Sophia then looked away. “Thanks.”
Thinking that she liked the dress he had picked out for her, John smirked. “Do you like the dress I’ve chosen?”
Sophia grunted and closed the wardrobe, whereupon she directly got changed into the dress in front of him. With
her clothes on, her bulge wasn’t conspicuous, but after she took off her clothes, it was obvious that her belly had
grown larger.
Grinning, John stretched out his hand to stroke her belly. “Your belly has grown bigger. It feels like only a short
period of time has passed.”
Gazing at her own belly, Sophia said, “John, not long after we were divorced, you told me you wanted to remarry
me. What were you thinking?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJohn was startled as he never expected that Sophia would mention this.
At that time, Matilda took a sneak shot of their divorce certificate and sent it to the Baileys. There were rumors that
he and Isabelle had gotten together, so her reputation had been affected negatively. With the photo in their hands,
the Baileys threatened John to expose the fact that he had divorced Sophia.
In fact, John wasn’t willing to do that because he understood Sophia very well. If the fact that they were divorced
were exposed, it would be hard to win her heart again.
When he told Sophia he wanted to remarry her, she rejected the request directly.
After hesitating for a bit, John turned around and hugged her from behind. “I felt terrible at that time. Previously, I
found you very irritating, but after you left, I realized that I couldn’t live without you.”
Smiling faintly, he continued, “The situation wasn’t in my favor. It seemed that I was forced to sever ties with you.
Then, I asked myself how I would feel if you were no longer part of my life. I thought I would feel terrible.”
After a pause, he went on to say, “Sophia, perhaps at that time, or even earlier than that, I had fallen in love with
you, but I wasn’t aware of that fact myself.”
Upon adjusting her dress, Sophia whirled around. “Alright. It’s time to go
” When they arrived downstairs, Matilda and Old Mrs. Constance were discussing what to serve for dinner. It
seemed that they were serious about the gathering in the evening. John held Sophia’s hand and walked toward the
car. Not long after the car moved out of the mansion, John received a call from Isabelle, whose voice sounded
rather dispassionate. “John, I have two tickets for a blockbuster movie. Do you want to watch it with me?” Hearing
that, Sophia frowned, but she didn’t utter a word. Since John had turned on hands-free mode, his expression
changed when he heard this. In a cold voice, he questioned, “What are you thinking?” Isabelle chuckled and said in
a milder voice, “Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean to pursue you or anything. It’s just that I have two tickets with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmme now, and I don’t have any other friends, so you’re the only one I can think of.” Seeing as John remained silent,
Isabelle let out a sigh. “Alright, I get what you mean. I’ll ask around if anyone needs the tickets.
I don’t need them anyway.” After a pause, John asked, “What is the time slot for the movie?” Startled for a
moment, Isabelle then replied, “It’s in the evening. We can have dinner first before going over to the theater.” John
inquired, “Two tickets, right?” Isabelle quickly gave him a grunt. Following that, John said, “Alright. Give me the
tickets then. I’ll pass you the money later. Sophia hasn’t stepped out of the house for a long time, so I’d like to
watch a movie with her.” Sophia was trying to hold back her laughter. Apparently, John was trying to embarrass
Isabelle.
