Chapter 662
If things went on in that direction, Matilda might very well blurt out the fact that Sophia was pregnant.Scratching her head, Sophia tried to imagine how John would react once he knew she was pregnant,but to no avail. Despite the fear of knowing how he would react, she couldn’t help but be curious aboutit. The two choices were pulling her in two directions, putting her in a tight spot.
Subsequently, Sophia took out the report from the checkup and stared at it. Soon, the commotiondownstairs indicated that dinner was ready, so she quickly tucked the report away. Without needingJohn to come get her, she went downstairs after tidying her clothes. In the meantime, the others hadalready set up the table, while John had gotten to the staircase, apparently intending to go get her.Upon noticing that Sophia came down on her own, John smiled. “Come, let’s eat.”
Laying eyes on John, Sophia realized he was still wearing the apron, which presented him as a familyman. Sophia pursed her lips, only to let out a giggle after a few seconds. “You look nice in that.”
John smiled as soon as he heard her remark. “Is that so? If that’s the case, I suppose I will cook for youwhenever I have time.”
Without a word, Sophia entered the dining room alongside John. Meanwhile, Matilda was alreadysitting by the table. Staring at the dishes laid out on it, she clicked her tongue. “My son sure haschanged after marrying his wife. He can cook almost anything.”
Both Sophia and John were startled by Matilda’s words, as she didn’t depict them as beingindependent from each other. However, Logan began eating as he didn’t notice what Matilda said. Onthe other hand, Sophia took a deep breath while her stomach began churning. Due to the variety ofdishes, she was being presented with a myriad of smells that seemed to upset her stomach.
Sophia tried to hold herself back while grasping onto her fork, but failed miserably when she had toleave the dining room in a hurry. There was a pause in John’s movements before he stood up, butMatilda was even faster than him. Meanwhile, Sophia was leaning against the basin when she puked,which literally emptied her stomach of what little content it had.
Matilda helped soothe her by patting on her back, all the while heaving a sigh. “Bear with it. That’s justhow things are in the beginning stages.”
In the meantime, John held a menacing gaze while looking in the direction of the washroom from theentrance of the dining room. All strength had left Sophia when the bout of sickness was over, soMatilda had to help her to the sofa. Glancing at John, Matilda heaved a sigh. “I suppose it was becauseof her gastritis. You should leave this to me.”
John stared at Sophia’s pale face. “Are you sure it’s a case of gastritis?”
With a hum and a nod, Matilda shut him down. “Yeah, of course it is. What else could it be?” What shesaid managed to silence him.
A while later, Sophia stood from the sofa while waving her hand. “I’ll be resting upstairs. Since I nolonger have an appetite now, I’ll eat later when I’m hungry.”
Matilda wouldn’t let her go up on her own, whereas John stood watching after taking a few steps fromthe table. Upon helping Sophia lie down on bed, Matilda was beginning to feel sorry for her, as sheknew how hard it was from personal experience. She had it better, as William was always beside her,so she was always venting out her frustrations on him by bossing him around, which somehow madenovelbin
her feel better. However, it was different with Sophia, as the latter had to conceal everything, so shecould only rely on herself, which was a sad sight to behold.
