Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 779

Old Mrs. Constance’s movements were slow, so Sophia had to match her pace. The two of them went toward Old Mrs. Constance’s room, after which Sophia suddenly said, “That Madam Bloom appears to really like Mr. Constance.”

“Even you can tell.” Old Mrs. Constance nodded.

Laughing, she explained, “It’s really too obvious.”

Old Mrs. Constance nodded again and said earnestly, “To be honest, there isn’t any fault that I can find in her. However, the matter between her and William has always been a thorn in my heart. That year, she was the one who abandoned William, so I feel uncomfortable every time I think about it.”

Unsure of the incidents in the past, she merely gave a noncommittal grunt. When they went into the room, she did not leave at once.

Sophia helped Old Mrs. Constance get into bed, then she said, “But considering how we treated her today, won’t Mr. Constance be upset if he finds out? Will he think that we’re meddling in his private matter? Besides…”

Sophia hesitated before continuing, “Besides, what if he likes Madam Bloom?”

Laughing, Old Mrs. Constance glanced at Sophia. “Little brat, what do you want to find out from me? Just say it to my face.”

Sophia grinned and replied, “It’s nothing much. I’m just a little curious about Mr. Constance’s stance on this. He’s too placid, so I don’t really understand him.”

Old Mrs. Constance thought about it. “Well, he is quite placid, I suppose. However, I’ve always thought that he’s an open book.”

For example, when William returned with John, John had gone upstairs first while he followed after a brief hesitation. It was obvious that he had gone and looked for Matilda, but he did not find her, yet he was too embarrassed to ask anybody.

Old Mrs. Constance saw it all clearly.

After he came down, he was embarrassed to speak so forthrightly, so he started complaining about Matilda, saying that she was such a picky woman that she probably couldn’t adapt well now that she had suddenly moved in here. He kept saying how she might not be able to sleep well and how it was challenging to change her habits when she had become accustomed to them.

But all of it simply meant that Matilda would be unaccustomed to being arranged to sleep in a random room.

Old Mrs. Constance ignored him, but she naturally knew what he was trying to say. After all, they were divorced, so he and Matilda certainly could not sleep in the same room. Their relationship was rather different from John and Sophia’s.

Sophia thought for a while before saying, “I thought it was obvious too, but as soon as Madam Bloom came, I’m not so sure anymore.” Perhaps Yolanda was so proactive because she had privately interacted with William.
