Old Mrs. Constance nodded. “I guess we should just let them do whatever they want.” After a pause, she said, “I’ll talk to your late father about it later so that he’ll be as happy as us in heaven.”
At the mention of Old Mr. Constance, the others fell silent.
Startled, Sophia thought about her own grandfather, who was most fond of kids. When they lived in the village, he would help take care of other kids. If he were still alive, he would be elated that Sophia now had a child of her own.
At the thought of this, Sophia became disheartened until dinner was ready. Perhaps she shouldn’t have thought of the past because her mood was affected.
After everyone was seated around the dining table, Old Mrs. Constance thanked Sophia in delight as this gathering was made possible because of her.
Holding Sophia’s hand firmly, John giggled. It was apparent to everyone else that he was overjoyed.
Although Sophia had a long sleep, she still felt pretty tired. During the meal, all of them were having a casual chat, but Sophia never said anything. Worried, John turned to her and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Sophia shook her head. “Maybe I just didn’t rest well. I still feel tired.”
Stroking her head, John suggested, “When the dinner is over, we’ll have a stroll together.”
Sophia grunted. “Okay.”
After shooting them a glance, Dylan hurriedly retracted his gaze.
It seems that she isn’t interested in anything. Holding her hand, John sighed and stepped out of the backyard. Since Sophia’s bulge was pretty big now, John had to be extra attentive to her.
Nevertheless, they never walked up to the crest of the hill as they stopped halfway. Afraid that Sophia would exhaust herself, John kept patting her back. “Alright. Let’s stop here. We shouldn’t go up.”
In fact, they wouldn’t see more of the view on the hilltop, so it wasn’t necessary to keep going up. Halfway up the hill, they gazed at the mansion. The street lamps had lit up, and the night view was magnificent.
Feeling cold because of the breeze, Sophia thought for a bit and snuggled up to John. She was rarely so spontaneous in getting close to him, so John was elated and wrapped his arms around her. Kissing her cheek, he asked, “Do you feel cold?”
Without dodging it, Sophia kissed his lips and smirked. “I don’t feel cold now.”

Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....

John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
