Sophia wasn’t really adamant about it, so she said it was fine if he was busy and couldn’t come, since it
was just a gathering for dinner; it wasn’t really important anyway.
John grunted in agreement. “I’ll see if I can finish up earlier so that I can head over right after that.”
Although Sophia didn’t ask him what he was going to do, she still reminded him to be careful. John
grinned at that. “Don’t be worried. No one would dare to touch me.”
Since he was confident about it, Sophia felt way more relieved. After she hung up, she glanced over at
Matilda. It seemed like Matilda hadn’t contacted William yet. In fact, she looked rather conflicted.
Sophia questioned with a hint of a laugh, “Why hadn’t you called him yet? Are you shy?”
Matilda pushed her hair back. “I just don’t know what to say to him.” If John could come, Matilda
wouldn’t have to call William as he might be able to bring William along with him.
Sophia started laughing. “Why don’t you know what to say? Aren’t you two quite close now? Just tell
him to come over for dinner. I don’t really see anything wrong with that.”
To be honest, Matilda felt like she was overthinking about it as well. She wasn’t like this in the past and
she wouldn’t have felt awkward to ask William to come over for dinner. After taking a deep breath,
Matilda took her phone and stood up. “I’ll go out to make the call.”
Sophia didn’t say anything but merely sighed after Matilda left the private room. Previously, she did tell
Matilda to put on a bit of a show, but Matilda’s acting was obviously a bit too much now. She still
needed to take the initiative sometimes.
After Matilda left the private room, she stood next to the window sill in the hallway. To be honest, she
didn’t know why she felt bashful. The last time William went to her place, he had asked her something
ambiguous. He asked Matilda whether the Constance Residence or her own place was nicer.
Matilda didn’t know how to answer him back then, so she said that it was fine either way. To that,
William smiled and told her that her place looked homely, and it made him feel like coming over to stay
as well. Matilda could feel her heart thumping away the moment she heard him. She was afraid that
she might be overthinking it, but she felt that she wasn’t overthinking at the same time.
The conflicted feeling made her feel anxious at the thought of calling William. This was something that
she had never felt before even when she was young. Back then, Matilda wasn’t really satisfied at the
fact that she had to be engaged with William. However, it wasn’t because she didn’t like his looks or
that she wasn’t satisfied with his family background. Instead, it was because Matilda knew that William
was in love with Yolanda.
She didn’t want to become another person’s replacement, so she had never planned to accept the
proposal in the first place. Nevertheless, everyone in the Flintstone Family kept telling her that William
was a great person, so she could only accept his proposal since she didn’t have any back up plan as
well.
Hence, Matilda and William embarked on their marriage life without any foundation in dating, and they
only started getting to know each other after their marriage. Even till the very end, Matilda couldn’t
figure out whether she really loved William, or that she just treated him like her own family.
After hesitating for a while, Matilda finally decided to call William. The call was quickly connected and
William’s calm but gentle voice rang out. “What’s up?”
Matilda tried to make herself sound as natural as she could. “Do you want to come over for dinner
tonight?”
William grinned at that. “Of course.”
Matilda continued, “I’m at Logan’s clubhouse. Sophia is here as well.”
However, William paused before his tone changed slightly. “I thought that it’s just us two.”
Immediately, Matilda felt her cheeks heating up.
