Female Novel
Chapter 693
Sophia pursed her lips. So he went home to ask for his grandmother’s help, huh? He thinks this willmake me give in? Not a chance. A short moment of silence later, Sophia said, “I won’t remarry. Thatmight happen, but at least it won’t be now. Of course, I’ll give birth to the child, and you can come forvisits when you want, but I won’t marry him for the time being.”
Belinda was taken aback by her answer. “So you won’t marry even at this point? But this child will beborn in an incomplete family. It’ll stunt his growth. Tell us what you dislike, Sophia. John will change foryou.”
Sophia felt like laughing. Never did she expect the Constances to negotiate with her, not even in herwildest dreams. Subsequently, she took a deep breath. “Nothing, really. But I’d be happy if he canleave me alone.”
Belinda gave John a disappointed look. “What are you doing? Why is Sophia so angry at you? Shedoesn’t want to marry you even after she’s pregnant with your baby. You’d better reflect on yourself.”
John played along. “Yes, yes, of course. I know I’m in the wrong, and I’ll change. I won’t do it again.”Even though they were trying to calm her down, Sophia still looked gloomy.
Left with no choice, Belinda changed the subject. “I’m surprised to see Matilda here. Are you twogetting along?”
Sophia nodded. “She’s here to take care of me, and she’s been nice. We’ve talked about the past, andit’s water under the bridge now.” novelbin
“I see,” Belinda murmured. “I didn’t expect to see her here. Frankly, it gave me quite a shock.”
At this, John smiled. “Mom changed a lot. She’s getting along with Sophia better now, but stricter onme.”
Belinda nodded and looked outside. She could see Matilda had changed and was looking younger.When Matilda greeted her earlier, at a glance, she knew she was different from before. Compared tothe old her, Matilda looked dignified, or to be exact, distant.
For some reason, Belinda thought Matilda was trying to avoid meeting William. She thought Matildawould try to approach him, for all she wanted was to remarry William before this.
At the same time, Matilda and William took a stroll on the sidewalk near Sophia’s house. William toldMatilda he saw her in the mall a few days ago, and she smiled. “Yeah, I saw you, too.”

William nodded. “I was there to buy some stuff.”
“I see,” Matilda said. Then silence descended. William was finding it hard to adapt to this silence.Matilda seemed to have grown out of her shell, and she was a totally different person from the one whokept calling him back then.
A while later, William said, “So you’re living with Sophia? I was surprised to see you here.”
Matilda nodded. So John didn’t tell them about me. “Yeah. At least we have each other here,” she saidcalmly.
William chuckled. “So you two have been getting along well, I see.”
Matilda turned to face him. “Let’s not talk about me. What about you? How’s work?”
William nodded. “The usual. Nothing different from what I’ve been doing. It’s work, work, work all day,every day.”
