John and Sophia looked at each other before going in. William thought something was wrong, so he wanted to call Matilda and Yolanda back, but John stopped him.

Sophia smiled. John was just inviting Yolanda out of courtesy. He wasn’t planning on her actually having dinner with them. It’d be awkward if Yolanda and Matilda were around the same table, so they ditched the plan.
