    Not interested in discussing how he got home in a short period of time, John ced his hands on the back of the couch and said, “If I knew


    you’re here, I would have asked Dad toe home as well.”


    With her eyes still fixed on the screen, Sophia said, “It’s fine. Your mom called Master William just now. He said that he’s noting back in


    the afternoon because he’s busy, but he’ll return home in the evening.”


    Smiling faintly, Matilda never uttered a word.


    Standing behind the couch, John ran his fingers through Sophia’s hair. Seeing as she never responded to him, he stretched out his hand to


    pinch her face.


    Suppressing her urge tough, Sophia remained silent.


    Unable to take it anymore, John leaned close to her and said, “I’ll go upstairs to get changed now. Are youing with me?”


    Trying to make herself sound calm, Sophia replied, “No. Why should I go with you?”


    After a pause, John went on to say, “Aren’t we going outter? Of course we’ll have to get changed.”


    Bursting intoughter, Sophia turned around to eye him. “We’re going to have lunch soon. After that, we’ll go.”


    Sophia didn’t try to change the topic, implying that John didn’t misunderstand their conversation over the phone. Smiling, he circled around


    the couch and took a seat beside her. “Alright. We’ll go after lunch.”


    Not understanding what they were talking about, Matilda turned to them. “Why are you going outter? As a pregnantdy, Sophia should


    stay at home.”


    Before Sophia could speak, John hurriedly said, “We’re going to the Civil Affairs Bureauter.”


    Astounded, Matilda gazed at Sophia with widened eyes. “Are you going to register for marriage?”


    Sophia didn’t give her a definitive answer. “Oh, we’re going there to have a look


    ” What is there to look around the Civil Affairs Bureau? Looking at her son from the corner of her eye, Matilda said, “Congrattions, my


    son. Your wish hase true.” With a bashful face, John thanked his mother. When Old Mrs. Constance came downstairster, she was


    surprised to see John at this hour because it wasn’t time for him to get off work yet. Moreover, she was puzzled to see the excitement on his


    face. As she was going down the stairs, she asked, “Has anything good happened at work that you’ve rushed home to tell us about?” Shaking


    his head, John smirked. He hadn’t been so happy for quite some time now. Seeing as John never replied to her, Old Mrs. Constance turned to


    Sophia, who seemed to be absorbed in the drama and oblivious to the others. A momentter, Matilda said, “John and Sophia are going to


    remarryter.” With her eyes widened, Old Mrs. Constance asked in disbelief, “Really?” Not believing what she had heard, she walked up to


    Sophia and asked, “Sophia, have you really made up your mind? Have you decided to remarry John because of our persuasion?” Shifting her


    attention to the olddy, Sophia said in an impassive manner, “I’m just going to the bureau to have a look. At this moment, I’m not sure what


    my next move will be.” Despite what she had said, Old Mrs. Constance understood that she simply didn’t want to say it out in a clear manner,


    but she was a kind woman with a soft heart. Grinning from ear to ear, Old Mrs. Constance pped her hands and said, “Alright. After you


    leave, I’ll tell the housekeeper to buy more ingredients from the supermarket. Since this is a happy day, tell my other sons and their family


    members toe here as well. We’ll celebrate it together. Oh, my goodness, I’m so happy! We haven’t had such a joyful time for a long


    time.”
