Only then did she release him and got into the car with John.
Suddenly, John shot him an angry stare, but he merely had a nonchalant look on his face with his hands in his
pockets, which made John even angrier.
When the car left the place, Sophia let out a deep, long sigh. “I don’t know why, but I feel sorry toward him.”
“Why should you be sorry? He’s doing much better than you think,” John said coldly. “Also, why did you hug him?
Your husband is right there next to you, but you went and hugged another man. You really don’t take me seriously
at all, do you?”
There he goes again. Sophia was exasperated. She didn’t want to get into an argument with him because he had
nagged at her nonstop earlier on their way here, saying that she was only coming to meet Ian and wasn’t caring

His nonsense was piling up so much recently that she could no longer be bothered with him.
Leaning back into the seat, she looked out the car window, and even though she didn’t say a word, John was able to
babble through the whole journey.
He complained that she was disregarding him more and more, and he could clearly feel that she didn’t love him
anymore.
That almost cracked her up as she thought that only women were capable of saying such things. Now that it came
out of his mouth, it made her doubt her knowledge of the world.
The young master of the Constance Family didn’t used to be this childish before.
Is it because he had been staying at home too long that it affected his intelligence? Sophia pondered with her eyes
closed. But she could only shut her eyes and not her ears, which meant that she had to bear with his babble all the
way home.
When the car stopped after they had reached home, she directly hopped off the car and even wondered if she
would have to spend her old age in John’s naggings. It was actually kinda bittersweet, thinking about it.
In the main building, Old Mrs. Constance and Matilda were watching television with soft smiles on their faces, while
William was seated at the corner of the couch with a laptop on his lap, furrowing his brows slightly as he kept his
eyes fixed on the computer screen.
It was a very peaceful scene.
In brisk steps, Sophia walked ahead of John but came to a stop at the doorsteps

After a short moment of hesitation, she took out her cell phone and took a picture of the three people in the living
room. Upon hearing noises, Matilda spun her head toward her and exclaimed, “You’re back! I was just saying that
you should be home just about now. You’re now not physically fit to spend the night too long with the rest of them.”
Taking a seat at her side, Sophia grabbed an apple from the fruit basket next to them and took a bite. “There were
a lot of people there, and it’s quite a party, but it’s true that I’m feeling a little sleepy. Or else I would really like to
stay longer and have a few games of poker with them.” Matilda giggled. “Poker? I like that. Let’s have a few games
soon.” While she chewed away at her apple, she nodded in agreement. “We should, and we will have enough
players if Dad and John join us as well.” Looking a little helpless, Old Mrs. Constance chimed in, “You were just telling
me about prenatal education a few days ago, but look now. Is poker going to be your prenatal education?” Unable
to hold back her laughter, Sophia laughed. “A child needs to develop all-roundedly from its moral, intelligence,
physical, and artistic skills. This can train its intelligence.” Then, she turned to Matilda. “We saw Yolanda on our way
home.” As she was speaking quite loud, she believed that William had heard her. Despite that, there was no
reaction from him, and he kept his head low while the laptop occupied his attention.
