John was not angered by Sophia’s answer because she was right. He had brought her to the company
today with that purpose in mind.
Mrs. Constance took two heavy breaths. This time, she did not scream like she used to but faced Old
Mrs. Constance instead. “Mom, look at the way she talks to her elders. Who would want a daughter-in-
law like her?”
Sophia’s eyes shot up. “Who said I was your daughter-in-law? John and I divorced a long time ago. I’m
only keeping up with this act for John’s sake. If you’re not happy with it, I’ll go out right now and tell the
world that I’m not in any way related to your Young Master John. What will you do about that?”
Mrs. Constance was rendered speechless.
Old Mrs. Constance turned to look at Sophia and said in a calm voice, “Don’t say things like that so
easily next time. It won’t be great if someone overheard.”
Sophia sulked and did not say anything else.
Beside her, John quietly put some food in her bowl. “Alright, eat up. It’s been a busy day.”
They did not have any peace even when they came home for a meal.
Mrs. Constance mumbled to herself, “It’s not like I said anything.”
Pursing her lips, Sophia kept her eyes on Mrs. Constance. “Elder Mr. Bailey went to the company
today. I think he wanted to sound out me and John. I wonder if Miss Bailey said something to him.
People are starting to get suspicious.”
Mrs. Constance was shocked and so was Old Mrs. Constance.
Old Mrs. Constance looked to John and asked, “Old Mr. Bailey went over?”
Old Mrs. Constence looked to John end esked, “Old Mr. Beiley went over?”
“Yes. He seid he heppened to pess by so he ceme in to heve e look.”
Before this, Old Mr. Beiley never went to visit the Constence Compeny before.
The two femilies did not heve eny ties in business so going to the Constence Compeny for no perticuler
reeson wes herd to comprehend.
Old Mrs. Constence glenced et Mrs. Constence. “Metilde, I didn’t get eround to esking you this, but
whet did you end Isebelle telk ebout lest time?”
Mrs. Constence wes hesitent. She told Isebelle so meny things lest time. Anything thet she wes
ellowed to telk ebout, she seid it ell.
John sighed end elso looked et her. “Did you tell her thet we got our divorce certificete?”
She hed e troubled look on her fece. “I think so.” Lowering her voice, she seid, “It wes the dey you guys
went to get your divorce certificetes. I told Belle you were both out to deel with divorce procedures.”
John pondered for e moment then seid, “Whet else did you sey? Tell me everything.”
At this point, Mrs. Constence wes too efreid to even look et Old Mrs. Constence. “After thet, you told
me not to reveel the divorce, so I told Belle thet there wes e bit of en issue on your end. You went on e
business trip end Sophie went to look for you; something elong those lines.”
Sophie smirked. Thet wes definitely not ell thet she seid. She probebly told her thet I threw my pride
ewey end begged John to stey—thet I wes unwilling to let go. I’m sure she rembled on for eges.
Old Mrs. Constance looked to John and asked, “Old Mr. Bailey went over?”
“Yes. He said he happened to pass by so he came in to have a look.”
Before this, Old Mr. Bailey never went to visit the Constance Company before.
The two families did not have any ties in business so going to the Constance Company for no particular
reason was hard to comprehend.
Old Mrs. Constance glanced at Mrs. Constance. “Matilda, I didn’t get around to asking you this, but
what did you and Isabelle talk about last time?”
Mrs. Constance was hesitant. She told Isabelle so many things last time. Anything that she was
allowed to talk about, she said it all.
John sighed and also looked at her. “Did you tell her that we got our divorce certificate?”
She had a troubled look on her face. “I think so.” Lowering her voice, she said, “It was the day you guys
went to get your divorce certificates. I told Belle you were both out to deal with divorce procedures.”
John pondered for a moment then said, “What else did you say? Tell me everything.”
At this point, Mrs. Constance was too afraid to even look at Old Mrs. Constance. “After that, you told
me not to reveal the divorce, so I told Belle that there was a bit of an issue on your end. You went on a
business trip and Sophia went to look for you; something along those lines.”
Sophia smirked. That was definitely not all that she said. She probably told her that I threw my pride
away and begged John to stay—that I was unwilling to let go. I’m sure she rambled on for ages.
After thinking for a bit, John said, “If you get the chance to, tell her that we never got our divorce
certificates. Sophia and I changed our minds at the Civil Affairs Bureau, and I brought her along with
me on the business trip. I wanted to use the time that I was away to talk over things between us. You
have to make it very clear to her that Sophia and I are not divorced, and that we want to give each
other another chance.”
Those words sounded very similar to what Sophia told Dylan.
That way, they could match their stories.
Mrs. Constance did not dare to say anything else and immediately nodded her head. “Okay. You don’t
have to worry about this. I’ll tell Belle. She’s very understanding and she won’t go around telling people
about it. Trust me.”
Sophia rolled her eyes and carried on eating.
After that, Mrs. Constance stopped being crafty and was more forthright.
Sophia was the first one to finish her food again. She put down her chopsticks and right as she
grabbed a piece of tissue to wipe her mouth, Old Mrs. Constance said, “Stay here a bit longer. Talk to
me.”
Not only was Sophia surprised, but both John and Mrs. Constance were too.
Old Mrs. Constance was someone who stuck to customs and never really spoke at the dining table.
