Belinda told her what she should be looking out for in her first trimester and what she shouldn’t do. Sophia nodded but said nothing, while John made a note of everything. He even asked Belinda about ways to reduce the effects of morning sickness. “Sophia’s suffering from it.”
Belinda told him a few fruits that could lessen the symptom, but it was impossible to remove it. “Every pregnant woman has to go through this. It’s their trial.”
John made a clear note of everything, and Sophia looked at him. If it weren’t for what he did, John would have been a good husband and father. But he’s just a shameless man now. And how dare he trick me. The thought of that angered her.
Belinda stayed until late at night before leaving. Matilda had retired for the night, so she didn’t send her off. Sophia and John stood outside the door and saw Belinda off. After she got into the car, Belinda rolled the window down and sighed. “Is your mother blaming us for what happened?”
John was surprised she’d ask that, but then he smiled. “No. She doesn’t obsess over every little thing now, so she isn’t blaming anyone for what happened. It’s just that she’s different, so you’ll have to get used to it.”
Belinda looked up at the second floor. “It’s great your mother has changed. She’s a lot more mature than she was.”
John nodded. “Yes. She’s getting along well with Sophia. I guess she has really changed.” William went into the driver’s seat and said nothing. John only gave him a glance before looking away.
