Chapter 1060


    Because of that, John had intentionally left her in the cold more often than not, which he believed was due to his rebelliousness in hindsight.


    After a brief contemtion, John said, “Alright, let’s count him out then, but if he is not doing well, we can always give him some space at


    work.”


    William nodded in response. “Yeah, you’re right. That poor kid has never been in control of his own life because his parents won’t let him, yet


    they have taken his obedience for granted for so long that they unknowingly treated any of his disagreements as rebelliousness. I wish Owen


    and Jennifer would look back on the past twenty years and appreciate Dn for never saying no to them. After all, they should be grateful for


    having such an obedient son.” After the chatter, William excused himself as he still had work to do.


    At that moment, John leaned back on his chair and took out a cigarette, ready to smoke it. However, he soon put it aside when he recalled


    Sophia expressing her disgust toward the smell of cigarettes that he reeked of.


    Sophia is getting harder and harder to please recently. At times, she would wake John up in the middle of the night when she couldn’t sleep to


    have him chat with her until the next morning. Even so, John decided to put up with her because he didn’t want to upset her. After all, with her


    current condition, he couldn’t afford to upset her at all.

    Later that night, John returned home just as he saw Sophia walking down the stairs. She appeared to be scratching her head, so John guessed


    she must have just woken up from a nap. Oh jeez! I have a bad feeling about this! I guess it’ll be another sleepless night for me with some


    ‘interesting’ stories. As much as John was willing to stay up throughout the night to keep his wifepany, he was afraid that he would


    eventually fall apart since he often had to work the next day.


    Meanwhile, Sophia chuckled happily as she jumped from the stairs, scaring John out of his wits. “Oh jeez, be careful, girl! You nearly gave


    me a heart attack!”


    Sophia ced her hand over her stomach and said, “Don’t worry. This little guy is doing fine here.” Then, she added, “By the way, Isabelle


    invited me to attend Mr. Ernest’s birthday celebration. I don’t know why, but my intuition tells me that she is up to something.”


    John was caught off guard


    “Isabelle invited you?” Sophia nodded. “Yup. She called me earlier to tell me that, and I bet that old man must be right beside her at that


    time.” John revealed a cial look and replied, “I see. So, you’re saying that it’s Elder Mr. Bailey’s idea to invite you?” Sophia replied


    indifferently, “Mmph. That makes sense. Maybe that old man is up to something.” At that moment, John was reminded of the moment that


    two cars were hot on Sophia’s heels when she was going somewhere previously, which he believed they were trying to kill her. Therefore,


    John was convinced that their purpose behind this invitation was the same as their previous murderous attempt. At the thought of that, he


    wrapped his arms around Sophia’s shoulders and walked her to the couch. “Stay home these few days. I’ll find out what they’re up to.” Sophia


    pursed her lips. “Well, I think they won’t proceed with their n if I don’t show up, which is why they keep insisting on inviting me. I guess I


    will have to show up one way or another.” I knew she would say that, but I’ll never agree to let her put herself at risk. John pondered for a


    short while and said, “I’ll see what I can do by then. If it’s really necessary, I’ll get someone to pose as you and see if I can lure the culprit


    out.” Upon hearing John’s reply, Sophia felt relieved, smiling while snaking her arm around the man’s waist. “That’s a good n, but I’m just


    worried that Elder Mr. Bailey would get so mad that his heart would give out when he learns that I’m an imposter.”
