Matilda merely chuckled without giving a reply, which was a silent admission to Sophia’s guess.
Sophia smacked her lips. “That’s good too. Now that you have declared your relationship with Mr. Constances’
cooperation, I believe that Yolanda will know what to do next.”
Then, she placed her hand on Matilda’s shoulder. “I’m a little curious though. Did Yolanda contact him lately?”
With her eyes fixed on the comments, Matilda’s lips curled upward. “She has been calling him, but she’s a smart
woman and did not say anything problematic in the call. They simply chatted with each other like friends.”
In the beginning, Matilda would take the chance to speak beside William during such phone conversations in order
to make her presence clear to Yolanda.
For the first few times, Matilda could sense Yolanda’s awkwardness in the presence of a third person.
However, after a couple of times, when Yolanda called William, she’d ask if Matilda was around and even greet her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYolanda was very skilled and impeccable in her act, which was something observed by Matilda.
On the other hand, Sophia was a little perplexed. “If she acts this way, you can’t even accuse her of behaving out of
line.”
“That’s the point,” Matilda replied. “This is exactly why it’s hard to deal with her.”
From the start, Yolanda behaved as if she was innocent and was not going after anything.
In contrast, Matilda only knew how to make a scene to get William’s attention in the past. It backfired and made
him think of her as an unreasonable woman.
After that, Sophia had nothing more to say, so she stared at William’s Facebook timeline.
In the comment section of the photo, they could spot Yolanda’s comment.
She sent a smiling emoji with a comment that read, ‘You look kinda handsome in an apron!’
There was nothing wrong with the comment, but Matilda definitely felt uncomfortable reading it.
If it was a friend who had left this comment, Matilda would have been fine with it. But knowing Yolanda, she
definitely had an ulterior motive.
Sophia reached out to take William’s phone as she gestured for Matilda to join William with a lift of her chin.
Matilda immediately understood once she looked at Sophia, who urged her once more with a smile.
“Go over.” Hence, Matilda tidied her hair and walked over to William, who was seated beside Old Mrs. Constance
and was chatting with the old lady. When she went over, William peeled a tangerine for her. Sophia quickly pointed
William’s phone camera in the direction. During the conversation with Old Mrs. Constance, William peeled a section
of the tangerine and fed it to Matilda. If this had happened on a normal day, Matilda would have felt shy and
insisted on not being fed. However, she accepted his loving gesture this time. Standing at her spot, Sophia took a
video of the interaction and posted it to William’s Facebook. She hadn’t planned to insert any caption, but right
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbefore she posted it, she deliberately added two cringeworthy red heart emojis. This should make it clear, right?
After she was done with posting, Sophia tapped out of Facebook and headed over to join the group with William’s
phone in her hand. Taking a seat beside Matilda, she shoved the phone into Matilda’s hand. Matilda immediately
took the phone and silently pushed it back into William’s pocket while talking with him.
All the while, Old Mrs. Constance’s gaze was darting between Matilda and Sophia, her lips curling into a smile.
Sophia accidentally met her eyes. Of course, she knew that Old Mrs. Constance was a shrewd lady and she
definitely saw through their trick. Perhaps, William was totally aware of it as well. After all, when Sophia was filming
William and Matilda, she did not hide her action at all. It was possible that William had noticed her taking the video.
Even so, he did not stop her, which meant that he must have tacitly approved her move. A while later, Sophia went
upstairs to call John and Logan down for dinner. The two grown men were huddled together in the study, poring
over a pile of documents.
