Next One Is a Babe

She wants to lord over me now? In her dreams! After waiting for a while, Sophia cooked some noodles. She had quite a lot of ingredients, so she made some scallion oil noodles herself. Just when the noodles were done, a car came to a stop before her house. Nonetheless, she carried the noodles over to the sofa, planning to watch television while she ate.

Surprisingly, the person who alighted from the car headed for her house. Sophia stared at the person for a moment before sitting down casually. Watching the television, she then enjoyed the noodles with great relish.

The living room door was open, so Matilda saw Sophia as soon as she entered the courtyard. She’s really free, dressed in casual clothes and watching television, even laughing from time to time! Gritting her teeth, she walked over right away. “Sophia.”

Sophia ignored her, acting as though she didn’t hear her.

Matilda went over to the sofa in a few strides. “You’re such an ill-mannered shrew! An elder called you, yet you didn’t even respond.”

Sophia’s eyes remained fixed on the television. “You’re such an ill-mannered shrew! You’re trespassing without the house owner’s permission.”

Taken aback, Matilda almost lost her temper right then and there. She was initially at her parents’ house, waiting for William to give in and pick her up, but he didn’t come even after a whole night had passed. This morning, she phoned Constance Residence, only to hear that he’d gone back to the bedroom to sleep last night itself. This had her hopping mad. From that action of his, it meant that he was rather jubilant that she left since he could finally return to the bedroom to sleep.

Her wrath was so great that she didn’t even eat breakfast. However, she also knew that she couldn’t go back to Constance Residence now, nor could she call him to reason. He definitely wouldn’t entertain her and would even feel that she was being unreasonable. As she thought about it, she came to an unpleasant conclusion—if he didn’t come and get her, she certainly couldn’t go back on her own volition. Would this mean that he wouldn’t want her anymore in the end?

At the thought of this, Matilda became restless, and she hurriedly considered the current situation. She felt that the Constance Family had to be presently worried over the uproar on the Internet, so William might not continue to hold the things she’d done over her head if this matter was resolved and his good mood restored. Then, she could go back when he came to get her. After all, no one would care overly much when the matter was resolved, and this storm would pass.

But how could this matter be resolved? To her thinking, Sophia was an excellent resolution. The netizens are now sympathizing with Sophia, so everything will be fine if she steps forward and announces that the divorce was due to a breakdown in their relationship or a difference in personalities. It’ll definitely be effective if she were to speak on behalf of John.

Only after soothing herself for half a day did Matilda finally manage to suppress her anger over Sophia’s retort. “The Internet is now all abuzz. Hurry up and issue a statement to help clarify things between John and Belle so that this matter can be put to rest,” she ordered coldly.
