Did John go back to the shady-looking bank and investigate the matter further? At the thought of that, Sophia quickly told Logan about the bank that she and John passed by earlier that day. “I think John could be there.”
Learning about the possibility, Logan was silent for a few seconds before he answered, “Alright, I know what I should do now.”
After both of them chatted over the phone for a while, they ended the tele-conversation, whereupon Sophia made her way to the living room with her mobile phone. While she was too restless and anxious to sit still, Old Mrs. Constance happened to enter the house at that moment. Seeing the old lady, Sophia walked up to her and greeted her. “Grandma.”
Upon noticing her worried look, Old Mrs. Constance appeared to be a little taken aback. “What’s wrong with you, girl? You don’t look so well. Tell me what happened.”
Sophia touched her face and asked, “Do you have Dad’s number, Grandma? I just went through my contact list and realized I don’t have his number.”
Old Mrs. Constance stared at Sophia in a trance and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you have something you want to talk to him about?”
Sophia nodded, as she had no intention of hiding her concern. “I’ve been trying to reach John, but he didn’t pick up the call. So, I just want to know whether he is in the office at the moment.”
Assuming that Sophia was trying to keep tabs on her husband, Old Mrs. Constance laughed in response. “Haha. I see what you’re worried about now. Where else could he be beside his office?” Despite saying that, she instructed the maid to bring her phone and showed William’s number to Sophia.
After jotting down William’s number, Sophia immediately left the living room and headed outside to phone William. Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Constance smiled and shook her head in a helpless manner while telling the maid her opinion. “I can’t get enough of these two little kids. They’re lovely, aren’t they?”
As soon as she heard that, Sophia’s bad hunch felt stronger than before, but nonetheless, she revealed nothing more than the fact that she couldn’t reach John.
At the same time, William wasn’t suspicious about Sophia’s anxious behavior as he smiled and said, “Maybe he is just in a meeting with a client or something. So, just relax, Sophia. Have some faith in John. He is a grown man, and he is absolutely capable of taking care of himself.”
After hearing William’s reassurance, Sophia responded with only a few words, followed by an indifferent grunt before hanging up the call. At that moment, she couldn’t stop worrying about John as she had never failed to reach John before. Deep down, she was tempted to leave home and find John herself but quickly gave up the idea when she was reminded of her pregnancy. I can’t just impulsively run off like that. Who knows what danger could be waiting for me outside? If that happens, I’ll find myself in a very disadvantageous position. Therefore, all I can do now is just to wait.
Ironically, waiting was the most torturous moment for Sophia, as her worry and fear kept haunting her until she decided to call John again later that evening. After ringing for a long while, someone finally picked up the call.

So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
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....
Sophia is so stupid....
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...
