Elder Mr. Bailey sighed. “She is a girl after all, so she’d be swayed by her emotions.” He continued, “Looks like we

can’t count on her to help Dexter.” Old Mr. Bailey didn’t say anything, and his father squinted at him. “We should do

this ourselves.” A long while later, Old Mr. Bailey nodded.

 

On the other hand, Sophia and Matilda strolled for a while longer before going back. “Did you see? Isabelle looked

like she was smiling, but she was upset,” Sophia said.

Matilda giggled. “Is that so? I didn’t know.”

Sophia looked at her. “Odd. What’s going on between you two? Are you guys fighting?”

“No.” Matilda looked at her through the corner of her eye. “And you make us sound like kids. I just think that maybe

Isabelle isn’t what I think she is. How should I put this? I think she’s more… complicated than I give her credit for.

But I’m not saying this is wrong. Nobody’s really naive, you know, but she disappointed me.”

Sophia nodded. Wait, we’re straying from the topic. “Well, you’re naive. You don’t even know where you went

wrong.”

Matilda glared at her. “Hey. Do you want my help in teaching John a lesson or not?”

Sophia grinned and went up to hold her arm. “Okay, okay, sorry. You’re the most scheming of all. Happy?”

 

That wasn’t exactly a compliment, so Matilda gave it a long thought, but she eventually nodded. “Fine. Apology

accepted.”

When they got home, John was talking to Zack on the phone. From the way he was talking, the matter they were

talking about seemed serious. Since she wasn’t going to talk to him, Sophia went upstairs.

When he saw her, John told Zack they’d talk about this when they met, then they made an appointment to meet up

at the company. When he hung up, Matilda asked, “Going out, are you?”

 

John nodded. “Yeah. I have to handle some business.”

Matilda grunted. “Will you be coming back for lunch? We won’t be waiting if you aren’t.”

John stared at her. Not only was Matilda getting close to Sophia, but she was treating him differently. Even though

she was annoying, she loved John. No matter where or when, she was nice to him, but now she sounded like she

didn’t want him anywhere in the house. John took a deep breath and approached her. “What happened to Sophia?

Tell me.”

Matilda snorted and rolled her eyes. “You should know what you did. Why ask me? I promised Sophia I won’t tell, so

think about it on your own. Ask her if you can’t figure it out. Don’t ask me.”

As soon as she finished, Matilda was about to go upstairs, but John held her arm. “Why did you become so close to

Sophia, Mom? I thought you hated her. Is it because of her baby?”

Matilda pulled her hand back. “What? Are you worried I might bully her again after she gives birth? She’s so much

more important than I am, isn’t she?”
