The Returning Ex

Chapter 995

Sophia hurriedly said, “That’s great. You have to hurry. After the two of them get married, they’ll go on their honeymoon and spend some time together, and then they will try for a baby. Now is the perfect time for them to get married.”

Matilda turned her head and looked at Sophia. For some reason, she had a feeling that Sophia was not actually thinking in the best interests of Dylan’s family; there was a trace of mockery in her tone.

Lady Jennifer grunted. “I think so too.”

With four women sitting here and chatting away, the performance that Lady Jennifer was putting on became more and more entertaining. Lady Jennifer kept the topic revolving around Dylan’s mysterious girlfriend, who was praised to high heavens by her.

The woman refused to let anyone get a word in at all as she continued to prattle on and on by herself.

The maid had prepared a platter of fruits and brought it over to them. Sophia sat cross-legged on the sofa, eating the fruits and listened to Lady Jennifer’s one-man show. In her heart, she was pondering over the Bailey Family’s affairs.

John had been so busy these days, and she thought that he should be making plans regarding the Bailey Family. Since she didn’t know much about the shadow bank, she had no way to analyze the situation in detail.

There was no way for her to predict when the matter could be resolved, and it was also impossible to foresee what else the Bailey Family would do next. These were the reasons why she felt frustrated.

Lady Jennifer had been talking for a long time, but Sophia couldn’t remember what she said at the end. As it dragged on, Old Mrs. Constance really couldn’t stand it anymore, so she said that she would go upstairs to rest. It was only then that Lady Jennifer stopped talking.

Sophia had eaten a lot of fruits, so she decided to go out for a walk. Grabbing the opportunity, Matilda said quickly, “I’m also going for a walk.”

Then, she looked at Lady Jennifer. “Would you like to come along? Let’s go for a stroll.”

Lady Jennifer had talked so much that her throat felt dry. Truth be told, she actually didn’t really want to take a walk with them. Hence, she thought for a while and replied, “It’s almost noon now. I’m going home.”

Sophia thought to herself, You should have gone home a long time ago. All of us had to watch your solo performance all morning.

Everyone wasn’t in the mood to listen to Lady Jennifer, but she didn’t seem to get the hint at all.

Then, the three of them walked out from the main building; Lady Jennifer went home, while Sophia and Matilda went to sit in the garden.

After they sat down, Sophia asked again, “So, what’s the situation with Yolanda?” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Matilda sighed. “I think she’ll go to the company to look for William.”

Sophia thought that it was a very likely move. Since William and Matilda hadn’t gone through the formalities of legal remarriage yet, this was the last opportunity that Yolanda could grab. If she didn’t do so, it would soon be too late for her to fight for William.

After contemplating things for a while, Sophia said, “Why don’t you go to the company at night to check it out? Don’t give her any chance to take control of the situation.”

When Matilda heard this, she felt rather impatient. Perhaps Yolanda didn’t have to wait until William got off work at night. In fact, she could actually go look for him during noon break.

Mulling over it, Matilda checked the time and finally said to Sophia, “Sophia, you stay here. I’ll go out and check on the situation over there. I’ll drive William back, and we can have lunch together later.”

Sophia burst out laughing. “Fine, go quickly then. We do have to make sure everything is foolproof.”

Straightening her clothes, Matilda quickly got up and headed toward the parking lot. She drove the car by herself. There was quite a distance between the house and the company, so the journey took some time. By the time she arrived, it would be the exact time for William to get off work for noon break.

Matilda drove rather slowly to the entrance of the Constance Group. When she got there, she stopped the car somewhere nearby, then got out of the car and headed to the cafe opposite the company. After ordering a cup of hot cocoa, she sat down, watched the company entrance opposite her and patiently waited.
