Her answer elicited a stare from Old Mrs. Constance, for her husband told her before that Sophia’s parents dumped her. However, she wasn’t certain why Sophia’s parents did such a thing.

Feeling sorry for her, Old Mrs. Blackwell tightened her grip on Sophia’s hands. Since it was an unhappy topic, Old Mrs. Constance hurriedly talked about something else. As they chatted and laughed, the atmosphere slowly became eased.

When lunch was ready, Old Mrs. Constance, who was supported by a servant, said, “Let’s continue our chat over the meal.”

Sophia looked away. What the heck? Why do I always bump into him when I don’t want to see him?
