Matilda took a long time to come back up, and she looked dark. Sophia smiled. “You saw it?”
“Yeah. It’s her, but it’s not the car she’s usually in.”
Sophia nodded. “Did you see the man coming out after her, then?”
Matilda sighed. “Yes. He’s the only one who followed her out.”
A smirk tugged at the corner of Sophia’s lips. “Okay. Let’s dig in.”
Their lunch was here, but they didn’t talk much this time. Matilda looked down, and Sophia was thinking about something. Yeah, I didn’t just cross Isabelle. I crossed the whole Bailey Family. Her whole family hates me. Isabelle’s not the only one who’d hurt me.
Instantly, Sophia felt more at ease after finding out the potential list of people who’d harm her. They went straight back home after their lunch, and Matilda went upstairs, obviously upset.
Sophia lounged on the sofa, feeling calm. She watched some variety shows and had a glimpse of some no-name TV dramas before going upstairs to take a nap.
Although Matilda went upstairs, she wasn’t sleeping and was merely sitting on her bed, feeling frustrated. Even though she used to be hot-headed and had a bad personality, she thought she wasn’t evil. She liked Isabelle and her family, so she put a lot of love in making a connection with them. Now, when she found out about the truth of their family, she felt hurt.
Earlier, Matilda was right at the lobby when Mrs. Bailey and the man came out, so she saw them clearly. The man looked like he was in his twenties or thirties.
Matilda knew the kind of person Mrs. Bailey was. She wasn’t there to see a man because of any sexual problems, but for a deal. And coupling that up with all the disasters that befell Sophia recently, she had a good guess of the kind of deal it was. Before this, she was disappointed by Isabelle, but now she felt the same way toward the Baileys. Why did I like these snakes anyway? I was blind.
After a while of sulking, she fished out her cell phone and couldn’t help texting John. There wasn’t much to say except for what she saw today.
John didn’t reply immediately, so she guessed he was busy. Around ten minutes later, he called her. “You saw Mrs. Bailey coming out with a young man?” He sounded surprised.
Matilda sighed. “Yeah. They looked suspicious. I can’t be sure about their deal, but keep an eye out. Mrs. Bailey’s vindictive, and she… Well…” Matilda stopped, not knowing what to say. “In any case, she just dislikes Sophia, so be careful.”
“I see. No wonder…”
Matilda wondered why John was saying that, but the more she thought about what she saw, the more worried she was. When Sophia was still married to John, Mrs. Bailey would fly into a rage whenever
Sophia was mentioned. She despised Sophia more than the old Matilda did, so Matilda was worried something might happen.
Since John had a lot of work, he didn’t say much. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll take care of this.” Then, he hung up.
