After Matilda hung up the call, Sophia leaned against the bedhead and thought that something must have

happened to her. Putting down the phone, she started spacing out.

 

Her stomach felt much better now. It seems that I was really too agitated just now. Anyway, the problem between

Kay and I have been settled. From now on, I have nothing to do with her anymore. Hopefully, I won’t see her again

for the rest of my life.

A while later, Matilda gave Sophia a call. When the call was connected, she let out a sigh and lamented, “It’s killing

me. Fortunately, you made the effort to call me just now, otherwise I wouldn’t have an excuse to leave.”

Sophia laughed. “What’s wrong? What happened to you?”

Smacking her lips, Matilda replied, “After I returned home, my mom said it was embarrassing for me to keep

pestering William, as the Constances would look down on me. So, she’d arranged a date for me.”

“What?” Sophia asked in shock. “You mean your mom made you go on a date? Well, she’s really eager to marry

you off again.”

In fact, Matilda’s mother didn’t say it was a date. She just thought that Matilda had too few friends, so she decided

to introduce a suitable man to her daughter. Since she didn’t make it clear that it was a date, it was hard for Matilda

to reject her.

Earlier, the man called Matilda to ask her out. She didn’t want to go, but the man’s attitude was rather sincere. He

just said that he felt bored after having dinner, so he decided to ask her out for a walk. Thinking to make it clear to

the man that she wasn’t looking for a new boyfriend, she agreed to it.

 

Feeling curious, Sophia asked, “What does the man look like? In comparison to Master William, who is more

handsome?”

Matilda burst into laughter. “Well, I’m not going to make a comparison between them.” The man is gentle and he

speaks in a slow manner. It seems that he’s a mild-tempered man, Matilda thought.

After thinking for a bit, Sophia smirked. “Well, I think I will try to expose it to Master William that you went on a date,

and I’ll observe his reaction. When he found out that you had returned home, I could see that he was flustered. I’m

not telling this to console you. It was how he really reacted.”

 

Matilda laughed. “Really? I’m surprised.”

Sophia grunted. “Alright. You’ll stay in your home for the time being, and I’ll continue observing Master William.

Since John could make the effort to make up with me, I believe that Master William can do the same. Just wait for

him to go pick you up.”

Meanwhile, John and William were having a chat in the yard in front of the main building. John had decided to tell

his father why he and Sophia had gone out.

William nodded. “It’s hard for us to console her since this is her own familial matter. If she thinks this is the best way

to settle the problem, then let her be. I truly feel sorry for her. She had been living with her grandpa, so she didn’t

have any fondness for her parents. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so steel-hearted.”

“You’re right,” John said. He had visited Sophia’s hometown before, so he knew that her living conditions were poor.

In the small village, most young men and women had left. With only old people and young kids around, life in the

village must have been hard. One of the villagers told John that Sophia had learned to wash clothes and cook food

since young. During harvest season, she would help her grandfather out in the farmland.

The harsh life she had to live eroded her yearning for her parents. Now that she had decided to make such a

decision, no one had the right to say she was wrong.

When their discussion about Sophia was over, William finally couldn’t take it anymore and asked what happened

with Matilda.

John replied, “Oh, her mom thinks that it’s inappropriate for her to stay here. Moreover, she’s afraid that if you

bring home someone you love one day, it’ll be embarrassing for Mom. So, rather than waiting to fall into such an

awkward situation, her mom told her to go home to spare the two of you the trouble.”
