was assuming that John was in the wrong, but if you look closer, your

divorce seemed to be beneficial to you. You got an astronomical sum out of it that normal people couldn’t possibly

earn.”

Sophia gave another hum before asking, “So why weren’t you willing to divorce William? From what I gathered, he

was willing to pay you an alimony, so it was also beneficial to you.” It was a mere statement of the truth, so she

said so in a calm manner as she wasn’t trying to come off as mocking.

Nonetheless, Matilda choked on her own words while staring at Sophia wide-eyed. “You—” However, she calmed

herself down after thinking about it. “You know nothing. I am not the same as you.”

 

Sophia gave her a nod. “True, you’re older than me, so men don’t look your way anymore.”

Taking a deep breath, Matilda shut up when she realized she could never gain the upper hand against Sophia.

Meanwhile, Sophia was still watching cartoons, as her interest was piqued after watching it for some time. Matilda

sat down beside her after going around in the house for a bit. Watching the cartoon as well, she grumbled, “Why

would anybody watch such a retarded program?”

Despite her complaint, she was nonetheless watching it. It wasn’t until a while later that Sophia asked, “Say, how

are things going with John’s father? Did you keep in touch?”

Sophia was merely asking out of curiosity. Staring at the TV, Matilda replied, “Nope, we didn’t meetup, nor did we

call each other.”

Sophia snorted before making fun of Matilda, remarking, “You’re still trying to sit on your high horse even when it

has come to this.”

Hissing, Matilda was obviously affronted by Sophia’s remark, but she said nothing to retaliate. Sophia heaved a sigh

before telling her, “You should follow your son’s example.”

Her movements hitched, Matilda turned to look at the kitchen to see John cleaning up the cooktop, and he was

surprisingly adept at it. He never used to do that while at home. After observing him for a while, she caught on to

what Sophia meant.

However, she knew she couldn’t possibly behave like how John did, as she had always been the domineering one in

the relationship. Even when she tried to meet up with William to express her intention to remarry him, she was still

the one in control of the situation. Sophia didn’t care what Matilda thought, as she already did her part by offering

the latter some advice, so she wouldn’t say anything more.

Meanwhile, when John was finished with cleaning up, he served them some fruits. Matilda felt sorry for him, as he

never needed to do those back when living with the Constance household.
