Sophia slept until dusk, and she was woken up by someone. When she got up groggily, she saw John beside the bed. Held down by her fuzzy mind, she didn’t manage to show her anger yet. “What?”
John was smiling. “Grandma’s here, and she’s downstairs. Do you want to see her?”
Sophia grunted, and she slowly sat up while rubbing her face. “Why did she come at this hour?”
John patted her head. “She said she wants to see you.”
Sophia paused, then she realized what was happening. “You told her?” She frowned at him.
Pursing his lips, he said, “No. I told my dad, but he won’t hide something like this from her.”
Sophia felt like yelling—in fact, she didn’t want too many people knowing about her pregnancy.
On the other hand, John looked happy. “Grandma even said she’ll ask a fortune teller in the temple to predict a lucky day for us.” Sophia looked up at him, and he answered, “We’ll be registering our marriage then. We didn’t choose well the first time.”
Sophia almost laughed at how ridiculous it was. “My, my, aren’t we confident? You really think I’ll marry you, you shameless b*stard?” She shoved him away afterward and went to wash her face, then she tied her hair and went downstairs, not looking at John.
Sure enough, Belinda was waiting downstairs with William by her side. Matilda was there, too, but she was sitting a few spaces away from Belinda. Ms. Cannon served some fruits and tea, and Matilda was sipping from her cup. They looked like they were meeting for the first time.
