A short while later, Sophia texted, ‘I think Ms. Bloom likes your ex.’
Matilda froze up. If even Sophia could see it, that meant she wasn’t imagining things. ‘I see,’ she replied, then
Sophia stopped texting her. When Matilda was done with dinner, Yolanda was still there.
After thinking it over, she said, “You guys carry on. I’ll see what Sophia is doing. Maybe she needs help finding her
stuff.”
At this, William only looked at her, saying nothing. After that, Matilda slowly went upstairs, and her expression
became gloomier with each step. When she came to Sophia’s room, Sophia was lying on the bed, scrolling through
her phone. At the sight of Matilda, she rolled and sat up. “What brings you here? Aren’t you going to chat with
them?”
Matilda hummed a placid response. “Hey, be careful. You’re pregnant, you know, so go slow.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Then she lay back down. “But if you’re not there, Ms. Bloom will be chatting happily with your ex.”
Matilda walked over and sat on the bed. “Whatever. I don’t care even if they want to sleep in the same bed. It has
nothing to do with me anyway.”
Sophia clicked her tongue. “And you say I’m forward. You’re the same, aren’t you?” Sophia sighed. “If they do sleep
together, you’d probably die of heartbreak.”

Matilda snorted. “As if.”
Yeah, right, Sophia thought, but she didn’t want to argue on this matter. “Why is Ms. Bloom here anyway? She says
she’s here to see you, but why?”
Matilda looked up and answered slowly, “She says there’s a misunderstanding between us, so she wants to clear it
up. I might be wrong, but I just feel like she’s here because she knows William’s here, not because she wants to
clear it up with me. That’s just a pretext. I’ve said everything when I went to apologize to her, so she doesn’t really
have to come here.”
Sophia nodded. “Yeah. I could see she’s not paying attention to you.” Then she put her phone down. “But I wonder
if your ex knows that.”
Matilda chuckled. “John’s an idiot in relationships for a reason. His father’s the same kind of guy, so he gets it from
him. There’s no way William can sense anything.” Men and women functioned differently. Men could be meticulous,
but they didn’t share the same eye for details as women. What women could see might be missed on men, so
William failing to see through Yolanda was understandable.
Sophia looked back at her. “Tell me the truth. Do you want to remarry your ex?”
Matilda looked back at her and echoed, “What about you? Do you want to remarry your ex?”
Sophia blinked. “No. I won’t ever lie about this. At least I don’t want to remarry him for now.”
A few moments later, Matilda answered, “I’ll tell you the truth, then. I want to start over with him, but I think it’s
hard, so I’m giving up.”
Sophia was surprised. “Why? You’ve changed for the better, so just put in some work, and you’ll be dating him in no
time.”
Matilda shook her head. “If it’s the old me, maybe, but not now. I can’t cling onto him like some sloth now.”
Sophia frowned. “That’s not the only way to flirt. Maybe all you have to do is give him hints, and he’d be wanting
you back.”
