Chapter 1062
Although Lady Jennifer used the word ‘advice’ in her explanation, the others instantly knew that Dylanmust have grown tired of his parents’ nagging. After all, they believed Dylan would have avoided theconflict considering his mild-mannered nature.
Owen came closer and said, “He is angry at me, Mom. He blames me for forcing his hand, so heretaliates by going against our will since he knows we’re worried about his relationship status themost.” In a fit of rage, Owen went on complaining without noticing Sophia’s presence. “When Dadmade him marry Sophia back then, didn’t he give in as well, even though we disagreed with that atfirst? Yet he is blaming us now for ruining his life back then. So, tell us, Mom! Are we really at fault?”
Sophia blinked in response, telling herself that she shouldn’t be here in the first place. What does thishave to do with me? Why is he dragging me into this? In that instant, John shifted his gaze to Sophiajust as Old Mrs. Constance and Samuel did the same thing. novelbin
This is getting ugly. Should I excuse myself? Sophia pursed her lips in response, wondering whethershe should look for an excuse and leave. Nevertheless, John replied, “He made the choice to give it upback then, so what does he want for creating all this hoo-ha? Does he have no respect for Sophia?She is now his sister-in-law. Don’t tell me he still can’t get over Sophia?” John’s words hit the nail onthe head, making Owen realize that he had accidentally run his mouth off.
Even though the matter was true, the outcome would have been different if Owen’s family haddiscussed this among themselves. After all, things seemed promising for Sophia and John ever sincethey remarried, and they were even ready to welcome their first child to the world now. Nonetheless,Owen’s words heavily implied that Dylan still missed Sophia, which was an embarrassing matter to be
known by anyone else outside the Constance Family.
Lady Jennifer was instantly seen with an awkward look on her face. Upon taking a glimpse at Sophia,she quickly tried to explain for her son. “No, you’re getting the wrong idea, John. That’s not what youruncle meant to say.”
With a glacial look on his face, John refused to hear her explanation. “I don’t care what Uncle Owenmeant, but I want you all to keep in mind that Sophia is Dylan’s sister-in-law! I don’t know what youguys and Dylan are thinking, but no matter what, keep my wife out of your mess!”
Needless to say, Old Mrs. Constance was unhappy as well as she told them off. “What’s the meaningof all this mess? Sophia married John from the very beginning. Even though they were separated fromeach other at some point, they’re now back together with their first child on the way. Isn’t that enough toprove that they’re truly in love with each other? Besides, Dylan already has a girlfriend, so your lack oftrust for him is only going to bring more harm than good to everyone else in this family.”
Owen quickly said, “Mom, that’s not what I meant. You guys misunderstood. It wasn’t that Dylancouldn’t forget Sophia at all. He has always treated Sophia as his own sister-in-law. Instead, he is justmad at us for arranging his matchmaking, blaming us for interfering with his life. I apologize for mymisleading explanation, and I hope I’ve cleared your doubt.”
Say whatever you want. There is no turning back now. Without bothering to hear Owen out, Johnwalked up to Sophia and seized her hand. “Let’s go. We’re better off minding our own business.”
