Female Novel
Chapter 783
Sophia was a little puzzled about what their definition of a healthy and complete family was.
Will the family be healthy and complete just because we have that piece of paper? It’s as if without theremarriage, the child has to lose either the father or the mother. But both of us are alive and well, right?We’re also looking forward to the child’s arrival. Why are we not a healthy and complete family?
Sitting to the side, Dylan was aware of what was going on, so he quickly said, “This is Sophia andJohn’s private matter, so we can’t plan for them. They will think it through and decide for themselves.I’m sure no matter what their decision is, it will definitely be justified.”
Lady Jennifer glanced at Dylan from the corner of her eyes and seemed a little unhappy. Old Mrs.Constance said next to her, “Yes, they have to think and decide for themselves. We shouldn’t meddle intheir business. Any decision they make will be for the best.”
Since Old Mrs. Constance said so, Lady Jennifer had nothing more to say. After a few seconds, MasterOwen changed the topic and talked about the company’s affairs. Lady Jennifer looked at Matilda. “Mydear sister-in-law, you’ve changed a lot.”
Matilda played with her hair. “Really? I don’t think so.”
“It’s really a big change.” Lady Jennifer nodded. “I feel that you’ve become much younger all of asudden. Besides, I somehow think that you’re no longer your past self.”
Back then, when Matilda sat there, she had to put on airs and act like an aristocratic woman in herevery move. But now, she was reclining on the sofa without caring for her image at all.
Laughing, Matilda replied, “I suppose so.”
When there was a lull in the conversation, William looked over at Lady Jennifer and Matilda. These twopeople are actually chatting. I’ve never seen this happen before.
Matilda wasn’t on good terms with anyone in the family back then. She was so full of herself that shethought she was superior to others and was always slanting her eyes at them. Lady Jennifer wasparticularly at odds with her. So, it was a rare and surprising sight indeed for them to be chatting.
After talking for a while, John’s phone rang, so he took it out and glanced at it before getting up.“Excuse me, I need to answer the phone.”
Sophia raised her brows and slowly followed John. He went outside while Sophia stood in the doorway.She couldn’t hear clearly, but she had a feeling that it was his subordinate who had called.
John didn’t talk for long, and he hung up after less than a minute. Turning his head, he saw Sophiastanding in the doorway staring at him and asked helplessly, “What are you doing here?”
Faced with his question, Sophia blinked innocently. “Are you going out to see Old Leopard?”
John went over to touch Sophia’s face. He spoke in a subdued tone, trying not to let those in the roomhear him. “Yes, I’m going to take a look.”
Enthusiastically, Sophia said, “Take me along, take me along.”
Seeing how excited she was, John smiled. “It’s too late in the day now, so you'd better wait at home. I’llinform you about the situation there as soon as possible, alright? My subordinate said that the guy has
already admitted to everything. He’s the kind of crafty fox who won’t suffer even a little. Just by verballythreatening him, he’ll spill the beans. There’s no point for you to go there.”
Sophia was a little unhappy. “I just want to go over and take a look.”
John touched her belly. “That kind of place isn’t an appropriate one for a child. Even if the baby canonly hear the sounds, it’s better not to let the baby hear them.”
Looking down at her own belly, she recalled that Matilda had recently been nagging her a lot, sayingthat the child could sense what was going on outside and that the child could hear everything as well.Although she thought it was nonsensical before, upon careful consideration… novelbin
She hummed slightly; her expression was still rather upset. “All right, then I won’t go.”
John gently pinched her face. “If there are any problems, I’ll tell you when I come back. I promise not tohide anything from you and tell you everything.”
