Matilda sat down across from Sophia. On the other hand, John sat beside Sophia while putting food
into her bowl. “You should eat up since you haven’t been eating a lot.”
Although John wasn’t a superb cook, the dishes he made were alright, so it was still an acceptable
meal if one wasn’t a picky eater. Observing John and Sophia after taking a bite out of her meal, Matilda
suddenly felt like being sent back in time.
The atmosphere around them was similar to when the Constances used to have a meal together. After
giving it some thought, she told John, “I heard that Yolanda was discharged.” Yolanda was the woman
who took care of William.
John hummed in response. “But due to her multiple injuries, she will have to take some time off to
recuperate even after that.”
With her lips pulled into a thin line, Matilda said, “Since your father is such a yes man, I bet he would go
take care of her.”
John was smiling when he replied, “I am unsure as to how things went, but Yolanda had a maid by her
side, so my father didn’t really need to do anything.”
During the rest of the mealtime, Matilda couldn’t help but sulk. After they were finished, John went to do
the dishes, while Sophia left for the sofa. Matilda didn’t seem to be in a hurry to leave, as she looked
toward Sophia after hanging around and scanning the living room. “Are you having a good time in the
house that my son bought you?”
Despite her pointed question, Sophia wasn’t in the mood to bicker, so she gave Matilda a hum. “Yeah, I
am.”
Matilda snorted before saying, “Everybody was assuming that John was in the wrong, but if you look
closer, your divorce seemed to be beneficial to you. You got an astronomical sum out of it that normal
people couldn’t possibly earn.”
Sophia gave another hum before asking, “So why weren’t you willing to divorce William? From what I
gathered, he was willing to pay you an alimony, so it was also beneficial to you.” It was a mere
statement of the truth, so she said so in a calm manner as she wasn’t trying to come off as mocking.
Nonetheless, Matilda choked on her own words while staring at Sophia wide-eyed. “You—” However,
she calmed herself down after thinking about it. “You know nothing. I am not the same as you.”
Sophia gave her a nod. “True, you’re older than me, so men don’t look your way anymore.”
Taking a deep breath, Matilda shut up when she realized she could never gain the upper hand against
Sophia. Meanwhile, Sophia was still watching cartoons, as her interest was piqued after watching it for
some time. Matilda sat down beside her after going around in the house for a bit. Watching the cartoon
as well, she grumbled, “Why would anybody watch such a retarded program?”
Despite her complaint, she was nonetheless watching it. It wasn’t until a while later that Sophia asked,
“Say, how are things going with John’s father? Did you keep in touch?”
Sophia was merely asking out of curiosity. Staring at the TV, Matilda replied, “Nope, we didn’t meetup,
nor did we call each other.”
Sophia snorted before making fun of Matilda, remarking, “You’re still trying to sit on your high horse
even when it has come to this.”
Hissing, Matilda was obviously affronted by Sophia’s remark, but she said nothing to retaliate. Sophia
heaved a sigh before telling her, “You should follow your son’s example.”
Her movements hitched, Matilda turned to look at the kitchen to see John cleaning up the cooktop, and
he was surprisingly adept at it. He never used to do that while at home. After observing him for a while,
she caught on to what Sophia meant.
However, she knew she couldn’t possibly behave like how John did, as she had always been the
domineering one in the relationship. Even when she tried to meet up with William to express her
intention to remarry him, she was still the one in control of the situation. Sophia didn’t care what Matilda
thought, as she already did her part by offering the latter some advice, so she wouldn’t say anything
more.
Meanwhile, when John was finished with cleaning up, he served them some fruits. Matilda felt sorry for
him, as he never needed to do those back when living with the Constance household.
