Chapter 221


    Mrs. Constance paused. With a suspicious voice, she asked, “Sophia got to know him herself? With the


    identity she has?”


    John didn’t really want to talk about this. He was feeling a bit irritable today, ever since this morning.


    When he talked with Isabelle about work in the afternoon, he had felt a little bit better. But when he met


    Sophia at night, this feeling came back again. It continued up until now.


    Mrs. Constance was a bit worried. “John, your rtionship with Logan is decent at best. He changes


    with the flip of a coin. He is someone who would point and yell at his own father. There is nothing he


    can’t do. I’m worried that when he gets bewitched by Sophia, he would break off all ties with you,


    then…”


    Johnughed. “Mom, you’re overthinking things. Sophia isn’t that sort of person. Even if she is, how will


    she bewitch him?”


    Mrs. Constance didn’t want to admit this, but she still admitted grudgingly, “She is beautiful.”


    Then, she continued, “If it weren’t for the fact that her looks were passable, I never would have agreed

    with the two of you getting married in the first ce, no matter what.”


    John sighed. “There’s no need to speak of this matter again. It’s useless to talk about all this now.”


    Mrs. Constance also knew that. She smacked her lips helplessly. “It is useless. John, we’ve ruined


    you.”


    That was going a bit far.


    John actually didn’t me anyone, for he had also agreed to the wedding back then.


    If he hadn’t agreed, his family would’ve tied him up and brought him over to the Civil Affairs Bureau to


    sign and collect the marriage certificate.


    So everything that happened till now had all gone as he had expected.


    He couldn’t me anyone.


    He disagreed with his mother, then continued, “Sophia and I are different from what you all think.”


    Talking about this, John felt exasperated. “Also, Mom, you shouldn’t have insisted on an asion like


    today.”


    He was talking about how his mother had insisted for Sophia to bring her friend over.


    Today, Mrs. Constance had wanted to embarrass Sophia, which was clear as day to John.


    If he didn’t know the friend Sophia had was Logan, he would have stepped up and put a stop to it.


    The reason he didn’t stop everything from happening was because he wanted Logan toe over and


    show Sophia support.


    During the meal today, his mother was so happy that words slipped from her mouth. She said a few


    things,paring Isabelle and Sophia with one another. Although she wasn’t obvious, she still let out


    snippets that proved she didn’t think much of Sophia. John was a bit ufortable with that. It was


    one thing to say all this when it was just the two of them, but John felt it was unfair to Sophia for his


    mother to say such things in front of so many people. It was for the best that Logan hade over. At


    least the Baileys would know that Sophia wasn’t someone that anyone could look down on.


    When Mrs. Constance heard John say this, she was put on the spot. She wanted to embarrass Sophia


    today, but she was the one who was embarrassed in the end.


    On the way home, William had already told her about how she couldn’t look at the situation and didn’t


    put matters ording to importance. William’s tone was neither angry nor serious. He just pointed out


    facts and reasoned with her on the matter.


    But Mrs. Constance knew that her husband was unhappy, as he had never done this before.


    She sighed. “I was indeed reckless about this matter today. Your father has already told me that putting


    Sophia on the spot out in public was not giving you face.”


    “Yes. No matter what we think ourselves, in the eyes of the public, Sophia is my wife. She represents


    me.”


    After a few seconds, Mrs. Constance said timidly, “John, you seem to be more protective of Sophia


    recently.”
