Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 841

In response, Sophia blinked a few times before she sniggered.

However, Old Mrs. Constance didn’t share her amusement. “I’m a little worried about him. After all, I’ve never seen him like that. Was it because of some setback at work? He did overtime work last night, but when he got back, I was already in bed. Then, he was gone early this morning even before having breakfast. I guess I don’t really know my son sometimes.”

Sophia nodded slowly. “Well, I saw him yesterday; once in the day and the other time when we came back at night.” In fact, Sophia didn’t think it was necessary to hide the matter about Matilda from Old Mrs. Constance. Well, Old Mrs. Constance is a receptive and open person, so maybe she can even be of help. At the thought of that, she went on to tell the old lady the details about what had happened in the afternoon on the day before, including Richard’s interior decoration style.

Surprised, Old Mrs. Constance asked, “What? Matilda went for a blind date?”

Sophia pursed her lips. “Well, I doubt that was a blind date. Anyway, while it seems to me that Madam Flintstone isn’t interested in him, the Flintstone Family appears to be a little desperate, for they wanted her to try and work things out with this decent man.”

Old Mrs. Constance nodded. “I guess I understand why they feel that way since Matilda is no spring chicken anymore. I guess Natasha will never rest assured watching her daughter spending the rest of her life alone.”

Sophia agreed and said, “Exactly. That’s why the Flintstone Family has been actively finding a Mr. Right for Madam Flintstone. Furthermore, Madam Flintstone is such a likeable lady now, isn’t she? From the looks of things yesterday, Richard really treated her like a queen, which was a sign that he is into her.” While Old Mrs. Constance responded with an affirmative grunt, Sophia pretended to look worried and added, “Nevertheless, I can tell that Master William is still in love with Madam Flintstone. Therefore, what he has to do now is to seize the opportunity and win Madam Flintstone over before it’s too late. Otherwise, he is going to live the rest of his life in regret."

Old Mrs. Constance shot a gaze at Sophia. “You’re really full of ‘pearls of wisdom’, aren’t you?”

Upon hearing that, Sophia chuckled in response and replied, “Honestly, even I’m anxious for the two of them. In fact, we can all tell that both of them are still in love with each other, but unfortunately, they don’t see eye to eye with each other, and we’re all frustrated about that.”

Old Mrs. Constance smiled and said, “I guess their fates lie in both of their own hands. I doubt there is anything we can do to change their minds.”

Well, Old Mrs. Constance has a point, but both of them are way too indecisive and hesitant. If we don’t do anything to help from the sidelines, we’ll probably never get to see them back together until we grow old. After a brief contemplation, Sophia said, “I’ll talk to John about this and get him to check on Master William later.”

“Yeah, that’s a good idea. It’ll at least put our mind to ease,” Old Mrs. Constance replied in agreement.

Later, Sophia proceeded to take her breakfast, while Old Mrs. Constance had her maid accompany her on a walk. After her breakfast, Sophia gave Matilda a call. She could deduce from the latter’s hushed voice that she was at the Flintstone Residence at the moment. Soon, Sophia was told that Old Mrs. Flintstone had invited Richard over for a meal.

As soon as she learned that, Sophia helplessly said, “Oh, come on! Why is your mother so desperate? It’s only been a few days, and she is already inviting him to your home.” Well, if that’s the case, they’re probably going to get married in another two more days, which doesn’t seem like a good thing.

Although Sophia was initially planning to invite Matilda to the Constance Residence to have some fun, she was forced to give up on that idea after learning what she had been told. Since Richard is visiting, I bet Matilda is not going anywhere today. Without saying anything much, Sophia hung up the phone and gave John a call.

A few moments later, John finally answered the call. Sophia could discern that he seemed to be at a rather empty place, for the voices of the people speaking in the background seemed to be echoing. After a pause, she asked, “Are you not in the office now?”

John hesitated for a second and said, “Nope.”

Upon hearing that, Sophia let out a sigh, knowing that he must be in the middle of some important business. Nah, I doubt he is out there playing around, so maybe I should leave him alone for now.
