Chapter 973
With Sophia in his arms, John kissed her on the forehead. The two snuggled for a while before heading downstairs.
It was time for dinner. The two of them saw Matilda wiping her hands and ready to go upstairs to inform everyone.
Sophia said, “Mom! Hasn’t Grandmae down?” Sophia’s way of addressing Matilda made her jump in shock.

She smacked her lips with an awkward expression and replied, “You should just call me Madam Flintstone. That way, I won’t feel any gap
between us. If you call me Mom, my heart will jump, and I will feel as if I have aged.”
Sophiaughed jovially at Matilda’s funny response. “Not only you, I feel weird calling you Mom as well. Great, Madam Flintstone it is.”
Feeling a little amused by how odd the conversation could go between thedies, John asked, “Do I need to call you by your name as well?”
Matilda red at him. “What for? Don’t you want to be my son? Or you don’t see me as your mother?”
Faced with his mother’s chain of questions, he quickly shut up and regretted his decision to butt in. I should have listened without
interrupting.
Matilda turned to Sophia and said, “Your grandma hasn’te down yet. I’m going upstairs to notify her.” Upon saying so, she turned her
body slightly to walk around John and Sophia to the second floor.
After stepping down the stairs, Sophia carefully stretched her limbs. “By the way, did Logan contact youst night?”
John grunted before answering, “Yeah, he gave me some valuable clues. Even though he is all over the ce and acts carelessly, at the crucial
moment, he ys an important role.”
At the mention of Logan’s character, Sophia immediately broke into a smile. “I think Logan is at Miss Hunt’s ce now.
I can’t exin why, but I feel that those two have something going on.” John pursed his lips without replying. To be honest, he had had a
discussion with Logan about L. Even though she had made a career switch, she used to be part of the police and had some support behind
her. Getting L onto their side to help would be much easier than dealing with the matter themselves. John and Sophia waited in the dining
room. Soon, Matilda returned with Old Mrs. Constance. The olddy looked as if she had just woken up. With Matilda’s help, she carefully
descended the stairs. When they wereing down, Sophia overheard them talking about the Flintstones, which reminded her that Old Mrs.
Constance had wanted to pay a visit to the Flintstones. Indeed, when the two women appeared, Old Mrs. Constance announced, “I will head
over to the Flintstone Residence in the afternoon. Matilda will stay home. Sophia, do you have anything you crave? I can buy you some when
I’m out.” She’s treating me like a kid! Not having any cravings, Sophia shook her head. “I don’t particrly crave anything. I’m fine. There
are too many fruits at home, and I’ll have those instead.” Old Mrs. Constance smiled warmly at her.
“We didn’t treat you well in the past. That’s why I wanted to make it up to you now.” Grinning, Sophia suggested, “If you want to make it up
to me, just have John do it.” Old Mrs. Constance nodded, and her gaze swept through the locked hands that Sophia and John ced on the
table. She clicked her tongue and remarked, “From what I see, John is really treating you like a princess now. Ah, how good it is to be
young!” Not only did John and Sophia not feel shy, but they also tightened their grip on each other’s fingers. Seeing how lovey-dovey the
young couple were, Matildaughed out loud from the side. “These two are resembling each other more and more. From their temper to
personality, they grow to resemble each other.” Sophia startedughing as well. “Well, I have a better temper than John.” Hearing ament
about himself, John pinched her hand. “Whatever. As long as you’re happy, you can say anything you want about me.” The atmosphere at
today’s dining table was obviously better thanst night’s. The four of them ate and chatted merrily. During the meal, Old Mrs. Constance did
not forget to check with John. “Why didn’t youe homest night?”
