John and Sophia looked at each other before going in. William thought something was wrong, so he wanted to call Matilda and Yolanda back, but John stopped him.
Sophia smiled. John was just inviting Yolanda out of courtesy. He wasn’t planning on her actually having dinner with them. It’d be awkward if Yolanda and Matilda were around the same table, so they ditched the plan.
Quickly finishing her dinner, Sophia went upstairs, but a while later, she called from the staircase, “Mom, did you see my plaid shirt? You kept it for me, didn’t you?”
Matilda looked up in surprise. “It’s in your cabinet!”
“I don’t see it,” Sophia mumbled. “Never mind. I’ll look around.” After a while, she came out again. “Mom, do you know where the ultrasound report is? It’s missing!”
John came out of the dining room. “It’s in the cabinet. Try looking there.”
“Oh.” Before she could turn around, William had come out of the dining room after finishing his dinner. Thus, she asked, “Done so soon, Dad?”
William paused for a moment before he answered, “Yes.”
Sophia smiled. “Go over and sit with Mom, then. Have a little chat with Ms. Bloom.” She then went to her room, not before she remarked as she walked, however, “I’m really getting forgetful these days. I keep forgetting where everything is. It’s so frustrating.”
John looked up at the second floor and smiled. She can act well.
