Chapter 753
With her brows knitted together, Sophia gave John a meaningful nce. “You looked kind of upset.”
Pinching her face, John grinned. “Nonsense. I look happy whenever I see you.”
Just then, something crossed his mind. “Don’t wander off on your own for these few days. If you need
anything, I’ll send someone over to get it for you. I was followed when I was on the way back just now.
They didn’t do anything, so I’m not sure what they were up to.”
Shocked, Sophia asked, “You were followed during broad daylight? What were they nning to do?”
Letting out a sigh, John said, “I’m not sure whether they were after me or you. Just in case, you’d better
not wander off on your own and stay at home. Let me know if you need anything. I’ll send someone
over.”
cing her hands on her belly, Sophia nodded obediently.
At times, she might be stubborn, but this time, she had to listen to him. She was no longer on her own,
as she had to bear a mother’s responsibility.
Holding Sophia in his arms, John said, “Let’s go. I need to finish my meal.”
As soon as they reached the dining hall, Matilda had just finished her dinner, but she looked kind of
enervated. When she saw both of theming over, she excused herself, and went upstairs to rest for
a bit.
Once Matilda had gone upstairs, Sophia remarked, “Since this morning, Madam Flintstone seemed
rather lifeless. I don’t know what’s gotten into her.”
Darting a nce at the staircase, John said, “I guess I’d better send my Dad a text about it. Honestly, I
don’t know whether they intend to start all over again or start going their separate ways.”
With a sigh, Sophiamented, “I don’t know about your dad, but for Madam Flintstone, I have a

feeling that she’s not over it yet. As their son, you really ought to do something about it.”
Gazing downward from Sophia’s face to her belly, John felt that to a certain degree, his child and him
shared the same fate.
Once Matilda got upstairs, shey on bed, not feeling too well.
Confused, she didn’t understand why she was feeling nauseous and even had the urge to puke.
With her eyes shut, Matilda felt a sense of emptiness within her.
In a daze, she fell asleep and didn’t even notice when John had left.
By the time Matilda woke up, it was already evening.
After getting up, she had a quick wash. Taking her phone, she saw a message from William. In it, he
mentioned he had heard from John that she wasn’t feeling well, and was asking whether she had
gotten better.
Feeling reluctant to reply, Matilda pretended she didn’t see it.
When she got downstairs, she saw Sophia sitting on the couch, and there were some snacks on the
coffee table.
Holding a box of popcorn, Sophia was happily watching television with her phone ced at the side.
Walking toward her, Matilda told her, “Can you snack healthily? Eat more fruits.”
Passing the box popcorn to Matilda, Sophia teased, “You’ve slept like a log! Are you pregnant too?”
Hearing that, Matilda gave a friendly p on Sophia’s shoulder. “What nonsense! I can see that you’re
getting toofortable with me now, huh? You’re no longer holding back.”
“Mmh. It’s going to be dinner soon. Considering that you’ve slept through the entire afternoon, you’re
going to get indigestion. Do you think you can still eatter?” Sophia said, her eyes set on the
television.
Leaning against the sofa, Matilda sighed and didn’t reply.
A whileter, John came back from work. Stretching her neck to get a quick glimpse at the door, Sophia
noticed that William didn’te over with John.
Feeling disappointed, Sophia ignored John and walked toward the dining hall with her lips pursed.
On the other hand, Matilda had lost her appetite, so she decided to skip her meal.
Gazing at John, she said, “You go ahead and have dinner. I’ve taken a long nap, so I figure I should go
out for a walk.”
