Chapter 670
Matilda stiffened herself while she looked at John. “What’s there to explain? Just go and have yourdinner now. What explanation are you expecting? You should be grateful that she already told youabout it. Don’t ask for too much, young man.”
With knitted brows, John stared at her. Since when did Mom become this way?
Glaring at him, Matilda continued, “Hurry up and have your dinner. After that, bring Sophia out for awalk. She can’t be sitting too much now that she’s pregnant. Exercising appropriately is fine.” Then,she waved a hand at him as though to dismiss him.
John nearly broke into laughter from his incredulity. Since when did these two women become allies?
Before this, both of them would slip into an argument every time they met.
The whole time, Sophia kept her head lowered and ate her fruits. He hesitated for a second anddecided to head into the dining room.
After he sat down, he heard Matilda’s voice from the living room, saying, “Are there any free roomshere? It’s not easy to get a cab at this late hour. I’ll stay the night here.”
John’s hand, which was holding a fork, paused mid-air. Then, Sophia could be heard saying, “Yeah,there are many rooms on the second floor. Take a look at them afterward and pick whichever you like.Ms. Cannon will help to clean it up for you.”
A few seconds passed, and the edges of his lips twitched upward into a smile. When he was finishedwith dinner, he went next to the couch and saw that Sophia was watching TV with Matilda after she had
finished her fruits.
“Let’s go out for a walk,” he said in a solemn tone.
Sophia grunted and got up slowly as she cast him a cautious look. Even Matilda lifted her gaze at himwhen he lowered his eyes, momentarily meeting each other’s eyes for a split second before they bothlooked away at the same time.
They went into the garden. After a while, John paused, staring fixedly at Sophia. Then, as though hehad no other choice, he grabbed her hand in his and said, “Watch your steps.”
Next to him, Sophia pursed her lips and was quiet. Both of them went out for a walk, and that wasliterally the only thing they did as they didn’t exchange a single word. Now, she was fully aware that hewas still pissed at her for hiding her pregnancy from him. Even so, she knew that it was only naturalthat he was upset about it. If she had been in his place, she would have made a huge fuss about it.Thus, she kept her mouth shut because she was aware that she was in the wrong in this matter.
After going one round, John brought her back into the house and they realized that Matilda had alreadygone upstairs to rest for the day. They gave each other a look and then trod upstairs as well. Barely afew seconds had passed since Sophia entered her room when John came in as well.
“My mom took over my room,” he said helplessly.
“My mom took over my room,” he said helplessly.
Dumbfounded, she gazed at him silently as he scanned the room quickly and saw that his pajamaswere placed on her bed. “They even brought my pajamas here,” he said with a straight face.
However, Sophia still kept staring at him while he lamented, “The other rooms were not prepared andit’s already so late now.”
Frowning, she finally spoke. “So?”
Keeping his face straight, John grabbed his pajamas and headed for the bathroom. “So what? It’salready so late, so of course we’re washing up and then going to bed.”
With that, he disappeared into the bathroom while Sophia sat on the bed. Forget it, let him have hisway today, she told herself in her mind with her eyes closed as it wasn’t the best to challenge him,given the situation earlier. novelbin
