Considering that Yolanda had made up her mind and made it all the way here, Matilda wasn’t confident in herself at
all now that she had to go against the other woman.
Standing at the yard outside, Matilda gazed into the house, wherein John and Sophia were watching television in the
living room. Sophia was seen roaring with laughter, and she sounded even louder than the television, while John
gazed gently at Sophia with a warm smile on his face.
At that sight, Matilda stopped abruptly and took in this scene.
If she had treated Sophia better, Sophia and John would probably still end up like this. Also, William and herself
might not have ended up divorced, and obviously, there wouldn’t be anyone else who would compete against her
for William.
A while later, Matilda entered the house and looked at the both of them. “It’s late. Aren’t you both going upstairs to
rest?”
The moment Sophia saw that Matilda was back, she immediately turned toward her. “Where were you? We thought
of going out to look for you.”
Shrugging, Matilda said, “Nowhere. I was just walking about. The streets get quite busy during the night. ”
Hearing that, Sophia looked out the window, but obviously, she didn’t see anything special.
With a grunt, Sophia stood up. “Anyway, those don’t interest me. Besides, I’m not a fan of crowded places, so I’m
better off staying at home.”
“Once this is settled, you can go out as you please,” John said as he rose up from his seat too.

her current mood, she would rather laze the day away.
Tapping lightly on her shoulders, John told her, “It’s late. Let’s go upstairs.”
Turning toward Matilda, Sophia said, “You’d better rest early too, and take care of yourself. Don’t think of anything
unnecessary.”
Hearing that, Matilda smiled. “Alright. Hurry up and get some sleep.”
Humming a little tune, Sophia went upstairs.
Sitting down at the couch, Matilda couldn’t help but think of the way Sophia nagged her just now, which made her
look very much like a real mother.
Frankly, this lady was a good person overall. In fact, Sophia was way better than she thought—outspoken, kind-
hearted, and even had a sense of propriety.
Leaning against the chair, Matilda took in a deep breath.
The next morning, when Sophia woke up, John was no longer at home.
Feeling a little lazy, she didn’t want to move out of the bed and planned to idle away by lying on the bed.
Not long later, Sophia heard voices coming from the yard, and it seemed like a big crowd.
Rolling out of bed, Sophia walked toward the window and saw a few cars parked at the front of their house.
There were also a few people standing in the yard.
At the sight, she hissed before immediately going for a quick wash up.
Fabian, that rascal! Did he actually inform Old Mrs. Blackwell about it?
Still, Sophia didn’t think that would be the case since Fabian didn’t seem like the type who would talk unnecessarily.
The moment Sophia was done washing up, Matilda walked in.
In a lowered voice, Matilda told her, “Sophia, you’d better go down now. The Blackwells are here.”
Putting on her clothes, Sophia asked, “Why are they here? They know I’m pregnant?”
Matilda nodded. “Of course. They’ve brought so many things, and they said it was all for you and the baby.”
With a grin, Sophia whined, “Oh God, it’s so intimidating, I simply can’t handle this.”
Leaning against the door, Matilda teased her by saying, “I guess nothing can be done now. They are all here
because of you, so you’d better brace yourself.”
Darting a side glance at Matilda, Sophia questioned, “Why do I have a feeling that you’re taking pleasure in my
misery?”
Matilda admitted it. “I hate to tell you this, but you’re right. I’m actually bubbling inside. You’ve always been
carefree, which is why I really can’t wait to see the look on your face later.”
Gritting her teeth, Sophia glowered at her. “Just you wait and see!”
Once Sophia was done dressing up, she immediately went downstairs.
