Sophia broke away from John’s embrace and changed the subject. “When does your dad intend for us to go back there? I don’t actually want to go to the Constance Residence, but I suppose I can put up with it for a while if it means I can play cupid for him and Madam Flintstone.”
John thought for a while. “The sooner, the better. I’ll start getting busy soon, so I’m worried if you’re both here. If you go over to the Constance Residence, there will be many people taking care of you there. That way, I’ll feel more reassured.”
Sophia had no opinion on where exactly she should spend her days. “I’ll just follow whatever you guys plan.”
John felt assured after hearing her words.
That night, they did not talk much. John went off to work the next morning. Just as Sophia finished her breakfast, someone came by and said that he was there to bring Sophia and Matilda to the Constance Residence.
That’s incredibly quick!
The Constance Residence had everything that they would need, so they didn’t need to bring anything. The three of them got into a car and left at once.
William had probably told Old Mrs. Constance about their arrival in advance because she was already waiting at the door. Seeing Sophia coming over, a broad smile bloomed on her face.
Matilda was the first to get out of the car. She then helped Sophia get down as well.
Old Mrs. Constance looked at Matilda. “I heard you got hurt.”
Smiling, Matilda stated, “It’s not a serious issue. I’m okay.”
Hearing that, Old Mrs. Constance sighed. “We’ll get the family doctor to come and have a look later. No matter if it’s serious or not, it’s better to have it checked.”
As long as it isn’t William’s room, I’m fine with any other room. Matilda nodded and agreed with the arrangement.
