Stay away from Isabelle? Are they telling me they want me to get closer to Sophia?
Seriously? These people are all tricked by Sophia’s appearance.
Sophia was someone who wouldn’t hesitate to trick her mother-in-law, and Matilda would never accept Sophia because of this.
When Matilda reached the cafe in a cab, Isabelle was already waiting there.
She smiled when she entered the place. “I’m slightly late because I was stuck in a traffic jam just now.”
However, Isabella’s facial expression looked somber as she stood up immediately. “Mrs. Constance, are you alright?”
Matilda forced herself to be calm. “I’m fine. What could be wrong?”
Then, Isabelle took her phone and unlocked it while the footage of Matilda causing a scene at the hospital popped up coincidentally.
The situation looked out of hand as Matilda kept crying and sniffing in the footage, but they could already figure out what happened.
Matilda watched the footage as she tried to remain as composed as she could. “That’s nothing much. It’s not like it’s something huge, right?”
Isabelle kept her phone at that before turning to Matilda. “Mrs. Constance, did you get a divorce?”
Let’s talk about Matilda. Although she always gave Isabelle false information about John and Sophia, she didn’t lie consciously. Matilda wasn’t a good liar, and the wrong information that she had relayed was just her subjective judgments.
Right now, Matilda didn’t know how to cover her excuse up through observations.”
So, she nodded after pursuing her lips for a moment. “Yes, William and I are divorced.”
After that, Matilda didn’t forget to add on, “Causing a scene at the hospital today was actually one of my plans. Since those people won’t let me be happy, I won’t let them be happy as well. Now that this issue is leaked, the Constance Family are probably in a mess as they try to make a new proposal to go against this playboy.”
Then, she pushed her hair back. “To be honest, there’s nothing that I can do since we are already divorced. However, it’s not like we can’t survive without each other. After I’ve lost William, aren’t I still living just the same?”
Isabelle stared at Matilda with a serious look on her face.
So this was why Matilda would always come up with all sorts of excuses whenever she mentioned the idea of visiting her at the Constance Residence.
After that, Matilda would resort to saying that she had been living at the Flintstones Residence. So she had probably gotten divorced back then, huh?
Isabelle initially wanted to take advantage of Matilda to get on the Constance Family’s good side and find a way to get close to John.
However, now that Matilda was like this...
Matilda didn’t even notice Isabelle’s facial expression as she kept talking and daydreaming about how she would never consider it if William tried to contact her again.
After leaving William, she also said that she wanted to find someone way better than William.
From the sound of it, it seemed like Matilda was dissatisfied and was trying to console herself.
Isabelle stopped talking as Matilda continued babbling as well.
To be honest, Matilda held a grudge after going to the Constance Residence just now. William and Old Mrs. Constance sounded determined as they decided that they wanted to announce William and Matilda’s divorce to the public.
Matilda knew that her reputation would be gone entirely the moment this news was announced to the public.
The Flintstone couple also wished to take things slow, but it seemed like the Constance Family had reached an agreement and had made a decision.
Although Matilda was upset about it, she couldn’t do anything. She could only complain so that she would feel better about it.
After going on for a while, Matilda finally realized that Isabella hadn’t said anything at all.
Staring at Isabelle, Matilda asked, “What’s wrong, Isabelle?”
However, Isabelle smiled and didn’t say anything.
After pondering for a moment, Matilda tried to assure her. “Don’t be worried, for I’ll still be at your side regarding you and John. I’ll still try to create more opportunities to help you to get closer to John since I’ve always decided on you as my daughter-in-law.”
Still, Isabelle couldn’t listen to all these any longer.
