Glancing at the time, Matilda wanted to tell him to go back, for driving late at night was dangerous, but in the end,

she swallowed her words. Deep down, she wanted to get along with William.

 

Before this, all she did was complain when they had any alone time. She’d either grumble about Sophia, the

servants, the other Constance branch families, or William. Everything she could think of could be used as a

complaining tool.

Sometimes William would console her, but sometimes he’d say nothing, for he was exhausted. Now that she

thought about it, aside from her incessant complaining, she couldn’t remember what they did during their alone

time. So now she asked about his work and whether he had any troublesome business to settle. Matilda never

cared about his work, but since she asked, William told her about it. He had a lot of problems related to work, but

William chose the simplest ones.

Matilda listened to him closely. “I never knew you had to face so many troubles.”

William chortled. “I got used to it.”

Matilda looked at him quietly. “I’m sorry for what I did. I know I’ve caused you a lot of trouble.”

William looked back at her. Matilda’s getup was different now; she used to adore the rich lady getup. It was elegant,

but William thought it was too forced. She looked so much younger after giving that look up. Her casual wear and

ponytail looked so much fresher to William. Then he said, “I’m partly at fault, too. It’s not just you.”

A marriage’s end wasn’t the fault of a single person, and Matilda knew that, but she didn’t know how to continue

the conversation now. If William was to be blamed, then his only fault was being overly nice to Matilda, and it made

her think life was supposed to be nice to her. Since Ms. Cannon had gone out, only they were left in the house. A

while later, Matilda blurted, “Yolanda came yesterday because of you, wasn’t she? Everyone could see that.”

 

A look of awkwardness crept onto his face. “She might’ve had something to tell you, I think. She’s just a friend.

There’s nothing between us.”

Matilda caressed her leg reflexively. “It’s normal even if you guys are dating.”

William paused, then he grunted. He didn’t know whether he still loved Matilda. After all these years, his love had

been torn to pieces. Every time he thought of his marriage with Matilda, he’d be overwhelmed by a sense of

exhaustion.

 

The first feeling he felt after the divorce was freedom. He could finally break free of that suffocating life, but he had

a price to pay. After the initial high, William started feeling weird. Something felt missing from his life the moment

he realized he’d never hear anyone nagging him anymore, and William wondered why he felt that way.

Then an awkward silence fell between them, and William was the first to give in. He stood up. “It’s late, so I’ll be

going back now. Since you’re not feeling too well, you should rest early.”

Matilda said okay and went to send him off.

At this time, John and Sophia were walking nearby, and Sophia clicked her tongue after seeing William leave. “I

have no idea what your dad is thinking. I think he still loves your mom, but then he didn’t even seize this chance to

confess. I might be wrong about your dad’s love.”
