Chapter 952


    Samuel went along by saying, “Yes, I can’t believe that we’ll be one generation older soon. It’s said that


    time waits for no man. We have to admit that we’re old now.”


    Slightly annoyed, Jennifer said, “Well, William and his wife haven’t expressed their opinion yet. When


    our son has a child of his own, we’ll then be grandpa and grandma.”


    Displeased about the innuendo in Jennifer’s words, Owen shot his wife a look and chided, “Stop it. It’s


    a joyful asion today. Why did you have to make it unhappy for everyone?”


    Jennifer red back at her husband, but she didn’t dare utter a word.


    Walking over, Sophia shed a smile at them while John engaged in small talk with the rtives.


    Without looking at John and Sophia, Jennifer turned to speak to Virginia. Her petty action was pretty


    embarrassing for Owen. Nevertheless, John and Sophia didn’t mind it one bit.


    Jennifer’s action was too childish, as Sophia had never offended her before. Moreover, there was


    nothing immoral going on between Sophia and Dn. It was petty and unreasonable of her to keep


    picking on Sophia.


    When the small talk was over, John and Sophia returned to the main building.


    At this moment, Old Mrs. Constance, who was apanied by Matilda, was standing at the entrance


    of the main building. Matilda didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving, so she would most likely stay


    over.


    Thinking back, Sophia realized that just like herself, Matilda remained silent most of the time during the


    dinner. Perhaps it was because she didn’t have the courage to voice her opinions, since she was no


    longer married to William. Therefore, a marriage certificate could be useful sometimes.


    Seeing as John and Sophia were approaching her, Matilda put on a smile. “You’re back. I had wanted


    to bid you farewell before leaving.”


    Surprised, Sophia inquired, “Aren’t you staying over tonight?”


    Slightly embarrassed, Matilda replied, “No. I should be going.”


    At this moment, William was nowhere in sight.


    Old Mrs. Constance went along with Sophia by saying, “It’ste now. You should stay here tonight.”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Unwilling to do so, Matilda said, “I think I should go home. Actually, I’m fine with staying here, but I’m


    afraid that there will be gossip about me again.” Most importantly, she was afraid that her mother would


    reprimand her for acting inappropriately.


    Old Mrs. Constance sighed. “Alright. I’ll have a talk with your mother and see how we can settle this


    issue.”


    Trying to tease his mother, John gazed at her and asked, “Why don’t I send you home?”


    Hearing this, Matilda was startled, and her expression turned uneasy.


    Sophia immediately pinched his waist. “Stop it. Are you trying to make it worse for your mom?”


    John guffawed. “I was just asking. I knew that my mom wouldn’t agree to it.”


    Just then, William came downstairs with a bag in his hand. With a calm expression, he walked up to


    Matilda and said, “I’ve packed up some clothes. Are we leaving now?”


    He’s even packed up enough clothes, Sophia thought. Darting her gaze between Old Mrs. Constance


    and John, she burst outughing.


    Trying to make fun of them, Old Mrs. Constance said, “My son is a grown man, so I don’t think I can


    make him stay. Just go now. Matilda is bashful to stay here, while William is thick-skinned enough to


    follow her home.”


    With her face turned red in embarrassment, Matilda pped William’s shoulder and said, “Why are you


    bringing clothes with you? You only have to send me home.”


    Unabashed at all, William replied, “What do you mean I only have to send you home? We’re going


    back to your home together.”
