Next One Is a Babe

Matilda didn’t think that before, but when William picked up the call just now, she suddenly marveled at Yolanda’s drive and purposefulness. Such a woman could probably get whatever she wants, right? It’s just that she wants William now...

Sophia turned around and looked at Matilda. “It’s okay, don’t worry. We’re all here for you, and we’ll be able to take her down.”

Matilda was amused by her words. “You’re talking like it’s a war and not a matter of the heart.”

Finding it funny, Sophia chuckled. “Well, even matters of the heart require proper strategies and plans to succeed. You’re in an excellent position right now, so there’s nothing for you to be afraid of. She’s the one who should be afraid. If you become nervous now, you’ll be giving her a chance to attack.”

Matilda thought for a while, then vaguely nodded. “Okay, I got it.”

John and William chatted for a short while downstairs before the latter left. He did not bid goodbye to Matilda but simply drove off instead.

Standing at the window, Sophia almost cursed him out loud. This wooden-headed guy really doesn’t understand anything about relationships, does he? He’s at such an old age now, yet he’s still so obtuse. Just thinking of the two of them makes me worried sick.

After a while, John came up and asked Matilda if she felt discomfort anywhere. Since Matilda’s back was already applied with medication, she didn’t feel any pain now. So, she said she was okay and then asked him what he and William were talking about downstairs.

Smiling, John looked up at Sophia, who was standing by the window, and said, “Nothing much. Dad wants me to bring Sophia back to Constance Residence. He said that it’s safer there.”

Matilda nodded. “That is true.”

John then added, “Then, he also spoke about your situation here.”

Matilda paused for a while. Before she could speak, Sophia spoke first, “What did he say? Quick, tell us.”

Sophia looked like if she was dissatisfied with what William said, she would go and settle scores with him. John glanced at Sophia and said, “Don’t be anxious. Come and sit down.”

Therefore, Sophia slowly wandered over and sat down by Matilda’s bed.

John went on to say, “Dad said that you have a good relationship with Sophia now, but she isn’t on good terms with the others back at the Constance Residence, so she may not be able to adapt to life there if she goes back alone all of a sudden. He hopes that you’ll follow her there. Besides, he said that he’d announce to everyone that he’s the one who wants you back so that you’ll not suffer any humiliation. But I suppose he’s too embarrassed to tell you all this, so he let me pass the message on. What do you think?”

An ‘oh’ left Sophia’s lips as she quickly replied for Matilda, “Okay, sure. It’s settled then. Madam Flintstone will go back. She will. Don’t worry.”

She then looked at Matilda. “Right? We’ll go back together, right?”
