Seemingly awkward, Matilda faked a cough and brushed Sophia off with a nonchalant grunt. It was only then that
the call finally ended. Upon hanging up the call, Sophia happily chuckled while making her way downstairs.
At the same time, John and Old Mrs. Constance were seen sitting at the dining table, apparently waiting for Sophia’s
arrival. However, John could guess what had likely happened when he noticed Sophia’s smile. As the lady sat down
beside him, he caressed her hair with his palm. “Are you satisfied now?”
Sophia replied, “Yeah, but I still think Master William could be a little more aggressive. Anyway, things seem to be
going well for them both right now, and if everything goes as planned, we’ll eventually see the happy ending we
want. After all, they’re mutually in love with each other, so I really don’t understand 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 can be 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-going as my mother
is, we’ll probably have remarried.” In response, Sophia stuck out her tongue at him with a smile. 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 Constance Residence.
Since he didn’t have any topic to talk about in particular, John mentioned Lady Jennifer to Sophia since he had run

previously. Although Sophia knew Lady Jennifer was concerned that Dylan 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 others viewed her. People say we become wiser as we age, but it looks like that
is not the case with Lady Jennifer. 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’s the 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 the couple 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 the backyard. 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 to work 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 for a check-up. I
want to be there with you and watch our child grow up.” Then, he turned around and gazed at the lady. “I’m serious
and determined this time, and I want you to know that. I mean it even when 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 walked Sophia back to
the main building and drove back to his office. Much to his surprise, he still hadn’t seen William 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 men about the
interrogation. Upon skimming through each of them, he deleted all the messages and put his phone down. A few
moments later, Zack came over and told him, “Boss, we’ve done a check-up on your car, and it’s perfectly fine. It
appears that the culprit didn’t do anything else to your car besides attaching the bug to it.”
