With her brows knitted together, Sophia gave John a meaningful glance. “You looked kind of upset.”
Pinching her face, John grinned. “Nonsense. I look happy whenever I see you.”
Just then, something crossed his mind. “Don’t wander off on your own for these few days. If you needanything, I’ll send someone over to get it for you. I was followed when I was on the way back just now.They didn’t do anything, so I’m not sure what they were up to.”
Shocked, Sophia asked, “You were followed during broad daylight? What were they planning to do?”
Letting out a sigh, John said, “I’m not sure whether they were after me or you. Just in case, you’d betternot wander off on your own and stay at home. Let me know if you need anything. I’ll send someoneover.”
Placing her hands on her belly, Sophia nodded obediently.
At times, she might be stubborn, but this time, she had to listen to him. She was no longer on her own,as she had to bear a mother’s responsibility.
Holding Sophia in his arms, John said, “Let’s go. I need to finish my meal.”
