Next One Is a Babe Chapter 129

“This is all on me, not her.” John didn’t hide it, so in a way, he admitted it.

Old Mrs. Constance didn’t dwell on this. “You know what you did, so we’ll stay out of this.”

John leaned back on the sofa and sighed. He would have consoled his mother usually, but he wasn’t in
the mood now. “I’ll go to Sophia’s place tomorrow. Maybe I’ll stay there after this. She dislikes it here,
so we won’t be coming back.”

Old Mrs. Constance could understand that, for Matilda would just forget everything and repeat her
mistakes after a while, so living under the same roof wasn’t optimal for them. She nodded. “That’s
good. It’s nearer to the company, so it’s convenient for you.”

William came back a short while later. He had an appointment on this day, but his wife kept calling him
to complain. So, he had no choice but to ask Owen to go in his stead, while he came back to check out
the situation.

Old Mrs. Constance was speechless, so she looked at her son. “You spoiled her.”

William smiled. “I’ll take a look.”

After William had gone upstairs, John said, “My dad really loves my mom. Now that’s really enviable.”
William did spoil Matilda, and she became arrogant because of that. She might be old now, but Matilda
was a bigger troublemaker. Everything she disliked in the house, she would complain to William, but he
never got angry at her and kept taking a step back. Maybe both of them got used to it after all these
years.



A moment later, Old Mrs. Constance said, “They didn’t love each other in the beginning as well.”

John froze, for he never heard about his parents’ story.

Old Mrs. Constance felt compelled to talk about it. “Your dad wasn’t going to marry your mother in the
first place. The lady he wanted to marry came from almost the same background as us. They were a
good match, and after the meeting, your father felt great about her. However, a more powerful family
had their eyes on her, so the lady chose them after thinking about it. It had been years since then.
There was nothing like the engagement system we have today, so everyone skipped to marriage. If she
didn’t marry you, she could marry someone else she liked. Because of that, your father was depressed
for a long time. Then, his old man asked someone to introduce Matilda to him. He didn’t like her, or
well, at least he thought she was incomparable to the girl he liked. Matilda didn’t like him either, but she
thought they were a good match in terms of family background, so they could try it out. Then, they got
married.”

They did argue about life after marriage, but William was a nice guy to begin with, so he tolerated her.
After a while, Old Mrs. Constance noticed their relationship was getting better. After she was done with
her story, she looked at John. “When we wanted you to marry Sophia, I thought maybe you guys would
fall in love like your parents did.” However, they got divorced not long after Old Mr. Constance’s death.
He really doesn’t love her.

John looked down quietly.

After that, Old Mrs. Constance lamented, “Sophia doesn’t come from a good family, and she used to be
weak too. That wasn’t enough to hold up a family, but after your divorce, I think she has style.” Old Mrs.
Constance thought she was like Matilda, a faker, but when she saw how Sophia glared at the servant



venomously earlier, she liked Sophia more. If she came from a better family and received better
education, she would be perfect.

John kept quiet all the while his grandmother talked, then he went upstairs. When he went past
Sophia’s room, he went inside. The bed was messy and filled with traces of last night’s event. The
glass that he put on the windowsill was still there. John closed his eyes and went to his own room. After
taking a shower, he went to Matilda’s room.
