Chapter 648
Visibly angered, Sophia couldn’t help but raise her voice. On the other hand, Matilda was staring at her
without even registering her attitude. Hesitantly, she stated, “You’re pregnant.” Seeing that Sophia
remained silent, Matilda went on, “And I suppose John is the father?”
Sophia denied rather directly, “No, he’s not.”
Taking a deep breath, Matilda pointed out, “You don’t really associate yourself with other men except
for John.”
As if Ian and Logan are women, Sophia grumbled internally.
After some thought, Matilda asked, “Does John not know about this?”
Meanwhile, Sophia folded the report so that she could tuck it into her pocket. “As I said, he’s not the
father, so this has nothing to do with him.”
However, it only further convinced Matilda that the child belonged to John, as she knew Sophia wasn’t
a yer. Although she didn’t like Sophia, she figured she shouldn’t be framing Sophia regardless of
their rtionship. With a frown, Matilda ignored what Sophia told her, all the while following her own
line of thought. “Your belly will swell, so you won’t be able to hide the truth.”
Sophia took a few deep breaths before sitting down on her bed. Confused, Matilda asked, “Why won’t
you tell him about your pregnancy? If things go well, you might be able to remarry him.”
However, Sophia only sneered at her. “Your son isn’t as special as you perceive him to be. Despite
being pregnant, I have no intention to use it as an excuse to remarry him.” Lifting her head, she stared
at Matilda. “Perhaps you don’t know, but your son is the one who is begging to remarry me, so I am the
one being forced.”
Matilda locked eyes with Sophia. “Why don’t you want to remarry him?” Given that even someone as
prestigious as Isabelle was aiming for John, Matilda didn’t quite believe in what Sophia told her. Due to
the fact that Sophia was of even lower status than Isabelle, Matilda didn’t believe that Sophia wouldn’t
want to marry John.
With a smile on her face, Sophia shot back, “With you as his mother, I would of course exclude him
from my list.”
Matilda hissed before saying, “You mean—” However, she bit her own tongue uponying eyes on
Sophia’s belly.
Meanwhile, Sophia lowered her gaze to look at her own feet. “The child is mine, and mine alone. It has
nothing to do with anybody else.”
It wasn’t until a whileter that Matilda found her voice again. “If I told John about this…” Sophia lifted
her head abruptly to shoot Matilda a pointed look, which managed to silence thetter. After a
moment’s pause, Matilda raised her chin to say defiantly, “In your dreams! I’ll never tell him about the
baby! I hope you’ll never be able to get together with him anyway!” Having said that, Matilda licked her
lips. “However, I trust you will not go for an abortion, am I right?”
Without giving a direct answer, Sophia asked, “What do you mean?”
Knowing that Sophia must’ve misconstrued what she said, Matilda supplied, “I don’t n on doing
anything. It’s just a question.”
Sophia snapped back in an icy tone, “Don’t you worry, as I will never use the child as leverage against
the Constances. It’s as I told you, the child is mine, and mine alone. It has nothing to do with anybody
else.” For a long while, Matilda stared at Sophia in silence.
On the other hand, John and Logan were cooking downstairs. With Logan rambling about what
happened to the Morgans, John took a peek at the living room, only to see that neither Sophia nor
Matilda were there. Startled, he washed his hands before exiting the kitchen in search of them, but
neither of them were in the yard, so he went upstairs in a hurry.
As soon as he got onto the second floor, Matilda was already on her way out from Sophia’s room with a
sullen look on her face, to whom he asked, “What have you been talking about?”
ncing at John, Matilda replied, “Don’t worry. With Sophia’s temperament, I am always the one being
bullied.” With that, she brushed past John to go down the stairs, leaving the premises without staying
for dinner.
