It was totally unnecessary. Old Mrs. Constance knew that Sophia had a clear head, and she was quick to pick up
hints. So, Old Mrs. Constance said nothing more.
Also, Matilda stayed for lunch.
While eating, Sophia mentioned that she met Lady Jennifer, but neither of them said hello to each other.
Old Mrs. Constance shook her head helplessly. “I’m sure things will improve once Dylan finds a girlfriend and settles
down. To be honest, there’s no need to be so hung up on these things. They’re too narrow-minded, to say the
least.”
Sophia took a shrimp and peeled it. “I’m not hung up on it. Anyway, I’ve never had a good relationship with them,
so I think it doesn’t matter how I behave toward them.”
Old Mrs. Constance thought about it and commented, “Actually, I used to think that you and Dylan are a very good
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmatch.”
Matilda quickly said, “Mom, don’t say that. If John hears this, he will be angry.”
Her address of Old Mrs. Constance as ‘Mom’ was so natural that both Sophia and Old Mrs. Constance didn’t pay
much attention to it.
Old Mrs. Constance smiled to herself
“I’m only saying this in John’s absence. I definitely wouldn’t dare to say this if he’s here.” Then, Old Mrs. Constance
continued, “You should be aware that at that time, John’s grandfather was seriously ill, and he was worried about
Sophia. At first, he actually wanted to entrust Sophia to Dylan’s family. At that time, Dylan didn’t seem to be against
the idea, but he went back and discussed it with his parents, who were unwilling to accept her. Dylan had always
listened to his parents, so he came over to reject the suggestion. But when he rejected it, I could see that he was a
bit hesitant.” At this, Old Mrs. Constance smiled again. “To be honest, considering Dylan’s attitude back then, if
John’s grandfather had insisted on him marrying Sophia, Dylan would probably agree to it. The boy is kind and
compassionate.” Old Mrs. Constance then glanced at Sophia before adding, “But later, John’s grandfather discussed
with him, and he agreed first, so we thought that since he had agreed, then we should not press the issue with
Dylan.” Sophia pursed her mouth and did not speak. Meanwhile, Matilda said, “Yes, yes. At that time, John was the
one who suggested breaking off the engagement with Isabelle. I didn’t agree to it back then, but John straight up
went to the Bailey Residence and broke it off. I was so angry that I argued with him over this matter. He told me
then that he had no feelings for Isabelle, and he didn’t feel sad to lose her.” Matilda laughed at herself and
continued, “I was quite dumb back then. At that time, John had told me very clearly that he didn’t like Isabelle, but I
was the one who insisted on matching them together. Then, I kept talking about how great they were together in
front of you, as well as how John had always said he felt reluctant to break up with Isabelle. But the truth was that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJohn never said that.
” Blinking, Sophia thought about it. Matilda had indeed said many times before that John was reluctant to break
things off with Isabelle and he regretted his decision. However, she had never taken it seriously and assumed that
Matilda was just saying nonsense. After they chatted for a while, Sophia’s phone rang. She fumbled for it and took a
look, then flashed the screen at the two older women. “It’s from John.” Old Mrs. Constance and Matilda both smiled.
“Sure enough.” Squeezing the phone, Sophia thought for a while. “I’ll go out and pick it up. We’re gonna talk for a
bit.” Old Mrs. Constance waved her hand. “Go, go. We don’t really want to hear what you two have to say. I’m sure
it’s nothing more than sweet nothings that young people say to each other.” Actually, Sophia didn’t want to say
those sweet nothings to John. She just wanted to talk to him about the things that had been brewing in her heart
over the past two days. John had looked so pitiful in the parking lot this morning. Thinking about it now, she still felt
a little bit uneasy and regretful of her attitude toward him.
