Next One Is a Babe Chapter 673

Matilda snorted out loudly and looked at him as though he was an idiot. “If she really wants to remarry

you because of the baby, she wouldn’t have waited until yesterday to break the news to you. Listen

here, my silly boy. She was planning to hide this from you in the beginning. Don’t think too highly of

yourself because she isn’t even interested in you.”

Casting her an unhappy look, he blurted, “You wouldn’t speak so badly of me in the past.”

That was when she shut her trap. There were many things in the past which shouldn’t be brought up,

and whenever she recalled the things she had done before, she would unwittingly cringe and feel

uneasy.

In the past, she had been too unreasonable, but still, not everything was her fault.

Pursing her lips, she finished her tea before saying in a soft voice, “During this period when I’m living

by myself, I can’t fall asleep at night and that got me thinking, what had I done before that resulted in

this turn in my life now? I had such a good life before this, so I couldn’t get it at all.”

Previously, when she was in the Constance Family, putting aside the amount of envy from other people

that status brought her, people had to show her respect; even Old Mrs. Constance would usually

tolerate her.

Despite that, when it came to the end, Old Mrs. Constance was the most determined one to abandon

her. Even though William seemed to be hesitating, she could tell that his patience for her had worn out.

Exactly when did these people change their attitudes toward her? She thought about this over and over

in her head, and felt that it was around the time when Sophia returned to live in the old residence

again. During that period, Sophia had zero regards for her and their conflicts turned even more severe.

Thereafter, Old Mrs. Constance kept reprimanding her.

At the thought of this, she would be reminded of that kick Sophia gave her, and it was humiliating that

she was kicked by a youngster. Nevertheless, looking at it objectively now, Matilda thought that Sophia

was also partly responsible for it even though she couldn’t place all the blame on her.

Hmm, I should really find time to speak about our past feud with Sophia.

Turning to look at her, John broke into a smile after a while. “Dad should be seeing the way you are

now. You’re a changed person.”

Annoyance flashed across her face at the mention of William. “Don’t bring up your father. I saw him

yesterday when I was out.”

Surprised, John asked, “And?”

Sighing, she said, “He didn’t see me. He was shopping in the mall, probably getting something for

Yolanda, and I left after taking a look at him.”

After some contemplation, John decided against saying anything as he wasn’t exactly sure what was

going on between William and Yolanda. Personality-wise, Yolanda was indeed better than Matilda, and

men tend to lean toward gentle and thoughtful women. Even if William was interested in Yolanda, John

could actually understand the reason behind it.

Since relationships were a problem each person had to sort out by themselves, John didn’t want to be

involved in their matters. In the midst of their chitchat, John heard the sound of the window opening

from upstairs, so he hurriedly turned to look upward.

Sure enough, it was Sophia who had woken up. Pulling back the curtains, she opened the windows

and leaned out while scratching her head.

John grinned. “Wash up now, and then we can eat.”

Sophia appeared groggy with half-closed eyes as she stared at the both of them downstairs for a few

seconds before grunting and disappearing from the window.

Placing a hand on John’s shoulder, Matilda said, “You’re going to be a father soon. I don’t know

whether I should be happy or not about it. In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, but it feels

just like yesterday when I recall how you were next to me when you were just a boy.”
