Chapter 996
When it was almost time for Constance Group’s lunch break, Matilda took out her phone. She intended to call William and tell him that she
was waiting for him here.
However, before the call got through, she saw a cab stop at the entrance of Constance Group. The one who pushed the door and got out of the
car was the very person Matilda hade here to guard against.
Laughing all of a sudden, Matilda put the phone back into her bag, then slowly got up and walked to the entrance of the cafe. By now, Ynda
had entered the lobby of Constance Group.
The employees were leaving one after another as the elevators sent waves after waves of people to the ground floor. However, those who
came out were all office workers.
Ynda sat down on the sofa in the lobby. After waiting for a while, she finally saw John and Williaming out of the elevator together.
She quickly stood up with a smile on her face. “William!”
Both John and William were startled to see her there and stopped in their tracks.
William frowned at her. “Why are you here?”
Yndaughed. “I’m just passing by.”
John didn’t leave. Instead, he stood still, looking like he was waiting for William. Ynda blinked at William and suggested, “Let’s have
lunch together. I went to the hospital for a body examination today, and the doctor said that I’m recovering pretty well. I remembered how you
cared for me in the past, so I think it’s time for me to show my gratitude.”

William’s expression did not rx
“You want to have lunch together? But today, I’m…” Before he could finish his words, someone came in from the entrance of the lobby and a
familiar voice rang out. “William! Are you on your lunch break now?” Taken aback, William raised his eyes, only to see Matildaing his
way. In a sh, his serious frown disappeared from his face. Then, he waved at Matilda and called out, “Why are you here?” Matilda went
over and instinctively wrapped her hands around William’s arm. As the two held hands, she turned to look at Ynda and put on a surprised
expression. “You’re here too?” Ynda smiled at her. “Yes, I went to the hospital just now, and I passed by here when I was going home.”
Nodding, Matilda then turned to look at William again. “I also passed by thepany and thought that it should be your lunch break now, so I
wanted to ask you to go back to Constance Residence for a meal together. Besides, Sophia called me just now and said that she and Mom have
been feeling bored at home all day. She asked if we’re going back at noon. You guys should be free, right? Then let’s go back and have a meal
together.” John hurriedly spoke up next to her. “Yes, the house has indeed been a bit too deserted.” William nodded as well. “I just mentioned
this to John a while ago. I intended to drive home to pick you up, but I didn’t expect you toe here.” When they chatted like this, Ynda
became a little awkward as she stood there. Matilda waited until the conversation ceased before turning to look at her. “Why don’t youe
along too? It’ll be livelier with more people around.” Ynda hurriedly waved a hand.
“Since you guys are going back for lunch, I won’t bother you any further. Go on. I’ll be going home then.” Matilda nodded. “Okay, we’ll say
our goodbyes here. We’ll leave first.” Aftering out of thepany together, William didn’t drive but got into Matilda’s car. John drove
his own car, and the three of them left from thepany entrance. Ynda stood on the side of the road, watching the two cars disappear one
after another as her expression slowly becameplicated. Back then, William would not reject her outright. Now, it seemed that she really
had no more chance to be with him. She waited for a while by the road. When a cab arrived, she got into the car and gave her home address.
Then, she leaned into her seat. Actually, she also knew that she had been too persistent. She should have known better and gotten over it much
earlier. What she was doing was simply like scratching a scratch-off lottery ticket.
