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 nning 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 ce all the me 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 shed 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
Ynda, and I left after taking a look at him.”
After some contemtion, John decided against saying anything as he wasn’t exactly sure what was
going on between William and Ynda. Personality-wise, Ynda was indeed better than Matilda, and
men tend to lean toward gentle and thoughtful women. Even if William was interested in Ynda, John
could actually understand the reason behind it.
Since rtionships 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.
cing 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.”
