After having breakfast, John went to work, while Old Mrs. Constance and Matilda stayed downstairs. When Sophia
came downstairs, Matilda walked over and said, “I had wanted to wake you up, but John said that you had
awakened, and you’d come downstairs when you’re hungry.”
Sophia nodded. “I wasn’t hungry, so I didn’t want to move.”
Gazing at Sophia’s belly, Matilda said, “You have to exercise moderately. When I—” She caught herself, for she
didn’t think she should say this here.
Previously, Old Mrs. Constance had insisted that Matilda and William should be separated, even though she also
helped fend off Yolanda. However, Matilda wasn’t sure what was on her former mother-in-law’s mind, so she
decided against saying what she had wanted to say to spare them the embarrassment.
Standing in the doorway, Old Mrs. Constance had heard what Matilda said, but she just took a look at her without
responding.
Since Sophia had gone to the dining hall to have her breakfast, Matilda decided to follow her. In fact, she had to
return to Flintstone Residence later. Since the Flintstones had found out that she had stayed over in Constance
Residence, her mother called to ask her what happened.
Well, it’s hard to explain this matter over the phone, so I’d better go back and tell them. Maybe my mom doesn’t
think it’s appropriate for me to come here, since William and I are divorced. I could sense that she didn’t approve
of my action, Matilda thought.

and William were in a complicated relationship currently, they might invite some gossip from outsiders if they kept
in touch too frequently.
Looking at Matilda, Sophia said, “Have your family members called to ask why you’re staying here? Maybe they’re
upset or something.” She had just recalled what happened with the Flinstones previously.
With a smile, Matilda told her honestly, “I think so. My mom didn’t sound too happy over the phone, so I’m going
home to talk to her later.”
After taking a look at Old Mrs. Constance, Sophia shifted her attention back to Matilda and said in a lowered voice,
“Well, you can take this opportunity to go back and find out what your former husband thinks of it.”
Startled, Matilda batted her eyes, as she never thought about it before.
Sophia grinned. “Based on my observation, he still has feelings for you. But you’ve been progressing too slowly
now, and it’s not helping to get you remarried with him. So, I think you can give it a try.”
Since it wasn’t the time to get embarrassed, Matilda pouted her lips and asked, “Do you think it’ll work?”
With a serious expression, Sophia replied, “Yes, you have to trust me. Don’t worry. I’ll help you observe your ex
husband’s reaction over here.”
After some consideration, Matilda found her suggestion feasible, so she nodded. “Alright. I’ll go home and find out
what my family members think of it. Then, I’ll call you to discuss what to do next.”
Sophia nodded, and their agreement had been reached. After breakfast, Matilda packed up some stuff and went
home.
Standing in the garden in front of the main building, Old Mrs. Constance heaved a sigh. “Actually, Matilda has
become a really nice person.”
Sophia chuckled. “Well, you reminded me of her past self. She was really unbearable.”
Old Mrs. Constance guffawed. “I could never have imagined that both of you would get so close to each other one
day.”
Tilting her head, Sophia smiled. “I didn’t expect that either. In the past, I really hated her, but at the same time, I
knew that she just didn’t like the fact that I had married John. I could tell that she wasn’t a bad person by observing
her interaction with Isabelle.”
Compared to the Bailey Family, the Constance Family was richer and more powerful. So, Matilda treated Isabelle
well because she really liked her, rather than because she wanted to butter her up.
