Female Novel
Chapter 666
After tossing around in her bed a couple of times, John fell asleep, and it seemed to her that he hadn’theard a single word she said earlier.
Forget it, maybe he really drank too much, Sophia thought and went into the bathroom for a towel.
She wiped his face and hands before proceeding to take off his jacket. Although he was drunk, he wasrather cooperative and removed his clothes as she wanted.
Finally, she placed the blankets over him and then went to his room. Even though she wasn’t used tohis bed, she was tired and fell asleep soon after she lay down.
When it was almost daybreak, she was awakened by the sound of the door. Opening her eyes, shesaw John coming into the room.
Without the need to ask, she already knew what he was up to, and she turned her back toward him.“You’re annoying.”
John grinned and hugged her from behind. “I can’t sleep when you’re not next to me.”
Couldn’t be bothered with him, she closed her eyes and continued to sleep until late morning withouteven knowing when he had left the room.
So she returned to her room and washed up before coming out again. That was when she heardMatilda’s voice from downstairs, saying, “That’s right, lay it out here where it’s slippery. That side aswell, and also over there, that left side…”
Rushing to the top of the staircase, she glanced down and saw Matilda with a group of people whowere placing carpets in the living room. Even the kitchen seemed to be covered in non-slip mats.
Watching from the top at Matilda, who had her hands on her hips, she did look like she had the stanceas the mistress of the Constance Family from before. As she leaned against the handrail and observed,she had no intention of joining the commotion at all.
The workers carried huge pieces of carpets into the house and placed them carefully on the floor. Theyoga mats which were there before had all been removed, and the hanging chair in the living room wasmoved aside, revealing a wide, open space.
Sophia knew that Matilda was worried she might trip if there were too many things in the way. That’sreally thoughtful of her.
While it seemed that Matilda didn’t feel awkward about meddling so much into her own affairs, she wasthe one feeling rather uneasy about it.
When Matilda was done giving out the instructions, she lifted her head and saw her. Waving a hand ather, she called out, “Come here and don’t lean over there. You look scary like that. Come down andtake a seat here.”
And so, Sophia went downstairs and was surprised to see that there was also a servant besides theworkers placing the carpets.
“Over here, Ms. Cannon,” she heard Matilda saying. “This is Sophia.”
In her fifties, Ms. Cannon looked like an honest and dependable worker, and she hurried over to greet
Sophia, “Hello, Ms. Gwendolyn.” novelbin
Sophia merely blinked and didn’t say a thing, but Matilda continued, “I transferred Ms. Cannon from theFlintstones, and she’s a really great cook. Let me tell you, when I was pregnant with John, I wouldn’teat anyone else’s cooking but hers, and I’m sending her here to take care of you now. You’re pickyabout food during this period, so you should pay more attention to it.”
Glancing at her, Sophia pointed out, “The way you are now is as good as telling John the truth.”
Thinking over with pursed lips, Matilda finally said, “Sophia, I don’t think you can hide your pregnancy,really. It’s not about me telling John about it, but rather about your reaction now. Even before your bellybecomes big, it won’t take him more than a couple of days to become suspicious. How much longer doyou think you can fool him with gastric as an excuse?”
Deep inside, Sophia knew that John was already growing suspicious.
Holding her hand, Matilda led her to the couch and sat down while Ms. Cannon went ahead with herchores. In an incredibly rare occasion, Matilda didn’t seem awkward at all as she took her hand andspoke earnestly, “In your current state, you said you want to leave alone and have the childsomewhere, but listen to me. You haven’t left yet, and you’re speaking about it so lightly when yourbody is having such a huge reaction. If you really leave by yourself and have no one to speak to whenyou’re upset, you’ll definitely regret it.”
