Chapter 1260


    “Was she alone?” Matilda asked, startled.


    Sophia shook her head, and it was John who answered, “There was a man next to her. I think that’s her


    matchmake partner, and they look ratherpatible. We saw that they were chatting happily and


    seemed to be getting along well.”


    Nodding, Matilda said, “That’s good.”


    Feeling a little nosy, Sophia’s eyes drifted toward William. In the end, she didn’t see any reaction from


    him as he kept his eyes fixed on hisptop with a frown.


    Matilda noticed the look in her eyes and chuckled. Patting her shoulder, she said in a hushed voice,


    “Ynda called him just two days ago.”


    Raising an eyebrow, she asked hurriedly, “What did she say? Why is she calling now?”


    Sighing, Matilda answered, “Well, she didn’t say anything inappropriate. She said that that man had


    proposed to her and wanted to ask for William’s opinion if she should agree to the proposal or not.”


    A helpless smile shed across Sophia’s face; anyone could tell how narrow-minded that move was. If


    she really wanted some opinion, she should have called her parents instead of a man whom she had


    someplicated rtions with. There was no way she would believe that Ynda was not up to


    some small tricks in her heart.


    And it looked like Matilda knew about her intentions as well.


    “Doesn’t she know if she wants to ept the proposal or not?” Old Mrs. Constance cried. “William


    doesn’t even know that man, so what opinion would he have?” With a disgusted look, she added,


    “She’s still harboring such thoughts at this time. A man never knows contentment. If she keeps this up,


    she’ll not enjoy her life.”


    Since she was speaking quite loud, William must have heard it as well, and the edge of Sophia’s lips


    curled upward with sheer delight.


    John reached out and stroked her chin with his finger. “Just smile if you want to. Why are you holding


    back?”


    Twisting her head at him, she hit him yfully on the arm. “It’s awkward.”


    With a snort, he bantered, “You find it awkward? But you looked happy when you hugged Ian in front of


    everyone.”


    This made both Old Mrs. Constance and Matilda turn their heads in curiosity.


    Waving her hand anxiously, she exined, “Don’t get me wrong. That was just a hug to say goodbye at


    the end and purely a form of greeting between friends. With such a big belly, it’s impossible for me to


    have any other thoughts.”


    Nodding, Matilda asked, “Why are you exining yourself so anxiously when we didn’t say anything at


    all?”


    “Exactly. The more you try to exin, the more guilty you appear,” Old Mrs. Constance chimed in.


    “Why are you guys adding fuel to the fire?” Sophia whined, her face twitching.


    A little while after Sophia and John left, Ian stood up to leave, too. He hade from work directly and


    didn’t even have the opportunity to remove his makeup, so it went to show that he didn’t have time to


    catch a break in between. Even Ian himself looked exhausted and wanted to go home earlier to rest.


    …


    Knowing his schedule, Lorraine understood that it was already amazing that he was able to make it


    here despite being so busy today. Hence, she didn’t try to make him stay and told him that he could

    Lorraine could be considered as the one who introduced him into showbiz, so she felt a certain sense


    of responsibility for him.


    After bidding everyone goodbye, Ian left, and soon after, Logan and L said that they wanted to leave


    as well. Old Mr. Jefferson and his four sons-inw were taken aback and quickly tried to make them


    stay a little longer.
