Chapter 949


    Old Mrs. Constance nodded. “I guess we should just let them do whatever they want.” After a pause,


    she said, “I’ll talk to yourte father about itter so that he’ll be as happy as us in heaven.”


    At the mention of Old Mr. Constance, the others fell silent.


    Startled, Sophia thought about her own grandfather, who was most fond of kids. When they lived in the


    vige, he would help take care of other kids. If he were still alive, he would be ted that Sophia now


    had a child of her own.


    At the thought of this, Sophia became disheartened until dinner was ready. Perhaps she shouldn’t have


    thought of the past because her mood was affected.


    After everyone was seated around the dining table, Old Mrs. Constance thanked Sophia in delight as


    this gathering was made possible because of her.


    Holding Sophia’s hand firmly, John giggled. It was apparent to everyone else that he was overjoyed.


    Although Sophia had a long sleep, she still felt pretty tired. During the meal, all of them were having a


    casual chat, but Sophia never said anything. Worried, John turned to her and asked, “What’s wrong?


    Are you feeling unwell?”


    Sophia shook her head. “Maybe I just didn’t rest well. I still feel tired.”


    Stroking her head, John suggested, “When the dinner is over, we’ll have a stroll together.”


    Sophia grunted. “Okay.”


    After shooting them a nce, Dn hurriedly retracted his gaze.


    Without saying anything, Sophia finished up her food pretty quickly. Seeing this, John hurried up and


    gobbled down his food as well. When they were done with their meals, they rose from the chairs.


    While Sophia remained silent, John apologized to the others and said that they had to take a walk


    because Sophia felt a little ufortable.


    All of them understood that Sophia needed special care currently. Old Mrs. Constance said, “Alright.


    Go for a walk as it is good for her health. Since we’re a family, you don’t have to apologize to us. After


    the stroll, just go back to your room and take a rest. You don’t have toe back here to keep us


    Since his grandmother had said so, John held Sophia’s hand and stepped out of the dining hall.


    Without all the noise, Sophia felt much better as they walked toward the backyard.


    After giving it a thought, John asked, “Do you want to have a walk around the bamboo forest?”

    Looking in the direction of the bamboo forest, Sophia replied, “Okay.”


    It seems that she isn’t interested in anything. Holding her hand, John sighed and stepped out of the


    backyard. Since Sophia’s bulge was pretty big now, John had to be extra attentive to her.


    Nevertheless, they never walked up to the crest of the hill as they stopped halfway. Afraid that Sophia


    would exhaust herself, John kept patting her back. “Alright. Let’s stop here. We shouldn’t go up.”


    In fact, they wouldn’t see more of the view on the hilltop, so it wasn’t necessary to keep going up.


    Halfway up the hill, they gazed at the mansion. The streetmps had lit up, and the night view was


    magnificent.


    Feeling cold because of the breeze, Sophia thought for a bit and snuggled up to John. She was rarely


    so spontaneous in getting close to him, so John was ted and wrapped his arms around her. Kissing


    her cheek, he asked, “Do you feel cold?”


    Without dodging it, Sophia kissed his lips and smirked. “I don’t feel cold now.”
