Chapter 712


    At first, John was a little nonchnt, but his face turned solemn as he looked through the pictures,


    especially when he came to thest one. Pausing, he told her to wait for a moment and left the room.


    Knowing exactly what he was going to do, Sophia waited until he was gone before going into the


    bathroom and saw that he had thrown all the clothes he was wearing earlier into the bin, including his


    jacket and shirt. After she had seen that, she twirled around and went out.

    Standing at the top of the staircase, she watched silently as Johnpared the angle of thest


    picture, trying to find out where it was taken.


    In the end, he stopped at the side of the door panel and scrutinized the panel carefully. In just a few


    seconds, he picked something out from between the pattern gaps of the panel.


    Sophia had already guessed it as well, actually. She didn’t think that she would have missed it if


    someone stood that close to her and even took a picture of herself. So, that would only mean that she


    was being monitored. Despite that, she wasn’t afraid and thought that the other party was rather


    capable.


    Clenching the device in his hand, the look on John’s face turned grim. Even though Husky managed to


    sneak into the housest time, he was obviously not a proficient person in his job. On the other hand,


    this person proved to be a bigger threat than him although he or she had only reached their doors.


    After staring at the panel for a while, he was now fully awake and saw Sophia when he turned around


    and lifted his head. As she stood by the handrail with a calm expression, the look on her face made him


    feel as though his heart was being crushed. It felt a little bitter and uneasy at the same time.


    Ascending the staircase slowly, he paced over to her side and stroked her face. “Are you afraid?”


    Sophia grinned. “There’s nothing to be afraid of.”


    The edges of his lips curled up into a smirk, and he sighed. “Let’s go back to the room.”


    When they returned to the bedroom, Sophia naturally crawled back into bed while John sat leaning on


    the headboard as he texted. Even though the buzzing sound of his phone vibrating wasn’t noisy, it was


    considered loudpared to the silence she experiencedst night. But it was exactly in this


    environment that she inexplicably fell asleep again peacefully.


    After he was done sending his texts, John lowered his gaze and saw her curled up and sleeping


    soundly beside him. As he stroked her hair like she was a kitten, she must have been sleeping


    Putting away his cell phone, hey down as well and pulled her into his embrace. He closed his eyes


    and felt her belly. There was nothing, really, but he had an ineffable feeling that her belly had gotten


    bigger. A relieved sigh escaped his lips, and his heart suddenly felt at ease.


    And so, the both of them fell asleep until Matilda came knocking on their door.


    It was John who woke up first, and he realized that it was time to start the day when he saw the time.


    Opening the door, he looked at Matilda and whispered, “Let’s wait a little longer. It seems like she didn’t


    sleep wellst night.”


    Matilda nced into the room and nodded. “Alright, then I’ll prepare breakfast and bring it upstairs. Tell


    her to wash up so she can continue sleeping after eating.”


    He nodded after a moment of hesitation. “Okay.”


    After Matilda went downstairs, he prepared a damp towel to clean Sophia’s face, and she woke up with


    half-opened eyes. “Is it time to wake up?”


    “Yeah, wake up and brush your teeth. Breakfast will be sent upstairs in a while, and you can go back to


    bed after eating. But don’t sleep too much in the day, or you won’t be able to sleep again at night.”


    Sophia shot him a look and murmured, “You’re such a nag.”


    Chuckling, he said, “Yeah, I’m a nag, but only to you.”
