Chapter 655


    Matilda hummed while listening to Isabelle’sints. “Take it slow. You’ll do fine after you get used


    to the workload.”


    Smiling, Isabelle agreed, “Yeah, so I’d like toe up with a standard procedure as soon as possible,


    which could hopefully help ease things.”


    After a while, Matilda said, “Well, I suppose you should work on that. Since I don’t really have anything


    of importance, I’ll end the call here.”


    Upon getting Isabelle’s consent, she hung up. Matilda was frowning as she did because Isabelle didn’t


    sound much different from her usual self, so the incident might have nothing to do with her after all.


    She then turned around to hail a cab by the road.


    Her feelings toward Isabelle wereplicated, to say the least. Although she didn’t hate Isabelle, she


    was extremely disappointed in thetter for using her despite how she treated Isabelle as her own


    daughter. I shouldn’t have done all those things for her. What a waste of effort.


    On the other hand, she still harbored a dislike toward Sophia, but it didn’t mean she hated the child she


    carried, as the child was John’s child and her grandchild. The fact that she would soon be a


    grandmother came as quite a shock, which made her feel older all of a sudden. Heaving a sigh, she left


    on the cab.


    In the meantime, Sophia managed to fall asleep after spending hours tossing and turning in bed.


    However, neither were her dreams a peaceful escape, as she dreamed of her being chased by


    someone while holding her child in her hands. All she could think of was to run as fast as her legs could


    carry her so that she could leave the ce, but the formless being behind her remained in hot pursuit.


    Sophia was drenched in her own sweat due to anxiety and fear.


    The dream went on until she woke up theing morning. Upon opening her eyes, she could feel the


    sticky sensation on her skin. Aside from that, she was tired out, as if having physically ranps during


    her sleep despite it being a dream. She propped herself up to look out of the window. The weather was


    pleasant enough with loads of sunshine, which seemed to help dissipate the depressing feelings left by


    the dream. Getting out of bed, she took a deep breath to pump herself up.


    At this time, John was cooking in the kitchen. As if having unlocked a talent within him, he could


    already present her with a lot of the moremon dishes. Walking up to him, Sophia greeted him a


    good morning.


    In fact, John hardly slept a winkst night, but he seemed alright. “Breakfast is almost ready. I’ll drive


    you to your shop once we’re done eating.” He checked the time then. “I will be paying that man a visit


    Upon hearing what John said, Sophia nodded. “Remember to update me on the oue.”


    Cheerfully, John hummed in agreement. “Worry not. I’ll make sure you’re the first to know.”


    Soon, John was done cooking, and upon having finished their meal, John sent Sophia to her shop


    before driving away. Sophia seemed to be in better spiritspared to the past few days. Noticing that


    John drove Sophia to work, Robin smacked her lips in mock envy. “He sure is nice to you.”


    Sophia went over and lent her a hand with the task she was on. “What’s the matter? Is your boyfriend


    not treating you well?”


    Averting her gaze, Robin mumbled, “I suppose he isn’t half bad.” There was a pause before she


    repeated herself, “In fact, he’s great, so I should be satisfied.”


    Sophia didn’tment on it as she busied herself with work.


    Meanwhile, John made his way to a warehouse owned by hispany that was located in the


    suburbs. The warehouse was empty as thepany found no use of it, having fallen into disrepair. It


    was located on a huge plot of emptynd, and because it was vacant, only a single person was

    stationed to watch over the ce, who was transferred to another warehousest night.
