Female Novel
Chapter 847
Seemingly awkward, Matilda faked a cough and brushed Sophia off with a nonchalant grunt. It wasonly then that the call finally ended. Upon hanging up the call, Sophia happily chuckled while makingher way downstairs.
At the same time, John and Old Mrs. Constance were seen sitting at the dining table, apparentlywaiting for Sophia’s arrival. However, John could guess what had likely happened when he noticedSophia’s smile. As the lady sat down beside him, he caressed her hair with his palm. “Are you satisfiednow?”
Sophia replied, “Yeah, but I still think Master William could be a little more aggressive. Anyway, thingsseem to be going well for them both right now, and if everything goes as planned, we’ll eventually seethe happy ending we want. After all, they’re mutually in love with each other, so I really don’tunderstand why they’re acting like they don’t care for each other.”
Old Mrs. Constance agreed with Sophia as she turned her attention to John. “Exactly. If your dad canbe like you, he’ll probably have already remarried Matilda.”
After hearing his grandmother, John shifted his gaze to Sophia and said, “If you can be as easy-goingas my mother is, we’ll probably have remarried.” In response, Sophia stuck out her tongue at him with asmile. Because of Matilda’s matter, the three of them had a rather enjoyable lunch.
After lunch, John decided to spend their leisure time by taking Sophia for a walk around the ConstanceResidence. Since he didn’t have any topic to talk about in particular, John mentioned Lady Jennifer toSophia since he had run into her just now. In that instant, Sophia was reminded of Lady Jennifer’s sourlook when she saw her with Dylan previously. Although Sophia knew Lady Jennifer was concerned thatDylan couldn’t find a girlfriend because of her, she wished for her to know that she would never be with
Dylan even if she wasn’t pregnant. After all, she still had a sense of shame, regardless of how othersviewed her. People say we become wiser as we age, but it looks like that is not the case with LadyJennifer. I can’t believe she still dwells on that matter.
John let out a sigh, wondering when Dylan would ever find a girlfriend.
Sophia pondered for a while and answered, “He’ll find the right person when the time comes. What’sthe point of those around him getting so anxious for him?”
John then turned around and gazed at Sophia with a smile without saying anything much. As thecouple continued to walk further, Sophia finally revealed her opinion. “You guys read too much into it.Look, I’m not dumb, and I know what I’m doing.”
After taking a stroll around the residence, both of them eventually settled down on a bench in thebackyard. With his hand placed on Sophia’s tummy, he said, “It’s about time for your check-up soon.Let me know ahead so that I can take you to the hospital.”
Sophia leaned back on the bench and replied, “No need for that. If you’re busy, you should attend towork first. Madam Flintstone and I can handle it.”
Then, John held Sophia’s hands and rubbed her palms. “Nothing is more important than taking you fora check-up. I want to be there with you and watch our child grow up.” Then, he turned around andgazed at the lady. “I’m serious and determined this time, and I want you to know that. I mean it evenwhen I said those words to you earlier on.”
Oh jeez! His cliché confession is giving me goosebumps. Despite that thought, Sophia answered,“Alright, I heard you loud and clear. You’ve been a good boy lately, anyway.”
Time passed by quickly, and John realized it was about time for him to leave. Therefore, he walkedSophia back to the main building and drove back to his office. Much to his surprise, he still hadn’t seenWilliam back, making him wonder how much longer his father’s lunch was going to take.
After that, John sat in his chair and reached for his phone, only to see a few messages from his menabout the interrogation. Upon skimming through each of them, he deleted all the messages and put hisphone down. A few moments later, Zack came over and told him, “Boss, we’ve done a check-up onyour car, and it’s perfectly fine. It appears that the culprit didn’t do anything else to your car besidesattaching the bug to it.”novelbin
