Chapter 959
Jennifer then tried to excuse herself. “Oh, it’s about time. I suppose I should get changed and set off soon. Goodbye for now, Sophia. Stay
safe.”
Sophia nodded while keeping a straight face upon seeing Jennifer’s reaction. At the same time, thetter stopped in her tracks, turning around
before heading back into the house as her fake smile faded away. Soon, Sophia came to understand why Matilda used to ride roughshod over
Jennifer. Someone has to do something to keep her mouth shut!
At the thought of that, Sophia suddenly missed Matilda, finally learning to appreciate Matilda’s genuineness after she had changed for the
better. Although Matilda was more mild-mannered than before, Sophia still believed that thisdy was revered and feared for her previous
reputation.
Sophia continued to sit in the garden until John came back home in the afternoon. Then, both of them held hands together and returned to the
main building. Upon seeing John return, Old Mrs. Constance didn’t seem surprised as she sat down with her grandson and said, “So, it seems
that your dad isn’ting back for lunch. Does he have it alone or with Owen and Samuel?”
John looked at Old Mrs. Constance in surprise. “Haven’t you figured it out, Grandma? How would Dad possibly settle lunch by himself or
with Uncle Owen and Uncle Samuel? He is with Mom now.”
Clicking her tongue, Old Mrs. Constance replied, “Oh yeah. Why haven’t I thought of that?”
Sophiaughed in amusement, suddenly finding John and his grandmother adorable and lovely. Soon, lunch was ready, but Sophia wasn’t
hungry yet. So, she sat there and watched while Old Mrs. Constance and her grandson had their lunch.
Later, the conversation slowly revolved around Jennifer when Sophia began toin about how she had been bragging about Dn’s
girlfriend. John burst intoughter and said, “Haha! People tend to brag about what theyck, so let’s just ignore them and move on. Life is
short, so don’t let their words put you down!” Sophia chuckled and said, “Haha! I can’t stop thinking about the speechless look on her face
when I told her that Uncle Samuel’s children would be back to join thepany after all her bragging!” She then gleefully added, “The next
time she ever tries to brag about Dn’s girlfriend again, I’m going to shut her mouth up by talking about work.” Old Mrs. Constance shook
her head in a helpless manner. “Perhaps only you and Matilda have a knack for humbling her.” Nheless, Sophia reckoned there was a
slight difference between their dominances over Jennifer. While Matilda usually fast-talked her way out unreasonably, Sophia relied on her
wits to knock Jennifer down to size more often than not. After a delightful meal, Sophia and John took some rest before John took her to a
warehouse under the Constance Group, which had be a workce for those who left their viges to make a living. Since John had
already informed them about their visit ahead, he and Sophia were expected to go to the workers’ quarters, where John directly took her to
meet them. Buddy quickly ran up to Sophia when he saw her. “Oh gosh, Sophia! You look like you’ve put on weight….” Before he finished
his sentence, he soon realized that what he saw might not be what he thought. Wait a second! She didn’t put on weight! She is pregnant. Soon,
everyone else came closer and asked, “Are you pregnant, Sophia?” Sophia nodded while cing her hand over her tummy. “Yeah, it’s been
more than three months since thest time I went back to my maternal home.” The rest of the people smacked their lips and said, “How could
you not say anything about it back then? You went up the hill and visited the cemetery by yourself. Anything could have happened at any
point.” Sophiaughed it off and said, “Come on! I’m tough, and you guys know that. You all were with me as I grew up, after all.” In fact,
Sophia was indeed tough, having shouldered her family’s burden even when she was a little girl, unlike any other child.
