Chapter 959


    Jennifer then tried to excuse herself. “Oh, it’s about time. I suppose I should get changed and set off


    soon. Goodbye for now, Sophia. Stay safe.”


    Sophia nodded while keeping a straight face upon seeing Jennifer’s reaction. At the same time, the


    away. Soon, Sophia came to understand why Matilda used to ride roughshod over Jennifer. Someone


    has to do something to keep her mouth shut!


    At the thought of that, Sophia suddenly missed Matilda, finally learning to appreciate Matilda’s


    genuineness after she had changed for the better. Although Matilda was more mild-mannered than


    before, Sophia still believed that thisdy was revered and feared for her previous reputation.


    Sophia continued to sit in the garden until John came back home in the afternoon. Then, both of them


    held hands together and returned to the main building. Upon seeing John return, Old Mrs. Constance


    didn’t seem surprised as she sat down with her grandson and said, “So, it seems that your dad isn’t


    John looked at Old Mrs. Constance in surprise. “Haven’t you figured it out, Grandma? How would Dad


    possibly settle lunch by himself or with Uncle Owen and Uncle Samuel? He is with Mom now.”


    Clicking her tongue, Old Mrs. Constance replied, “Oh yeah. Why haven’t I thought of that?”


    Sophiaughed in amusement, suddenly finding John and his grandmother adorable and lovely. Soon,


    lunch was ready, but Sophia wasn’t hungry yet. So, she sat there and watched while Old Mrs.


    Constance and her grandson had their lunch. Later, the conversation slowly revolved around Jennifer


    when Sophia began toin about how she had been bragging about Dn’s girlfriend.


    John burst intoughter and said, “Haha! People tend to brag about what theyck, so let’s just ignore


    them and move on. Life is short, so don’t let their words put you down!”


    Sophia chuckled and said, “Haha! I can’t stop thinking about the speechless look on her face when I


    told her that Uncle Samuel’s children would be back to join thepany after all her bragging!” She


    then gleefully added, “The next time she ever tries to brag about Dn’s girlfriend again, I’m going to


    shut her mouth up by talking about work.”


    Old Mrs. Constance shook her head in a helpless manner. “Perhaps only you and Matilda have a knack

    for humbling her.” Nheless, Sophia reckoned there was a slight difference between their


    dominances over Jennifer. While Matilda usually fast-talked her way out unreasonably, Sophia relied on


    her wits to knock Jennifer down to size more often than not.


    After a delightful meal, Sophia and John took some rest before John took her to a warehouse under the


    Constance Group, which had be a workce for those who left their viges to make a living.


    Since John had already informed them about their visit ahead, he and Sophia were expected to go to


    the workers’ quarters, where John directly took her to meet them.


    Buddy quickly ran up to Sophia when he saw her. “Oh gosh, Sophia! You look like you’ve put on


    weight….” Before he finished his sentence, he soon realized that what he saw might not be what he


    thought. Wait a second! She didn’t put on weight! She is pregnant. Soon, everyone else came closer


    and asked, “Are you pregnant, Sophia?”


    Sophia nodded while cing her hand over her tummy. “Yeah, it’s been more than three months since


    thest time I went back to my maternal home.”


    The rest of the people smacked their lips and said, “How could you not say anything about it back


    then? You went up the hill and visited the cemetery by yourself. Anything could have happened at any


    point.”


    Sophiaughed it off and said, “Come on! I’m tough, and you guys know that. You all were with me as I


    grew up, after all.” In fact, Sophia was indeed tough, having shouldered her family’s burden even when


    she was a little girl, unlike any other child.
