Next One Is a Babe

Sophia leaned back in the chair. “When I met Madam Bloom for the first time, I thought she was quite sophisticated.”

Nodding in agreement, Old Mrs. Constance uttered, “When she was younger, she was a gorgeous woman. Coupled with her good nature, she naturally had a lot of admirers.”

Sophia was a little curious. “Then why is she divorced? Her ex-husband should be in love with her, right? How could he bear to get a divorce?”

Old Mrs. Constance thought for a while. “I heard that her ex-husband cheated on her, and she caught him in the act. She’s a decisive woman, and despite the man begging her to stay, she walked away and never looked back. She was determined to go through with the divorce. They had a child, but the child was old enough, and the divorce didn’t bring much negative impact either. After that, she lived alone.”

After a long pause, Sophia nodded. “She hasn’t had an easy life either.”

Old Mrs. Constance agreed.

Sophia looked at Matilda and thought that she might not be happy with this topic, so she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

After sitting for a while in the garden, they saw Lady Jennifer driving back home. She seemed to know that Sophia and Matilda would be here today as she wasn’t surprised at the sight of them. Walking over to them with a smile, she greeted, “Hello, my dear sister-in-law.”

This form of address made Matilda feel a little better. After all, Lady Jennifer’s greeting gave her an identity within the family. She nodded and asked in response, “Did you go out?”

Lady Jennifer came over and found a place to sit down. “Yes, I went out and bought something.”

Old Mrs. Constance looked at Lady Jennifer before asking, “How’s Dylan doing recently?”

When Dylan was brought up, Lady Jennifer sighed deeply. Her gaze shifted to Sophia as she said, “Honestly speaking, I’ve gotten over it. Whatever. Since this is not what he wants, then there’s nothing I can do. It’s not worth it if the matter causes havoc within the family every day.”

Old Mrs. Constance nodded. “Dylan is all grown up now, so you really don’t need to worry about him. He should know what to do.”

Hearing that, Lady Jennifer couldn’t help glancing at Sophia again. Noticing that, Sophia frowned slightly. She had a feeling that Lady Jennifer looked rather guarded against her.

Lady Jennifer replied, “Well, Dylan is quite a sensible one. I think I might have nagged a little too much, and he’s bothered by it. If I stop nagging, perhaps he would go and find a girl by himself. So, I guess I shouldn’t worry about it.”

Agreeing, Matilda tried to console her, “They’re all grown up now and have their own opinions, so they’re less willing to be controlled by us. Most of the time, we should let them make their own decisions, especially when it comes to relationships.”

Lady Jennifer nodded.

After staying in the garden for quite some time, Old Mrs. Constance became a little tired. Sophia and Matilda bade goodbye to Lady Jennifer and helped Old Mrs. Constance to return to the main building.
