After Matilda hung up the call, Sophia leaned against the bedhead and thought that something must have happened to her. Putting down the phone, she started spacing out.
Her stomach felt much better now. It seems that I was really too agitated just now. Anyway, the problem between Kay and I have been settled. From now on, I have nothing to do with her anymore. Hopefully, I won’t see her again for the rest of my life.
A while later, Matilda gave Sophia a call. When the call was connected, she let out a sigh and lamented, “It’s killing me. Fortunately, you made the effort to call me just now, otherwise I wouldn’t have an excuse to leave.”
Sophia laughed. “What’s wrong? What happened to you?”
Smacking her lips, Matilda replied, “After I returned home, my mom said it was embarrassing for me to keep pestering William, as the Constances would look down on me. So, she’d arranged a date for me.”
“What?” Sophia asked in shock. “You mean your mom made you go on a date? Well, she’s really eager to marry you off again.”
In fact, Matilda’s mother didn’t say it was a date. She just thought that Matilda had too few friends, so she decided to introduce a suitable man to her daughter. Since she didn’t make it clear that it was a date, it was hard for Matilda to reject her.
Earlier, the man called Matilda to ask her out. She didn’t want to go, but the man’s attitude was rather sincere. He just said that he felt bored after having dinner, so he decided to ask her out for a walk. Thinking to make it clear to the man that she wasn’t looking for a new boyfriend, she agreed to it.
Feeling curious, Sophia asked, “What does the man look like? In comparison to Master William, who is more handsome?”
Matilda burst into laughter. “Well, I’m not going to make a comparison between them.” The man is gentle and he speaks in a slow manner. It seems that he’s a mild-tempered man, Matilda thought.
