Sophia’s initial reaction was to turn down the invitation. Shouldn’t Old Mrs. Constance’s own family
members accompany her on trips like the monastery visit? As an ex-granddaughter-in-law, Sophia felt
uncomfortable at the idea of going out with Old Mrs. Constance.
Old Mrs. Constance sighed and explained that she saw Sophia receiving a very positive outcome from
a past card reading at the Blackwell Residence, a proof that Sophia had better luck. Therefore, she
wanted Sophia to tag along to share some of the luck.
Sophia chuckled. “What good luck? Look at me in the past. Did I look like a lucky woman?”
Old Mrs. Constance sighed. “Well, your luck must have turned around. Your stars are aligned. Don’t
you know that the Blackwells’ stagnant business flourished after you received your reading? It’s all
thanks to you.”
Old Mrs. Constance was a professional in terms of bluffing. Scratching her head awkwardly, Sophia
said, “I think you should ask John to go to the monastery with you. He’s a lucky man too.”
Yeah, he’s lucky in life, except when he was forced to marry me. Sophia secretly grumbled.
Old Mrs. Constance’s was immediately filled with disappointment. “Sophia, are you going to abandon
all of us after your divorce with John?”
Sophia clutched her phone but remained silent. It was true that she did not want any more interaction
and trouble with the Constances after the divorce. Sure, she could remain friends with John, but they
should not get too tangled up in their daily lives.
She was fine with occasional contact with John, but if she had to accompany any member of the
Constance Family on trips, it would only complicate matters.
Then, Old Mrs. Constance pleaded, “I have never begged you for anything before. Just do me a favor
this time, will you? Please? Sophia?”
Sophia let out a sigh and relented. In the face of Old Mrs. Constance’s dogged insistence, she stood no
chance of turning down the invitation. Defeated, she decided to stop the lengthy conversation and
agreed to it. Next time, she could confidently say no to the old lady.
Old Mrs. Constance was over the moon and said that she’d send a driver to pick Sophia up the next
day, to which Sophia curtly answered, “Okay.”
After the call, Sophia fell into a long silence before bursting into laughter, reminiscing about the old
days when she didn’t get along well with the Constances. Beside her, Robin chuckled. “I overheard
everything. That grandma from the Constance Family seems very nice to you.”
Sophia flashed her an ambiguous smile. “Oh, really?” But in the past, Old Mrs. Constance didn’t treat
Sophia nicely. Her niceties came at the same time as John’s patience for her appeared—after the
divorce. No matter how she looked at it, everything was belated and unnecessary.
Sophia continued to busy herself in the store until noon. Then, she left for a grocery store close to the
desserts place to shop for some groceries before heading home. It only took her a round of shopping at
the meat and poultry section before she bumped into someone she knew.
Matilda and Isabelle were pushing a shopping cart, walking and chatting like mother and daughter.
Since Sophia didn’t expect to run into the two here, she was rather taken aback.
Matilda looked alright after her divorce from William, which was different from what Sophia had
imagined. Initially, Sophia thought that Matilda would look disheveled or dispirited, but her ex-mother-
in-law appeared the same as before. Perhaps, the divorce was yet to be announced publicly, so
Matilda thought that she still stood a chance.
Sophia’s eyes only stayed on them for seconds before she shifted her attention, picking her grocery
items. On the other side, Matilda and Isabelle were still talking and laughing. When Matilda turned
around, she immediately spotted Sophia.
At this time of the day, the grocery store was not as crowded. Sophia was eye-catching because she
was dressed trendily and she had good looks, making her stand out from the rest of the shoppers.
Matilda was stunned as she frowned. Noticing the pause in Matilda’s actions, Isabelle asked, “Mrs.
Constance, what’s the…”
Mid-sentence, Isabelle noticed Sophia as well. Isabelle could normally hide her emotions very well, so
the surprise on her face vanished within seconds. Still smiling, she pushed her cart and walked toward
Sophia. “Miss Gwendolyn, you’re here too!”
Sophia slowly turned around and looked at the two of them. “Oh, what a coincidence!”
