“Was she alone?” Matilda asked, startled.
Sophia shook her head, and it was John who answered, “There was a man next to her. I think that’s her matchmake partner, and they look rather compatible. We saw that they were chatting happily and seemed to be getting along well.”
Nodding, Matilda said, “That’s good.”
Feeling a little nosy, Sophia’s eyes drifted toward William. In the end, she didn’t see any reaction from him as he kept his eyes fixed on his laptop with a frown.
Matilda noticed the look in her eyes and chuckled. Patting her shoulder, she said in a hushed voice, “Yolanda called him just two days ago.”
Raising an eyebrow, she asked hurriedly, “What did she say? Why is she calling now?”
Sighing, Matilda answered, “Well, she didn’t say anything inappropriate. She said that that man had proposed to her and wanted to ask for William’s opinion if she should agree to the proposal or not.”
A helpless smile flashed across Sophia’s face; anyone could tell how narrow-minded that move was. If she really wanted some opinion, she should have called her parents instead of a man whom she had some complicated relations with. There was no way she would believe that Yolanda was not up to some small tricks in her heart.
And it looked like Matilda knew about her intentions as well.
“Doesn’t she know if she wants to accept the proposal or not?” Old Mrs. Constance cried. “William doesn’t even know that man, so what opinion would he have?” With a disgusted look, she added, “She’s still harboring such thoughts at this time. A man never knows contentment. If she keeps this up, she’ll not enjoy her life.”
Since she was speaking quite loud, William must have heard it as well, and the edge of Sophia’s lips curled upward with sheer delight.
John reached out and stroked her chin with his finger. “Just smile if you want to. Why are you holding back?”

So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
