Female Novel
Chapter 943
Stunned to hear her son’s voice, Matilda turned to John and asked, “How did you reach home soquickly? Did you cross any red lights?”
Not interested in discussing how he got home in a short period of time, John placed his hands on theback of the couch and said, “If I knew you’re here, I would have asked Dad to come home as well.”
With her eyes still fixed on the screen, Sophia said, “It’s fine. Your mom called Master William just now.He said that he’s not coming back in the afternoon because he’s busy, but he’ll return home in theevening.”
Smiling faintly, Matilda never uttered a word.
Standing behind the couch, John ran his fingers through Sophia’s hair. Seeing as she never respondedto him, he stretched out his hand to pinch her face.
Suppressing her urge to laugh, Sophia remained silent.
Unable to take it anymore, John leaned close to her and said, “I’ll go upstairs to get changed now. Areyou coming with me?”
Trying to make herself sound calm, Sophia replied, “No. Why should I go with you?”
After a pause, John went on to say, “Aren’t we going out later? Of course we’ll have to get changed.”
Bursting into laughter, Sophia turned around to eye him. “We’re going to have lunch soon. After that,we’ll go.”
Sophia didn’t try to change the topic, implying that John didn’t misunderstand their conversation overthe phone. Smiling, he circled around the couch and took a seat beside her. “Alright. We’ll go afterlunch.”
Not understanding what they were talking about, Matilda turned to them. “Why are you going out later?As a pregnant lady, Sophia should stay at home.” novelbin
Before Sophia could speak, John hurriedly said, “We’re going to the Civil Affairs Bureau later.”
Astounded, Matilda gazed at Sophia with widened eyes. “Are you going to register for marriage?”
Sophia didn’t give her a definitive answer. “Oh, we’re going there to have a look.”
What is there to look around the Civil Affairs Bureau? Looking at her son from the corner of her eye,Matilda said, “Congratulations, my son. Your wish has come true.”
With a bashful face, John thanked his mother.
When Old Mrs. Constance came downstairs later, she was surprised to see John at this hour becauseit wasn’t time for him to get off work yet. Moreover, she was puzzled to see the excitement on his face.
As she was going down the stairs, she asked, “Has anything good happened at work that you’verushed home to tell us about?”
Shaking his head, John smirked. He hadn’t been so happy for quite some time now.
Seeing as John never replied to her, Old Mrs. Constance turned to Sophia, who seemed to beabsorbed in the drama and oblivious to the others.
A moment later, Matilda said, “John and Sophia are going to remarry later.”
With her eyes widened, Old Mrs. Constance asked in disbelief, “Really?” Not believing what she hadheard, she walked up to Sophia and asked, “Sophia, have you really made up your mind? Have youdecided to remarry John because of our persuasion?”
Shifting her attention to the old lady, Sophia said in an impassive manner, “I’m just going to the bureauto have a look. At this moment, I’m not sure what my next move will be.”
Despite what she had said, Old Mrs. Constance understood that she simply didn’t want to say it out in aclear manner, but she was a kind woman with a soft heart.
Grinning from ear to ear, Old Mrs. Constance clapped her hands and said, “Alright. After you leave, I’lltell the housekeeper to buy more ingredients from the supermarket. Since this is a happy day, tell myother sons and their family members to come here as well. We’ll celebrate it together. Oh, mygoodness, I’m so happy! We haven’t had such a joyful time for a long time.”
