Chapter 80


    Perhaps Sophia had heard it wrongly, but his words somewhat touched her.


    At this point, she quickly turned away and looked outside the window, pursing her lips and refusing to


    say a word.


    After putting Sophia and John’s suitcases in the trunk, Zack got in the passenger seat while Mrs.


    Constance and Isabelle were still standing next to their sedan.


    Even though Isabelle looked fine, Mrs. Constance did not look too pleased.


    Leaning on the car window, Sophia saw the reluctant look on Mrs. Constance’s face as she got in the


    car, and how hard she then mmed the car door.


    The sight of this made Sophiaugh.


    Their car took off first while Mrs. Constance’s car followed.


    Throughout the car ride, no one was talking, and the car was heading toward the Constance


    Residence.


    It was a familiar route for Sophia.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    Looking at the view outside the windows on both sides of the car, Sophia felt rather despondent.


    When she moved out of the Constance Residence, she thought that she would never return, but look at


    how quickly things changed.


    The car kept on going until they entered the front yard of the Constance Residence, which was situated


    halfway up a hill; the surrounding area was extremely quiet.


    As Old Mr. and Mrs. Constance both loved the countryside, there were many trees and nts around


    the Constance Residence.


    Behind the Constance Residence was a bamboo forest. It was very well managed and it made the


    environment feel quiet and peaceful.


    Sophia opened the door herself when Old Mrs. Constance was seen standing at the entrance of the


    main building and watching them while a maid stood next to her.


    Sophia saw Old Mrs. Constance the moment she turned around.


    During her time being married to John of just under a year, Old Mrs. Constance was impartial toward


    her.


    She never gave her any trouble but neither did she ever protect her.


    Hence, she felt the same toward Old Mrs. Constance. It was neither cold nor hot.


    After Zack helped move their suitcases from the car, with the help of the maid, Old Mrs. Constance


    slowly walked up to them.


    As all the members of the Constance Family were now at the office, this ce seemed to be unusually


    quiet.


    Old Mrs. Constance looked at Sophia and said rather calmly, “You’re here.”


    Sophia grunted. “Old Mrs. Constance, good to see you.”


    It did not take long for her to change the way she addressed her as she used to call her Grandma.


    Old Mrs. Constance sighed and turned to Zack.


    Since Zack was a frequent visitor, Old Mrs. Constance knew who he was.


    She thenmented, “You just got off the ne, didn’t you? Eat something before you go back.”


    Zack gave Sophia a look and exhaled. He then conveniently epted the invitation.


    Now, the car that Mrs. Constance was in slowly pulled up, and Mrs. Constance seemed rather nervous


    as she got out of the car right after it stopped.


    After that, she went to the back of the car and dragged Isabelle over when Isabelle had just stepped


    out of the car.


    Mrs. Constance then walked up to John. “John,e in the house and eat something. We’ll talk when


    we eat. You must be tired.”


    It was too obvious what Mrs. Constance was trying to do, and even Old Mrs. Constance could no


    longer take it.


    Old Mrs. Constance then sighed, looking slightly stern. “Matilda.”


    Mrs. Constance paused and turned to Old Mrs. Constance. She then pursed her lips and moved aside.


    Old Mrs. Constance looked at Isabelle rather ndly before turning around. “Let’s go in. You all must


    be tired. We’ll eat something before you all get some rest.”


    They all walked into the main building as Zack carried Sophia’s suitcase and a maid came to help carry


    John’s.


    The dining room in the main building was not too big given the number of people living at the


    Constance Residence.


    However, everyone did not usually eat together.


    All the dishes in the dining room had already been served on the table. Without even going in, one


    could tell how much food there was on the table just from a quick nce.


    After the maid and Zack ced the suitcases in the corner, they all went into the dining room together.


    The Constance Family was particr about eating, so they handed out a hot towel to everyone to wipe


    their hands.


    Meanwhile, Sophia found a seat and sat down right away,pletely ignoring everyone else around


    her.


    This seat was where she used to sit, which was right next to John.


    Mrs. Constance was stunned by that. She then frowned as she stared at Sophia.


    How could Sophia sit down and start wiping her hands before the older ones did?


    Old Mrs. Constance gave Sophia a look as well, but she did not get as annoyed as Mrs. Constance.


    Sitting in her seat, Sophia proceeded to wipe her hands. “Are you guys sitting down? I’m starving. I


    don’t want to wait any longer.”


    She thought it would be ridiculous for her to entertain some meaningless rituals with a bunch of people


    who were no longer rted to her, especially after having not eaten anything since the morning while


    on the ne.


    Meanwhile, John also sat down and waved at everyone. “Everyone, please take a seat. We haven’t


    eaten anything since this morning. We’re indeed hungry.”


    Old Mrs. Constance was helped by a maid as she slowly sat down before Mrs. Constance followed


    suit.


    Isabelle was seated opposite John, and they two could see each other as long as they lifted their heads


    —Sophia and Mrs. Constance were in a simr position.
