They went into the shop and ordered something to drink. Isabelle looked outside and made aseemingly offhand statement. “Miss Gwendolyn seems to be walking oddly the last time I saw her.”
Matilda chuckled. “Is that so?” she answered with a question. novelbin
Isabelle looked at her from the corner of her eye and smiled faintly. They went to have lunch afterhaving their boba tea, and Isabelle treated her all the way. Matilda let her do what she wanted. When itwas almost time, she made some small talk with Isabelle and hailed a ride home. John was alreadythere and had lunch when she came home, while Sophia was on a recliner in the yard, looking relaxed.
John was looking in a certain direction in the yard, and when Matilda got out of the car, she heard himsay, “You think it’s here too?”
Sophia didn’t look where John was looking. “Yeah, I think so. You might want to check if any unit wasrented out and who the tenant is.”
John nodded. “Yeah. I think that’s about the angle, but I didn’t manage to look into it closely.”
Matilda went up to them. “What are you two talking about?”
Sophia quickly sat up when she saw Matilda was back. “You’re back.” She gave Matilda a look thatsaid ‘I need to talk to you alone’.
Matilda knew what she was trying to say. “Yeah, and I’m beat. I’ll be in my room to change.”
Thus, she went up first, then Sophia came after her. She stood at Matilda’s room’s doorstep and lookedat Matilda as she changed clothes. “Did you tell her?”
Matilda looked up at her. “Yes. The moment I said I’m taking you to the hospital in a few days, she keptasking me about that. I wonder what she’s thinking.” Then, she gave Sophia a look. “And I wonder whatyou’re thinking.”
Sophia leaned against the doorframe languidly. “You’ll know when it happens.”
Matilda straightened herself up and tied her hair in a bun. “You and your little schemes. Be careful, willyou? You need to remember that things are different now. Don’t forget that you’re pregnant, so don’t doanything rash.”
“Yeah, yeah, I know.” Sophia looked at the shopping bags on the bed and went to pick them up. “Youreally love shopping. I seem to remember you buying a lot when you shopped with us.”
Matilda glanced at the bag Sophia was holding. “Isabelle paid for it, so technically, she’s the one whowas shopping. That girl was really eager today. Probably the most eager I’ve ever seen.”
Sophia smiled. “That’s great, isn’t it? You were nice to her, so she’s nice to you now.”
Matilda clicked her tongue. “That’s because she wanted something from me. That’s nothing to behappy about.”
Sophia didn’t make any comments. A while later, John came up and noticed the ladies chatting in theroom. He went up to them. “What are you two talking about? Seems like a secret.”
“Nothing,” Matilda replied. “Just talking about Sophia’s checkup.”
The mention of the checkup piqued John’s interest. “I’ll go with you.” He looked at Sophia. “What kindof checkup will it be?”
Sophia stared at him for a while before answering, “Sure. Can’t keep you out of the loop. This time it’llbe a blood test and ultrasonography.”
John grinned and came up to caress Sophia’s face. “When will you be going?”
