Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 733

When she looked up again, she saw William in the living room. Matilda frowned by reflex, and she muttered, “Why is he here?”

Ms. Cannon went to see who it was, and she smiled. “Why? You don’t want to see him?”

Matilda sighed. “Not exactly. I’m just surprised.” She then went back to the preparations, but Matilda would keep stealing glances at William. He was sitting on the sofa, chatting with the kids, looking happy.

Matilda fell into a daze. When they were in the Constance Residence, everyone would be chatting happily as long as she wasn’t around; she was a party pooper. Once preparations were done, Matilda went out. “Dinner’s ready, so take your talk to the table.”

William was here for dinner anyway, so they went to the dining room together, but Matilda went to the yard instead.

Sophia came out a moment later and stood beside her. “What’s the matter? Why are you evading him?”

Matilda smiled. “I am not. I’m just here for some fresh air.”

Sophia smirked quietly. A while later, another car came in, and it stopped beside William’s, much to the ladies’ surprise. As they watched the car door open, a woman came out of the car, and she waved at the people in it before it drove away.

Matilda smiled mockingly. Sophia didn’t know who that woman was, so she was surprised to see her coming up to her.

When the woman came to them, she smiled at Matilda. “Hi, Matilda.”

Matilda let out a long sigh. “You’re here. Come in.”

Sophia blinked at her quietly as she walked toward the living room.

As the woman walked, she said, “I was planning on going to the Flintstone Residence, but then I heard you weren’t staying there.”

Sophia glanced at Matilda. “Who is she?” she mouthed.

Matilda looked at her from the corner of her eye and kept quiet for a moment. “Yolanda,” she mouthed back.

Sophia’s eyes widened. Yolanda? Why is she here? Then she smacked her lips. Ms. Bloom looks really elegant. She’s calm and charming. Not even the current Matilda could match her in terms of vibe, let alone the old her.

When the ladies came back into the living room, Ms. Cannon seemed surprised that they were receiving another guest. “And you are?”

Her gasp attracted the men’s attention, and when they came out, William seemed surprised to see Yolanda there. “What brings you here?”

Yolanda looked surprised too. “Oh, you’re here, too? I’m here to see Matilda.”

John greeted her and asked, “Have you had dinner, Ms. Bloom? We’re just digging in, so join us.”

Yolanda waved him down. “You guys carry on. It’s fine.”

“Mom,” John said. “Ms. Bloom is here to see you, so go talk to her.”

Matilda went up to her. “Have a seat. Honestly, I’m surprised you’d come here.”

Turning around, John grabbed his father’s arm. “Let’s carry on with dinner. I need to talk to you about the company.”

William stopped for a moment before going back to the dining room with John.

Sophia smiled with pursed lips. These guys really know how to read the room. She didn’t think she was needed in the chat between the older ladies, so Sophia went into the dining room too.
