Old Mrs. Constance was taken aback by Sophia’s words, and she stared at the younger woman wordlessly.
John came down after a while. Since it was still a little early, breakfast wasn’t ready yet, so he came over and stood beside Sophia.
Stretching his arms, he looked for something to talk about. “Why did you get up so early today? You usually sleep a lot nowadays.”
Sophia answered, “I went to bed a bit early yesterday.”
John nodded. After a while, he continued, “Your pregnancy checkup is just round the corner, right? I’ll go with you.”
Sophia didn’t protest about this matter either, so she agreed with him.
Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Constance went back to sit in the living room. She found a magazine and started to read it.
After standing beside Sophia for a while, John felt like he had reached an impasse with her. Thus, he then turned around and went to the living room.
Old Mrs. Constance raised her eyes at him. “What’s the matter? You hit a wall?”
John pursed his lips. “I don’t know if I should be happy or upset now.”
Sophia’s attitude had really affected his mood. It wasn’t about her being happy or not. He just didn’t know whether he should be happy about it.
Old Mrs. Constance beckoned toward John and had him sit down
Then, she lowered her voice and said to him, “What was yesterday about? Why did you ask Isabelle to come over?” John pursed his mouth and spoke after a few seconds of silence. “I didn’t ask her to come over. I originally wanted to meet her outside. Perhaps she was too anxious about things, so she showed up here herself.” Old Mrs. Constance frowned. “You and Sophia haven’t remarried yet. If you do this now, does that mean you are not planning to keep this wife and child anymore?” “Why would I think that?” John’s eyes widened. “Did Sophia say something to you?” Old Mrs. Constance shook her head. “She didn’t say anything, but women understand each other even without saying anything. You really shouldn’t do such things. Right now, you can’t outdo her at all. So what are you getting at by doing such a thing?” John felt distress coursing through his veins, which made him very uncomfortable, and that made him sigh. “I just wanted to prove something.” Old Mrs. Constance snorted. “You’re a smart man, yet how could you make such a stupid move at this time? Even if you want to prove something, you can’t use this approach. It will only make Sophia stray away from you. It appears that you still don’t know enough about women.” John’s expression was a little aggrieved. Then, he turned his head and glanced at Sophia, who was still standing in front of the main building. Indeed, he could not outdo her. This woman has become more and more heartless.
She wasn’t like this before. When it was time for breakfast, John diligently served Sophia. He put the vegetables into Sophia’s bowl, passed the milk to her and even cut the ham for her. Sophia was a little disgusted by his behavior, so she turned to look at John and said, “If you have something to say, just say it to my face. You don’t need to act all chivalrous here.” Taken aback for a moment, John quickly explained, “I have nothing to say. Why is this considered chivalrous? I’m just trying to be nice to you.” Old Mrs. Constance almost wanted to cover her face in mortification. This stupid boy! She had always felt that John was rather thoughtless when it came to relationships, and she knew that one day he would suffer. Now that he had really suffered, she thought that he would slowly learn something from it. But why does it seem that he’s just becoming more and more stupid instead? After breakfast, John went to work again. Sophia wanted to go out for a walk, so the two of them walked to the parking lot together, then Sophia turned to walk to the back garden by herself. However, John was a step faster. He stepped up and embraced Sophia in his arms. Sophia’s belly was slightly bulging now, so John held her loosely. He bowed his head and kissed her on the forehead before taking the initiative to admit his mistake. “I was wrong about what happened yesterday. I forgot to consider your feelings. Please don’t take it to heart. I promise I won’t do it again.”
