Female Novel
Chapter 1197
Feeling a tad thirsty after having finished eating the dessert, Sophia picked up the juice that’d beenprepared at the side and took a sip. Ah, life is just perfect now! Just when I’ve eaten, drank, and slept,energy imbues me! Slowly getting to her feet, she carefully stretched her arms and legs. “Howpleasant! What should we do now?”
John burst into laughter. Walking over to her, he held her chin and tilted her head up. Then, he kissedher. After lingering on her lips for some time, he finally released her. “You’re heartless. You ateeverything without leaving me anything.”
Sophia giggled maniacally. “You’ve already gotten a taste, no?”
Smacking his lips, John countered, “I couldn’t quite taste it.”
“How shameless! Fine, I’ll give you another taste, then.” Going on her tiptoes, Sophia pecked him onthe corner of his mouth.
Lifting a hand, John pinched her face, smiling as well. Recently, he always had a smile on his face.
Initially, Sophia thought that conflicts might arise between them when they got fed up with each otherwhen he had no work to keep him occupied. After all, she was well aware that he wasn’t one to mollifyothers or say pleasant words. Coupled with the fact that she was rather sensitive at this time, shecouldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t take offense at him.
But from the look of things now, she was wrong. Their relationship had been flourishing these few dayshe’d been keeping her company at home. Not only did he often whisper sweet nothings to her, but henovelbin
even waited on her attentively and patiently, good-natured all the time.
They then returned to the main building together. Old Mrs. Constance was watching television on thesofa, the television blasting with strains of singing from a musical.
Sophia didn’t quite understand musicals, but still, she kept Old Mrs. Constance company. Old Mrs.Constance turned and glanced at her. “William and Matilda are coming back today, so it’ll be lively.”
Surprise swamped Sophia. “Oh, they’re finally coming back?”
At this, Old Mrs. Constance laughed. “It’s just because I’ve called a few times to grouse. They’reprobably feeling embarrassed, so they said they’ll come back and stay for a few days.” After she’dfinished saying this, she heaved a sigh. “Well, I understand if you young people want to go out and livealone, but why are they still so keen on living alone at their age?”
Giggling, Sophia leaned against her arm. “Ah, you’ve got to understand that they hadn’t yet seen thelight when they were young. Hence, they’re now overcompensating.”
But from the look of things now, she was wrong. Their relationship had been flourishing these few dayshe’d been keeping her company at home. Not only did he often whisper sweet nothings to her, but heeven waited on her attentively and patiently, good-natured all the time.
Old Mrs. Constance then watched television for a while before she suddenly recalled something andturned to look at her. “Did Logan contact you? What’s the status of his relationship with Lola now?”
Sophia truly had no idea about this since Logan didn’t phone her nowadays. He often called her backthen and asked her out, but he seldom did so ever since she returned to Constance Residence. There
was also another possibility—she was now pregnant, so it wasn’t convenient for her to go out.
Old Mrs. Constance’s gaze went back to the television, but her words were still directed to Sophia.“After mulling it over, I actually think that Logan and Lola indeed make quite a good match. I could tellthat she’s a decent girl with just a glance. Anyway, never mind if she can’t get together with Dylan. Iwon’t fret about it anymore.”
Sophia pursed her lips. She’s still thinking about introducing some girl to Dylan. Although her wordswere meant to congratulate them, it still sounded full of regret. She patted Old Mrs. Constance’s hand,saying nothing.
The few of them remained home for the rest of the afternoon. Despite doing nothing much, time passedin a blur. When evening fell, William came back very early with Matilda.
