Matilda laughed it off and said, “This is just the beginning of your problems, and there will be a lot more coming in

the future. So, you should be like me and learn how to let go. Sometimes, things can be hardly evitable, and there is

nothing they can do about it.”

In fact, William had also stayed in the company before when he got too busy back then. As a workaholic, he would

even be missing from home for a few days in a row. Needless to say, that didn’t sit well with Matilda, as she argued

with William and told him she didn’t want a married life like that. Although William made a promise to change every

time, he still did the same thing again and again.

When arguing and complaining didn’t seem to work, Matilda began to get over it and accept the unchangeable fact.

It was at that moment that Matilda realized that she had also made sacrifices in those days before they separated.

Sophia responded with an affirmative hum. “I called John this morning, and he said he might be back earlier today.”

Hearing her daughter-in-law’s words, she grinned as she said, “Both of you are still young. When you reach my age,

you probably won’t care whether he comes back.”

Old Mrs. Constance sat there with a chuckle. “Are you sure that’s really how you feel? William basically goes to your

place every day. So, I’m pretty curious to see the look on your face if he doesn’t show up one day.”

Faced with the funny comment, Matilda paused before she burst into laughter. “Oh, come on, Old Mrs. Constance!

You didn’t have to embarrass me.”

After that, both ladies laughed in amusement while Sophia sat aside and forced a smile on her face. John hasn’t

sent me a text since he called this morning. I wonder how he is doing over there. A few moments later, Sophia was

reminded of Isabelle’s missed call the day before. Could that woman have something she wanted to tell me?

Soon, it was noon by the time Sophia and Old Mrs. Constance were about to be done with their chatter. At that

moment, Old Mrs.

 

Constance felt a little sleepy, so she had the maid help her walk to the bedroom. Meanwhile, Matilda made her way

to the kitchen to see what they were cooking for lunch. At the same time, Sophia headed outside and gave Isabelle

a call, but to no avail, as no one picked up the phone. Is this revenge from her? Fine, I’m not going to call back

anyway. Unwilling to give in, Sophia refused to phone Isabelle a second time. Nonetheless, she couldn’t shake off

the thought that Isabelle might have had something she wanted to tell her the day before. Perhaps she no longer

thinks it’s important to say what she wanted to after the missed call. Then, Sophia took a look at the time and

pondered. It’s almost noon. I guess maybe I should call John up to check on him. Soon, John answered the call and

responded with a calm voice before Sophia could ask her question. “I’m a little busy at the moment, but I’ll be back

by noon. So, don’t worry.” After hearing his reply, Sophia’s mind was finally put to ease.

 

 

She then said, “Your mom is here, so perhaps you could invite your dad along as well.” In response, John gave an

affirmative reply with a confident voice. Knowing that he was busy, Sophia hung up the call without saying much

and went back inside the house. Feeling much better, she went to the kitchen and looked at Matilda, who was busy

preparing lunch. “I’m going to take a nap now, so I’ll see you all later.” Matilda responded with an affirmative hum,

without even looking at Sophia. “Sure, go ahead. I’ll let you know when it’s time for lunch.” “Alright,” Sophia replied,

standing still for a few seconds before she headed upstairs. As soon as she returned to her room, she reached for

her phone and called Logan to thank him. I don’t know what Logan did or said to John last night, but I guess I owe

him my thanks for having my back.
