Sophia broke away from John’s embrace and changed the subject. “When does your dad intend for us to go back
there? I don’t actually want to go to the Constance Residence, but I suppose I can put up with it for a while if it
means I can play cupid for him and Madam Flintstone.”
John thought for a while. “The sooner, the better. I’ll start getting busy soon, so I’m worried if you’re both here. If
you go over to the Constance Residence, there will be many people taking care of you there. That way, I’ll feel
more reassured.”
Sophia had no opinion on where exactly she should spend her days. “I’ll just follow whatever you guys plan.”
John felt assured after hearing her words.
That night, they did not talk much. John went off to work the next morning. Just as Sophia finished her breakfast,
someone came by and said that he was there to bring Sophia and Matilda to the Constance Residence.
That’s incredibly quick!
The Constance Residence had everything that they would need, so they didn’t need to bring anything. The three of
them got into a car and left at once.
William had probably told Old Mrs. Constance about their arrival in advance because she was already waiting at the
door. Seeing Sophia coming over, a broad smile bloomed on her face.
Matilda was the first to get out of the car. She then helped Sophia get down as well.
Old Mrs. Constance looked at Matilda. “I heard you got hurt.”

Hearing that, Old Mrs. Constance sighed. “We’ll get the family doctor to come and have a look later. No matter if
it’s serious or not, it’s better to have it checked.”
Matilda simply nodded. As Old Mrs. Constance looked at Sophia, her smile widened again. “Come, come. Let’s talk
more inside. I’ve waited for you for quite a while.”
Old Mrs. Constance took Sophia and Matilda to the main building, saying that Sophia would be staying in John’s
room. As for Matilda, Old Mrs. Constance thought for a while and decided that she should remain in the room that
she and William once shared. However, Matilda frowned after learning about the arrangement. “May I have a
different room? It’s not appropriate for me to stay there now.”
Old Mrs. Constance was obviously surprised by Matilda’s unexpected reaction. But she simply nodded and replied,
“Of course. How about that room right next to John’s? You decorated that room, so I think you’ll like it.”
As long as it isn’t William’s room, I’m fine with any other room. Matilda nodded and agreed with the arrangement.
Shortly after, John’s call came in. Sophia took a look at her phone and picked up the call. Without John asking, she
said first, “I’m already at the Constance Residence, so don’t worry.”
John said he would come back at noon, but Sophia didn’t understand why he wanted to return. Regardless, she still
agreed and replied, “Okay, then so be it.”
Hanging up the phone, Old Mrs. Constance asked the two younger women what they’d like for lunch. Sophia looked
at Ms. Cannon. “I like everything that Ms. Cannon makes. I’m not picky about food.” Ms. Cannon laughed next to
her. “Miss Sophia is really cooperative. She eats everything without me having to worry about her, so I’m sure this
child will grow up well in the future.”
Upon hearing that the child would grow up well, Old Mrs. Constance was delighted and laughed happily.
After chatting for a while, Sophia felt sleepy. Matilda was also a little tired, so both of them went upstairs to rest.
Matilda went into the room next to John’s, thinking to herself that she had once prepared this room for Isabelle.
After Sophia moved into it, she was so angry that she couldn’t sleep for several nights. It was thus unexpected that
she herself moved into this room now.
Sophia leaned against the door frame. “Not bad, I guess. This favorite room of yours is now your bedroom.”
Matilda chuckled. “How ironic, right?” After speaking, she took out her phone, looked at it, and then sneered, “Look,
this is even more ironic.”
Isabelle had sent her a message and asked if she was angry because of the previous incident. Matilda pursed her
lips and asked Sophia, “How should I answer her?”
