Chapter 969


    Matildaughed it off and said, “This is just the beginning of your problems, and there will be a lot more


    hardly evitable, and there is nothing they can do about it.”


    In fact, William had also stayed in thepany before when he got too busy back then. As a


    workaholic, he would even be missing from home for a few days in a row. Needless to say, that didn’t


    sit well with Matilda, as she argued with William and told him she didn’t want a married life like that.


    Although William made a promise to change every time, he still did the same thing again and again.


    When arguing andining didn’t seem to work, Matilda began to get over it and ept the


    unchangeable fact. It was at that moment that Matilda realized that she had also made sacrifices in


    those days before they separated.


    Sophia responded with an affirmative hum. “I called John this morning, and he said he might be back


    earlier today.”


    Hearing her daughter-inw’s words, she grinned as she said, “Both of you are still young. When you


    reach my age, you probably won’t care whether hees back.”


    Old Mrs. Constance sat there with a chuckle. “Are you sure that’s really how you feel? William basically


    goes to your ce every day. So, I’m pretty curious to see the look on your face if he doesn’t show up


    one day.”


    Faced with the funnyment, Matilda paused before she burst intoughter. “Oh,e on, Old Mrs.


    Constance! You didn’t have to embarrass me.”


    After that, bothdiesughed in amusement while Sophia sat aside and forced a smile on her

    face. John hasn’t sent me a text since he called this morning. I wonder how he is doing over there. A


    few momentster, Sophia was reminded of Isabelle’s missed call the day before. Could that woman


    have something she wanted to tell me?


    Soon, it was noon by the time Sophia and Old Mrs. Constance were about to be done with their chatter.


    At that moment, Old Mrs. Constance felt a little sleepy, so she had the maid help her walk to the


    bedroom. Meanwhile, Matilda made her way to the kitchen to see what they were cooking for lunch.


    At the same time, Sophia headed outside and gave Isabelle a call, but to no avail, as no one picked up


    the phone. Is this revenge from her? Fine, I’m not going to call back anyway. Unwilling to give in,


    Sophia refused to phone Isabelle a second time. Nheless, she couldn’t shake off the thought that


    Isabelle might have had something she wanted to tell her the day before. Perhaps she no longer thinks


    it’s important to say what she wanted to after the missed call. Then, Sophia took a look at the time and


    pondered. It’s almost noon. I guess maybe I should call John up to check on him.


    Soon, John answered the call and responded with a calm voice before Sophia could ask her question.


    “I’m a little busy at the moment, but I’ll be back by noon. So, don’t worry.”


    After hearing his reply, Sophia’s mind was finally put to ease. She then said, “Your mom is here, so


    perhaps you could invite your dad along as well.”


    In response, John gave an affirmative reply with a confident voice.


    Knowing that he was busy, Sophia hung up the call without saying much and went back inside the


    house. Feeling much better, she went to the kitchen and looked at Matilda, who was busy preparing


    lunch. “I’m going to take a nap now, so I’ll see you allter.”


    Matilda responded with an affirmative hum, without even looking at Sophia. “Sure, go ahead. I’ll let you


    know when it’s time for lunch.”


    “Alright,” Sophia replied, standing still for a few seconds before she headed upstairs. As soon as she


    returned to her room, she reached for her phone and called Logan to thank him. I don’t know what


    Logan did or said to Johnst night, but I guess I owe him my thanks for having my back.
