Putting on a half-smile, Sophia didn’t answer his question directly but said, “Back then, if you’d really got together
with Isabelle, you’d probably live a happy life. Isabelle seems like an understanding woman and would be very
submissive toward you. Your feelings for her would surely grow.”
Standing still, John turned to face Sophia and stopped her from walking further.
Noticing the indifferent expression on her face, John told her in a serious manner, “In this world, there’s no such
thing as if. I’ve married you and fallen in love with you. This is reality now. There’s no point thinking about what
could have happened. Sophia, are you bothered by the past? How can you possibly be sure that Isabelle and I will
end up happy? Back then, you were really submissive to me too, but I still didn’t feel comfortable with you. Would it
be any different if it was Isabelle? You’re being really unfair to me.”
Seeing that Sophia didn’t say anything, John sighed. “Sophia, you need to know this—I only have you in my heart.
Seriously, I don’t feel secure at all knowing that you’re thinking of those unnecessary things.”
Feeling amused, Sophia almost couldn’t hold in her laughter.
It was surprising to know that John would actually feel insecure as well. In regards to relationships, she thought only
women needed a sense of security.
A few seconds later, Sophia impatiently acknowledged what he said. “Fine. Got it.”
Slowly pulling her into a hug, John confessed, “Sometimes, I really don’t know what to do with you.”
What to do with me? Spoil me rotten then. What else? Sophia thought.

Glancing at the time, Sophia said, “It’s not exactly early anymore, but Madam Flintstone is still not back yet. Where
could she have gone?”
Darting a side glance at the clock, John suggested, “Let’s wait for a little while longer. She’s probably in a really bad
mood.”
As soon as Ms. Cannon was done cleaning up, Sophia and John waited for Matilda while watching television.
Meanwhile, Matilda apparently didn’t wander off too far. Coincidentally, she bumped into someone, and they sat
down in a cafe for a little chat.
In fact, Matilda wasn’t too surprised when Yolanda would come over to see her again.
Matilda was well aware that Yolanda was really fond of William. However, for these past few days, William had been
spending a tad bit more time than usual with Matilda instead.
Clearly, Yolanda didn’t feel secure about it, so it was understandable that she would come all the way here just to
understand the situation better.
Then again, the situation now had become rather amusing.
Matilda thought back to that time when she was still Mrs. Constance, she would often confront Yolanda boldly.
Now, the tables were turned. What an irony indeed.
Sitting down at one of the tables, both of them actually had their meals already, but they still proceeded to order
some snacks.
As always, Yolanda was being straightforward. She said, “I know it’s rather sudden for you to meet me abruptly, but
after contemplating things again and again, I decided to do so. I apologize if this makes you uncomfortable.”
Noticing Yolanda’s sense of propriety, Matilda couldn’t help but feel a flush creeping up her face.
Her attitude and behavior in the past was just plain terrible in comparison with Yolanda’s manners.
Immediately, Matilda replied, “Not at all. Please don’t think that way, because I don’t feel any discomfort. Actually, I
sort of expected you’ll come one day.”
With a smile on her face, Yolanda said, “Actually, I think I didn’t do a good job in hiding my feelings. I think anyone
can easily tell. It just so happens that William didn’t seem to get the hint.”
Passing Matilda a cup of tea, Yolanda went on to say, “Back then, there wasn’t anything between William and I. He
took care of me, all because I was injured and alone, so he took pity on me. Other than that, there was nothing
else. He is a magnanimous gentleman.”
Lowering her voice, Yolanda then confessed, “But I started to have feelings for him. This is true and I don’t wish to
hide it from you.”
