Looking at him so cowardly, Sophia didn’t care to speak anymore. Both of them went out after staying
in the room for a short while.
Sophia went to the room next door to get Matilda, who wasn’t actually asleep. Now that she was back
here, she couldn’t really get used to it, so she kept standing at the window looking out.
She had seen William and John coming back together. At first, she had wanted to go and greet them,
but she felt that it would be a bit too abrupt to do so, hence, she had suppressed it.
Sophia did not knock on the door but opened it directly. “Come and have lunch.”
Turning around, Matilda looked at Sophia and said, “Sure. I’ll wash my face first and go down in a
minute.”
Sophia pulled John’s arm. “Then we’ll go ahead first.” After speaking, she withdrew from the room,
closed the door, and then asked John, “Is your dad back yet?”
John didn’t know what she was going to do, so he merely nodded. Sophia patted John on the shoulder.
“Come, come. Let’s go downstairs quickly.”
As they went down, they saw William sitting next to Old Mrs. Constance and saying something to her.
Sophia went down and greeted, “Hello, Mr. Constance.”
Old Mrs. Constance laughed. “He came back with John and went upstairs but came down again
without doing anything.”
Hearing her words, William was mortified, so he immediately chided, “Mom, why are you...”
Sophia didn’t care about his embarrassment but merely grinned and said, “Madam Flintstone will be
here in a while. Don’t be nervous.”
William had always been a levelheaded and composed man, but his face was currently flushed red at
Sophia’s words, especially as nobody stood out to help him.
Standing up, Old Mrs. Constance invited Sophia to the dining hall. Sophia nodded, a trace of
amusement evident in her eyes. “Okay.”
They were about to move to the dining hall when Matilda came downstairs. Actually, she was also
feeling rather awkward. She was trying very hard to keep a composed look on her face.
William turned his head to look at Matilda, then asked after a long pause, “Have you gotten used to the
place?”
Sophia was a little appalled at his question, but Matilda nodded. “It’s okay.”
Old Mrs. Constance waved for them to go over. “Come on, let’s have lunch.”
All of them went to the dining hall and sat down. Matilda still sat in her former seat. William came over
and sat next to her side.
For a moment, Matilda felt rather uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, she felt that she was simply
pretentious.
This is what I want, so why do I have to feel uneasy?
During the meal, Old Mrs. Constance reminded Sophia about some matters that she had to pay
attention to during her pregnancy. In fact, she had reminded her about the same things many times in
the past. But Sophia knew that Old Mrs. Constance was simply worried about her, so she listened
patiently and nodded occasionally.
After talking to Sophia, Old Mrs. Constance turned her head and looked at Matilda. “The doctor will
come over and check your injury soon. Although the injury isn’t too serious, I’ll feel better after he tends
to it.”
Matilda nodded. Then, she heard the man seated next to her ask, “Was the perpetrator caught?”
At the mention of this, John remembered Sophia’s brutal methods. She was quick and ruthless in her
strikes without so much as blinking once. This side of Sophia surprised him a lot. I guess a girl from a
rural village has more nerve than other girls.
Sophia replied, “I've sorted him out. We can’t let that kind of person go easily.”
Old Mrs. Constance giggled. “Sophia, I’m relieved at how bold you’ve become now. You won’t suffer
being with John anymore in the future.”
Nodding, John claimed, “She is the ‘Mountain King’ in our family now. I’m the one being bullied.”
Old Mrs. Constance didn’t care about him. “You deserve to be bullied. We won’t feel bad for you even if
you tell us about it.”
Matilda simply lowered her head and ate with a smile. Turning his head, William glanced at her several
times, but she didn’t look at him either. He didn’t really know what it was that he wanted to say, so in
the end, he withdrew his gaze.
