Anna clenched her fists tightly. When Anna noticed Sophia going to the bathroom, she stood up.
Meanwhile, Wayne was feeding Matthew.
"Where are you going?" he asked
"I'm going to the bathroom," Anna said calmly, "And I'll be right back."
She realized that only she and Sophia knew the truth while Wayne and Peter still had no clue about it. As a result, she was curious about Sophia's motivation for doing so.

When Sophia noticed how anxious Anna looked, she snorted and said, "Well, | think I've been polite enough to you. And I don't know why you suspect me. Who is Matthew's birth mother, if not me? Is that you?"
