Female Novel
Chapter 669
Paying no heed to Matilda, Sophia went straight into the dining room, where Ms. Cannon had alreadyprepared dinner, and she sat right down. “It smells wonderful.”
“You really don’t plan to take a look upstairs?” Matilda asked, joining her in the dining room.
Without lifting her head, Sophia began to dig in and answered, “No, I’ll take a look after dinner.”
In the meantime, John stormed into the master bedroom, but he wasn’t exactly angry. Earlier in hisoffice, he spent a long time thinking about it and had mentally prepared himself for what Sophia said.Otherwise, he couldn’t find an explanation as to why someone would spend a huge amount of moneyjust to hire a person to knock her down. It didn’t make any sense.
Despite that, he was uneasy because he didn’t know when Sophia found out about her pregnancy andwhy she kept it from him before this. She didn’t know how to explain the matter to me? Or was it thatshe didn’t plan to do it at all? If it was the latter, what did she plan to do with the child?
After staying in the room for a long while, yet Sophia still didn’t come after him, he was left hanging withhis temper flaring as he stood there, until he decided to rummage through the drawers in the closet.There, he found her checkup report and adrenaline pumped through his veins after a quick glance at it.
Even though he couldn’t understand the report, he could roughly understand the results of the checkupfrom the textual explanation. When he was done with the report, he finally let out a deep, long sigh.
Carefully, he kept the report away. Although he couldn’t fully understand it, he knew that it held the firstphotograph of his child.
Even after he sat on the bed for a long time, nobody came upstairs, so he decided to leave the roomimpatiently. When he went downstairs, however, the atmosphere was jovial.
Matilda had instructed Ms. Cannon to prepare some fruits and was telling Sophia which kind of fruitswould produce lovable children with large eyes and fair skin, while Sophia listened intently as she hadno knowledge about such issues.
While skinning the grapes for her, Matilda elaborated, “If you take more of this, your child will have eyesas big as grapes. Look at John’s eyes; it was all due to the grapes I’ve eaten. When I was pregnant, Iwould eat grapes whenever possible. Of course, I would also take apples and milk. Listen to me andyou won’t go wrong. When your child is born, your baby boy will be handsome, and pretty if it’s a babygirl.”
With a fork in her hand, Sophia was rather obedient and popped the grapes into her mouth one afteranother. “It’s sweet.”
“For sure it is because I spent so much time picking it out. I almost tasted them one by one just to besure!” Matilda said and laughed heartily.
Giggling, Sophia said, “You’ve bought so much. I don’t think I can finish it all.”
“Not a problem,” she answered casually. “Give the leftovers to John. Just give it to him if you’ve hadenough.”
From the top of the staircase, John peered at the women downstairs who were speaking to each otheras if they had forgotten the past discord between them and were getting along extraordinarilypeacefully now. Almost instantly, the anger in him evaporated at this sight. It seemed like Matilda
already knew about this from the beginning and Sophia wasn’t planning on keeping this from himcompletely.
As it had been a while since the checkup and Sophia didn’t take any other actions, it appeared that shehad intentions of keeping the child.
Slowly, he went downstairs and Sophia lifted her eyes at him. “Would you like to have dinner? The foodis still warm. You should really try Ms. Cannon’s cooking. It’s really delicious.” novelbin
Pacing next to her, he said, “Sophia, don’t you think that you owe me an explanation? Do you think thatthis matter is over just like this?”
Sophia shot Matilda a look from the corner of her eyes and the latter blinked a couple of times beforebringing out her previous attitude toward Sophia.
