Sophia paused and asked, “Are you guys done eating?” In fact, there was something else in her mind that she would like to ask, but with Richard around, she didn’t think it was a good time to bring up her confusion at that moment.
Matilda responded with an affirmative grunt. “We’re going shopping right now. Care to join us?”
Unsure about the situation on the other side, Sophia pondered on it and answered, “Just give me a moment. I’ll meet you guys back at the car.” In response, Matilda gave a positive reply and hung up the call. Soon, Sophia laid down her phone and shifted her gaze to John. “Madam Flintstone said she is done with her meal, but why do I have a feeling that things aren’t going as I think they should?”
Meanwhile, John, who overheard Matilda’s words on the phone, put down his fork and knife. “Let’s go there and have a look.” After that, Sophia and John proceeded to walk out of the restaurant, only to see William standing and smoking at the entrance.
It appears that he is not in a good mood. At the thought of that, Sophia walked closer and asked, “What’s wrong? Why are they all gone?”
William shot a gaze at Sophia and responded with an affirmative grunt. “They were done, so they left.”
Soon, Sophia noticed Richard’s car parked not far away. Upon letting out a sigh, she didn’t know what she should ask. Instead, she reassured William by telling him, “Don’t worry. I’ll tag along to see if everything is alright. With me around, I doubt anything out of the ordinary could happen between them both.”
In the meantime, William gave a brief reply to signify his agreement, even though he didn’t know what Sophia meant by saying that. Not long after that, John patted Sophia’s shoulder and said, “Take it easy. Make sure you don’t stress yourself out.”
Sophia then responded by waving her hand as she left the place.
