Chapter 778


    After hearing Ynda’s statement, Sophia replied, “Perhaps Dad felt that it wasn’t a big deal.”


    She could really change her form of address at any moment. Old Mrs. Constance raised her eyes and


    looked at Sophia, her lips curling up slightly.


    Thinking for a while, Matilda said to Ynda, “Have a seat. Don’t just stand there.”


    Ynda smiled half-heartedly but still sat down. She looked at Old Mrs. Constance and said, “I had


    wanted toe and visit you, but I was unwell, so I had to dy my visit.”


    Old Mrs. Constance noticed that Ynda was indeed not looking too good and could tell that she was


    exhausted. “It’s fine. I heard that you met with a car ident. Fortunately, nothing serious happened.”


    Nodding, Ynda exined, “That reflexive sidestep of mine saved my life.” Old Mrs. Constance


    continued to ask, “What did the driver say? They have to be careful in the future over this kind of thing.”


    Ynda’s expression was slightly awkward. “Yes. Their recklessness may bring about terrible


    consequences to others.”


    Sophia was an expert at observing others’ micro-expressions. Ynda is probably keeping something


    from us about the incident.


    Old Mrs. Constance then asked about Ynda’s parents. Ynda said that they had only kept contact


    through the phone. Her parents didn’t agree with her divorce, so they had some ill feelings for each


    other. She didn’t even tell her family about getting injured in the ident. With this exnation, she


    sessfully rified that there was indeed no one to take care of her, so it was normal for William to


    go over to her.


    After pondering, Old Mrs. Constance stated, “I’m sure that they love you regardless. The generation


    gap may cause differing opinions. You may not wish to listen to them, but you should try to understand


    where they areing from.”


    Ynda said she understood. Then, she smiled and said, “But I think it’s good for us to keep a distance


    from each other. They won’t worry about me so much, and I won’t feel so irritated by them.”


    Seemingly agreeing to her statement, Old Mrs. Constance said pointedly, “I suppose it’s essential to


    keep a distance sometimes. Since we should keep a distance from our parents, we should do the same


    with other people too, right?”


    As soon as Old Mrs. Constance’s words left her lips, all the people present were stunned. Ynda’s


    face turned pale in an instant. At her age, she would have to be really dull-witted if she couldn’t even


    tell the underlying meaning of those words.


    To Matilda’s surprise, Old Mrs. Constance actually advised Ynda to stay away. She had always


    thought that Old Mrs. Constance preferred a woman like Ynda. Although she was divorced, William


    was no longer young, so it would be ridiculous if he were to find a young woman as his wife. Besides, it


    wasn’t in his character to be with a girl who was young enough to be his own daughter.


    Sophia was startled as well but then quickly recovered herself andughed. “Yes, Grandma is right. No

    matter who we are with, we must know our ce.” Old Mrs. Constance smiled at that simply because


    Sophia had called her ‘Grandma’.


    It was a long time before Ynda pursed her mouth and agreed with them. Sophia could see through


    her difiture. In fact, she actually sympathized with her a little. Is it so wrong of her to fall in love


    with a man that we have to humiliate her like this?


    But the problem was that Ynda was really too brazen. If they didn’t try to dissuade her, she might


    actually try to do something. Considering how William was like, it wasn’tpletely out of the question


    for him to be interested in such a self-assured woman.


    Old Mrs. Constance had probably also thought of this. She had been feeling lethargic for quite some


    time, so after chatting with Ynda for a while, she became even more sluggish and could no longer


    continue talking. As such, Sophia got up and said to her, “Grandma, let me help you go upstairs and


    rest.”


    Hearing that, Old Mrs. Constance nodded in agreement. “Yes, of course. I’m up in my years now, so


    naturally, I’m not as energetic as you young people.”


    As Sophia helped Old Mrs. Constance upstairs, she took a look at Matilda. Coincidentally, Matilda also


    happened to look up. Their eyes met for a brief moment before both of them looked away quickly.


    Sophia knew that at that moment, Matilda had understood what she wanted to convey.
