On the other side, John hung up the phone, looking a bit annoyed. He muttered to himself, “Why did he call at such a critical moment? Ugh, now everything’s messed up.” Sophia sat in the passenger seat next to him, which was slightly lowered. Her face was a little red.
Before the phone rang, John had already pressed himself on Sophia’s upper body and longingly left a trail of kisses on her. Although he knew that he couldn’t go overboard, he was still annoyed that such a passionate session was interrupted by a call.
Sophia relaxed for a while before she was able to calm down. She closed her eyes, a little annoyed at herself. Why was I so submissive? Why didn’t I put up a struggle? Now it appears as if I’ve accepted him.
John put down his phone and said with some frustration, “Well, let’s go back now. My father should be going home soon.” Sophia adjusted her seat back to the normal position without a word.
John drove rather fast all the way back, and when they got home, they happened to see William smoking at the door of the living room. Sophia lifted her head to see Matilda’s room was still illuminated with lights. Matilda hasn’t slept yet, so what is William doing out here?
Sophia was a little dissatisfied with him. This man really doesn’t understand romance at all.
She briefly greeted him and went upstairs to Matilda’s room. Matilda was still sitting on the bed in a trance.
Seeing her, Sophia went slowly over to the bed. “What’s going on between the two of you? I thought we’d created an opportunity for you today so that your relationship can improve by a single leap. Yet, one of you is upstairs while the other is downstairs. You really disappoint me for not making the most of this opportunity.”
Matilda did not look at Sophia. Instead, she just sat there staring at her own knees without saying anything. Sophia thought for a while before moving over to her. “What’s wrong? What did he say that made you unhappy?”
“Nothing,” Matilda murmured. Impatience rose in Sophia’s heart as she said, “Then what the hell is going on? Why aren’t you speaking?”
It was a long while before Matilda lifted her head and looked at Sophia. “I told him that I wish to let you go back to Constance Residence during your pregnancy because I feel that it’s unsafe here. T-Then…” She pursed her mouth, looking a little embarrassed.
Sophia raised her eyebrows. “Then?”
Matilda played with her hair in an effort to mask her mortification. “Then he asked me if I’ll go over too.”
Sophia thought about it and then grinned. “What do you mean? Does he want you to go over or not?”
Licking her lips, Matilda answered, “I’m not sure if it’s just wishful thinking, but I think he does want me to go over.”
At this, Sophia clapped her on the back. “That’s awesome then! If you go with me, I’ll go. Honestly, I really don’t feel like going there, as I don’t like the people there very much. But if you go, I’ll consider going too.” She paused for a few seconds before grinning again. “I’m sure you want to go though. Look at your face! I can tell in an instant.”
Matilda tutted, then tried to make herself look more sensible. “Balderdash! I haven’t even thought about it yet.”
Seeing Matilda’s reaction, Sophia couldn’t help but grin. “Carry on your act then.” She was a little excited. Standing up, she did some light exercise and commented, “Very good, it seems that the opportunity we created tonight is rewarding.”
Matilda thought for a while and then said to her, “Just now, Yolanda gave him a call, but it wasn’t anything that mattered. I think Yolanda is very gutsy. She knows how to fight for what she wants.”
Sophia nodded. “Yeah. Although I’ve only met her once, I think that she’s a decisive and competent woman. She’ll get what she aims for without caring about what other people think.”
Matilda nodded as well. Yolanda is really such a woman.
