At this, Matilda was a tad displeased. I was the one being beaten unilaterally. I look even worse for wear than Sophia, yet John hasn’t even asked after me ever since he came in until now. She looked at John. “John, you two are divorced, so you should be more circumspect.”
William frowned, very much disgruntled at her behavior now. “Zip it. You’ve created such a mess, yet you still have the temerity to chastise others here?” Matilda quickly pursed her lips, not daring to say a single word.
Meanwhile, Sophia remained expressionless. Without replying to John’s question, she merely said, “Go. You’ll run into the police if you tarry any longer.”
Matilda hurriedly scurried out while pulling William along. “Come, come, let’s go. Let’s go quickly.”
John, however, stood there for a few seconds as he stared at Sophia. Sophia sneered at his scrutiny. “Why, are you irked because I hit your mother again? Even so, just stifle it!”
Sighing, John went over and smoothed her hair for a bit. “If my mother comes again, lock the door and keep her out.” Her expression tense, Sophia took a step back, putting distance between them. John then slowly retracted his hand. “I’ll be going back first.”
“Hurry up and leave,” Sophia huffed, seemingly in utter exasperation.

Pivoting, John went out and joined William and Matilda who were already in the car. When he glanced at Sophia back at the house through the rear-view mirror, he saw that she’d already turned sideways and was combing her hair with her fingers. At this time, Matilda tapped the back of his seat. “Go, go! The police will be here soon.” Retracting his gaze, John then started the car.
Just after he’d started driving, a police car approached from the opposite side. The moment Matilda caught sight of the police, she shrunk into herself in terror and hid in the back seat. William twisted his head away, truly having no desire to gaze upon her. John merely drove off without even turning to take a look when he went past the police car. Through the rear-view mirror, he could see the police car slowly coming to a stop before Sophia’s house whereupon two police officers alighted and entered the courtyard. He let out a sigh of relief, yet his irritation grew. Matilda, on the other hand, patted her chest. “Phew, we left just in time.”
After driving for a while, John asked, “Mom, where do you want me to drop you off?”
This question rendered Matilda at a loss. Where to drop me off? She actually wanted to go back to Constance Residence, but she was the one who packed up and left back then. She was even a touch pompous when she left, so she truly couldn’t quite bring herself to say that she wanted to go back in front of William and John.
She peeked at William out of the corner of her eye, only to see that he hadn’t reacted at all, acting as though he hadn’t heard John’s question. Judging from his expression, he doesn’t want me to return to Constance Residence. Mild indignation inundated her. Never had he acted in such a manner throughout the years, but he’s now treating me so shoddily because of an outsider! Throwing a tantrum, she declared, “Drop me off at your maternal grandmother’s house. I’m not going back to Constance Residence!”
John didn’t try changing her mind, driving straight toward her parents’ house instead. No one said anything throughout the rest of the drive.

When the car came to a stop, Matilda dawdled, spending half a day just to open the car door. William naturally knew what she was trying to do, so he grew rather impatient. “Make it fast. We still need to go back to the office where loads of work are still waiting for us.”
Sulking, Matilda swung open the car door and climbed out. Without even bidding the two of them farewell, she stomped into the house. John then drove away with a sigh.
When he and William returned to the office, the Baileys were already there. Isabelle was there as well, but one could see that she wasn’t looking all that good despite her exquisite makeup.
