Sighing, she went on, “Furthermore, someone is obviously doing nasty things in the dark and wants to harm you. Do
you have any idea what would happen if that person catches up with you if you leave this place? Just the thought of
it is terrifying.”
Tightening her lips into a thin line, Sophia did think about this point as well yesterday. The main issue was, she didn’t
know who was after her, and she couldn’t be sure if she wouldn’t be followed once she left here. She didn’t dare to
risk it, and neither could she bear the consequences of this risk.
Speechless, she lowered her gaze, and Matilda knew that her words had reached her.
Hence, Matilda softened her tone, saying, “Sophia, I think John has the right to know about your pregnancy. It’s not
fair that you’re keeping this from him.” Without waiting for a reply, she continued, “It’s true that John didn’t care
about you in the past, and we all know that this made your heart uncomfortable and flustered. You can get back at
him in other ways for it, but you really shouldn’t do that with this issue. Think about it by placing yourself into his
perspective, how would you feel if you’re John and only found out about this later?”
“Give me some time to think about it,” Sophia answered hurriedly.
Smiling, Matilda agreed, “Alright, think about it carefully. By the way, you don’t have to make a trip to the shop
because I made a stop there on my way here and already told Robin that you’ll be resting at home today.”
As her heart was in confusion, she didn’t have any thoughts of going to her shop at all, so she nodded. “Alright, I got

Unsatisfied with the placement of the furniture in the place, Matilda instructed the workers to change the layout bit
by bit while Sophia went to take a seat in the garden and couldn’t be bothered with what was going on.
Matilda had a point; John did hurt her in some aspects, but he treated her rather well in some other ways, too. She
couldn’t just deny his contributions because of the pain he inflicted upon her and keep him in the dark about such a
serious matter.
Wiping her face, Sophia struggled within herself on how she should open up this topic to John.
As for Matilda, after straining herself for half the day, the floors on both levels were covered in non-slip carpets. Just
like that, without even the need for Sophia to say anything, John would have figured out by himself what was going
on. This was simply too obvious to ignore.
Tonight, he came home a little later and only returned when the food was ready in the kitchen and would be served
soon.
Ms. Cannon was a splendid cook indeed. Using the same ingredients, she was able to cook up dishes that made
Sophia drool from just the aroma.
Meanwhile, John was stunned the moment he came home. The place had gone through tremendous changes; all
corners of the house were covered in carpets, and the living room was now much more spacious with the removal
of many items. Standing at the entrance of the kitchen and watching Ms. Cannon plating the meals, Sophia’s heart
skipped a beat when she saw that he had returned. Spinning around and pacing toward him, she greeted, “You’re
back.”
John nodded and was about to step through the door when she grabbed him by his arm and said, “I have something
to tell you. Let’s talk in the garden.”
Peering at her, he asked, “What is it that has to be said in the garden and not in the house?”
She licked her lips and explained, “Well, you might lose your temper after I tell you. Since the car is just right here,
it’s more convenient for you if you want to drive off when you’re mad. It’s a hassle if you are already in the house
and need to come out again.”
From the way she put it, John felt that it seemed inexcusable for him if he didn’t drive off later. As they both stood in
the garden, Sophia turned back and peered into the house.
