“The girl is very nice,” Sophia hurriedly blurted. “Grandma has also seen her before, and she was even planning to introduce her to Dylan, but she then found out that Logan likes her.”
Matilda’s eyes went wide. “Really? She must be something else if Mom took a shine to her.”
Nodding, Old Mrs. Constance’s voice was still tinged with a hint of regret. “Yup. She’s a delightful girl from a decent family. I was thinking about introducing her to Dylan, but I then nixed the idea since she had a boyfriend. But who knew, she later broke up with her boyfriend and got together with that Jefferson kid instead. God knows how miffed I was.”
Upon hearing that she was finally speaking her mind, Sophia burst into laughter.
Beside her, Matilda chortled as well. “Mom, you’ve got to let this matter go. Why are you so adamant at this time? Besides, that girl might not necessarily get along well with Dylan.”
While it was theoretically so, Old Mrs. Constance was still somewhat resentful that there was no longer a chance when Lola and Dylan hadn’t even met before. I’d feel better if they’d met yet didn’t like each other.
Sophia was laughing so much that she leaned sideways against John’s shoulder. John raised a hand and held her arm. “Okay, that’s enough. Get on with dinner.”
Turning, Sophia looked at him. “Don’t you find it funny? Look how adorable Grandma is!”
John didn’t find anyone else adorable. Instead, he found Sophia immensely adorable at the moment, her exuberance now causing his heart to melt into a puddle.
