Gazing at the picture on the grave, Sophia said, “I had a dream last night. Grandpa was in my dream, and so were you.”
With a sneer, Matilda jeered, “I guess it was a bad dream after all.”
“Indeed.” Sophia sighed. “I dreamed of you scolding me, blaming me for not being able to bring any blessings into the family. Not only did John have to be involved in this, but Grandpa didn’t even get better.”
These words were the exact phrases which Matilda had repeatedly used against Sophia.
Thinking about it, Matilda asked, “Does John know you’re here?”
“Nope.” Glancing at the mountains at afar, Sophia reckoned it was a scenic view here, and it somehow calmed one’s soul.
Pressing her lips together, Matilda hesitated to speak her mind. But in the end, she blurted, “Before Old Mr. Constance left, he held my hand, asking me to be nice to you and to take good care of you.”
Clearly, Matilda had failed to do as she was told. In fact, she had agreed to be nice, but she was often absent-minded, so she had forgotten all about it the next day.
A moment later, Matilda turned around and casted a glance at Sophia. “Honestly, I didn’t like you at all. To be exact, I hate you. If it wasn’t for you, John and Belle are probably married by now.”
Nodding her head, Sophia agreed, “Yep. If it wasn’t for me, John’s life would probably be perfect.” At that, she turned to face Matilda. “However, I’m curious. Do you really think John likes Isabelle?”
Hearing that, Matilda was dumbstruck and snapped as if by conditioned reflex, “Of course he likes her! What’s not to like about her?”
Putting on a smile, Sophia said, “Really? I’m confused, then. You see, since John and I are now divorced, nothing is holding him back. If he really liked Isabelle, why didn’t they just get together officially? Why is he putting Isabelle in such an awkward position?”
Pursing her lips, Matilda stared at Sophia.
Without getting a reply, Sophia went on, “You’ve read the news, right? Instead of approaching Isabelle, John had hooked up with some random woman in the bar. Is that how he shows his affection toward Isabelle?”
Clicking her tongue, Sophia ridiculed, “If that’s love, it’s just heartbreaking.”

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...
