Chapter 780
“Why else?” Sophia turned to face Matilda. “She’s interested in your ex-husband, so naturally, she
wants to assimte into the family slowly. The first step would be to form good rtionships with those
in the Constance Family.”
Learning about what Ynda might be nning, Matilda frowned. “She really is bold enough to do that.
If it were me, I can’t do it. It feels so embarrassing.”
Recalling what happened, Sophiaughed. “Old Mrs. Constance was defending you just now.”
Matilda nodded. After some thought, she alsoy down. “I was truly surprised. I thought that she
doesn’t like me.”
Faced with her statement, Sophia replied, “You were really unlikable. But now you’re alright. What were
you thinking of all these years?”
Matilda didn’t know what she herself was thinking about, for she seemed to be rather muddled before.
Sophia was feeling sluggish, so she fell asleep after some murmuring. Lying there, Matilda was lost in
thought for a while before her eyes closed as well.
The two of them slept well into the evening.
Old Mrs. Constance had awoken quite some time ago and was listening to music while drinking tea
downstairs. Finally, she could not resist asking someone to go and call the two women toe down
and have a chat with her. The servant came down after a while and reported, “They’re both asleep. I
haven’t awakened them yet.”
The olddyughed. “Okay, then let them sleep. Back then, when they were both at home, it had
never been as peaceful as now.”
Back then, Matilda was always looking for a chance to make things difficult for Sophia. Chaos had
descended upon the family time after time, so byparison, although it was much quieter now, it was
also much more peaceful than before.
After waiting for a while, John and William returned. Old Mrs. Constance thought to herself that now
John came home after work and William didn’t work overtime anymore. She couldn’t helpughing
when she saw them entering the house.

As soon as John and William entered, they nced into the living room. Old Mrs. Constance spoke,
“You don’t have to search around. They’re both sleeping upstairs.”
John turned to go upstairs. “I’ll go take a look.”
William looked as if he wanted to follow John, but Old Mrs. Constance stopped him and said, “You
Stopping in his tracks, William thought for a while before turning around. He came to sit opposite his
mother. “Mom, what’s the matter?”
Old Mrs. Constance took a sip of the tea and then said, “Ynda was here today. Did you know about
this?”
William was obviously startled at the news, for his brows creased as he answered, “She came here? I
didn’t know that. What was she doing here?”
Old Mrs. Constance pointed in a direction with her chin. “She sent that over and said she came to see
me.” Smiling, she continued, “Why did shee to see me though? I’m just an old sack of bones.”
William turned to look where she was pointing and saw the gift basket of health products. His brows
were still furrowed together. “I didn’t know that she woulde over. T-They—”
Without allowing him to finish his sentence, Old Mrs. Constance interrupted, “Later, I went upstairs to
nap, so I have no idea what both of them talked about downstairs. If you want to know, you can ask
Matilda or Ynda.”
William exhaled sharply before muttering, “What did shee here for?”
Old Mrs. Constance’s voice was soft as she asked, “Ask yourself this, did you give her any hope?”
Hope? I hadn’t given Ynda any hope. All this while, I have been quite clear about things.
Old Mrs. Constance paused for a moment, then asked, “You’re already at such an age, so I’m not
going to nag you about this. However, when ites to rtionships, you shouldn’t drag it out like this.
You need to be aware of who you like and who you want to be with. What are you so hesitant for
anyway?”
William lowered his gaze. “About this matter, I don’t know what to do right now.”
