Robin agreed, then she asked about Sophia’s life. Aside from fine, Sophia didn’t say much. After all, there was no
need to talk about Isabelle’s case to everyone. Sitting beside them, Matilda only chimed in a couple of times, and
she would look at Robin occasionally before averting her gaze slowly. After a while, Matilda told Sophia that they
should be leaving, or they’d be getting in the way of Robin’s work.
Quickly, Sophia nodded. “Right, we should be leaving. Work hard, you guys.”
Indeed, the store was getting crowded, and Lincoln couldn’t handle it alone. Standing at the shop entrance, Sophia
waved at Lincoln before leaving with Matilda. Instead of hailing a ride, they walked along the sidewalk.
Subsequently, Matilda commented, “Robin’s a good girl. She knows where she goes wrong and manages to rectify
them in time. You can keep being friends with her.”
Sophia was surprised. “Huh, what are you talking about?”
Matilda smiled. “You’re smart and naive at the same time. Forget it. It’s fine if you didn’t understand what I was
saying. Just know that Robin’s a friend.”
Sophia was still confused. “Um, yeah, I know that.”
Instead of going home, the ladies walked around and had lunch. Sophia had her guard up all the time, and she kept

safe trip.
In the end, Matilda took her to a healthy food restaurant so Sophia could get all the necessary nutrients. When they
were about to go in, Sophia stared at the seafood restaurant across the street.
Matilda didn’t know what she was thinking, but she went to hold Sophia anyway. “Seafood can wait until after your
labor. For now, you should stay away from anything cold. Come on, let’s have lunch here.”
Sophia nodded and went into the restaurant with Matilda, but after a few steps, she looked back again. Those two…
They look familiar, but I might be seeing things. The ladies went to a room on the second floor, and it was a window
seat.
The moment she went in, Sophia looked down and saw the pedestrians moving around. She pursed her lips and
looked at the seafood restaurant, but the people she saw earlier were gone, and they wouldn’t be coming out so
soon.
On the other hand, Matilda made her order and looked at Sophia. “What are you doing there? See if you like
anything on the menu.”
“Okay,” Sophia replied, but she stopped for a moment before coming back. After taking the menu, she said, “I think
I saw Mrs. Bailey.”
Matilda stopped and stared at her. “It’s normal. She’s probably meeting up with her friends.”
Sophia frowned. “I don’t think so. They’re in casual wear, and they didn’t look formal.”
That surprised Matilda. She had come into contact with Mrs. Bailey many times, so Matilda knew she was just like
the old her—arrogant, loved to put on airs, and had to doll themselves up before going out. Matilda had never seen
Mrs. Bailey in casual wear. “Is she alone?” Matilda asked.
“No.” Sophia quickly ordered a few cuisines and handed the menu back to the waiter. “This will be it for now. And
give us some water, please.”
