The Returning Ex

Upon hearing Sophia’s rejection, Old Mrs. Constance sighed and explained, “Actually, it’s Old Mrs. Blackwell who wants to invite you to a meal through me. After you got a good result from the fortune-telling for them, their business started picking up. Therefore, she wants to thank you personally.”

Sophia smiled. “There’s no need to thank me since I have taken such an expensive item from them. Moreover, I got the result out of luck, and it didn’t cost me anything, so she doesn’t have to thank me.”

Old Mrs. Constance sighed. “Despite what you have said, she now regards you to be their benefactor. Since she’s so hospitable, it’s really inappropriate that you don’t come over.”

Sophia covered her forehead and said, “Madam, I really—”

Before she could finish her words, Old Mrs. Constance interrupted, “Sophia, I miss you very much. Don’t you want to pay me a visit?”

Her words rendered Sophia speechless. To be honest, she didn’t miss anyone from the Constance Family, including Old Mrs. Constance. Although Old Mrs. Constance was good to her currently, she wasn’t like this in the past.

Since Sophia didn’t utter a word, Old Mrs. Constance directly made the decision for her. “Alright. You’ll come to my house tomorrow. I’ll tell the cooks to get ready. When you arrive tomorrow, we’ll have a proper chat.”

Sophia gave it a thought. Since the next day would be a working day, John would supposedly be at the company. Hence, she probably wouldn’t come across him. After hesitating for a moment, she gave an affirmative grunt, saying, “I’ll go to your house in the morning since it’s not easy to hail a taxi in the evening these days.”
