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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe 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.
Old Mrs. Constance initially wanted to go upstairs to rest, but the butler came over and said that a visitor had
arrived.
All three women in the room were taken aback by the sudden news. The butler continued to say, “The woman said
she’s Madam Bloom and that you should know her, Old Mrs. Constance.”
Sophia was startled, after which she frowned and looked at Matilda. Yolanda has come straight here. This woman is
really bold indeed.
Surprised, Old Mrs. Constance murmured, “What is she doing here?” Despite saying this, she had the butler invite
Yolanda in.
When the butler ushered Yolanda into the room, the latter was stupefied at seeing Sophia and Matilda standing
there. Sophia immediately realized that Yolanda had simply wanted to visit Old Mrs. Constance and get on her good
side and wasn’t here to sabotage the relationship between Matilda and the Constance Family.
Yolanda looked slightly awkward as she said, “Oh, you guys are here too.”
Nodding, Sophia explained, “Yes, we’re here to stay.”
Yolanda passed the gift she was carrying to the servant stiffly and then smiled. “I see. William hadn’t told me about
it.”
